General Information
After gaining independence from Britain, the 13 original colonies formed the United States of America. In the 19th and 20th centuries, 37 additional states joined the union for a total of 50. Visitors from all over the world come to the U.S.A. to explore the wide diversity of the land from snow capped mountains to sun drenched desserts, magnificent national parks, and beautiful beaches. From charming little coastal villages to huge cities full of imposing skyscrapers. The diversity of the land is matched by the diversity of people and cultures. Wall Street wizards on one coast and the magic of Hollywood on the opposite. The lights of Las Vegas, competing for attention with the lights of Times Square and Broadway. A rancher in Texas herding his cattle while not far south in the same state, they're shooting for stars at the Johnson Space Center. There is truly something for everyone in this amazing country created and sustained by people from all over the world who go there to be a part of its' present and future.
