"Welcome to VPA American History! The story of how the republic developed
from colonial beginnings in the 16th century, when the first European
explorers arrived, until modern times. As the nation developed, it expanded
westward from small settlements along the Atlantic Coast, to eventually
include all the territory between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. At the
same time, the population and the economy of the United States grew and
changed dramatically. The population diversified as immigrants arrived from
all countries of the world. From its beginnings, as a remote English colony,
the United States has developed the largest economy in the world. Throughout
its history, the United States has faced struggles both within the country—
between various ethnic, religious, political, and economic groups—and with
other nations. The efforts to deal with and resolve these struggles have
shaped the United States of America into the 21st century.
The Best I Can Do!
