After the discovery of America, many were the great powers in different parts of the colonized. Spain and Portugal occupied the Central and South America, while in the North had established French and English.
Between 1600 and 1700, America went through a bustle of people that goes into the long trip for different reasons. There were those who started with the hope of finding gold, who had fled from persecution, who had been in prison, but also vagrants and exiles to their homeland.
There were many whites who arrived in America, especially in the Northern Ireland, they lived in different tribes of Native Americans, of the nomadic peoples who lived mainly on hunting. The arrival white communities devastated their habitat, leading to the gradual reduction of the tribes, and the increase in cultivated fields, industries and beginning the civilized life.
On the American coast overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, to the east, gave birth to the first colonies, the first American colonies managed by English-speaking immigrants and calls the 13 colonies. These were: Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts.
colonies were all operated from England, which represented a true world power, and dictated strict laws for the marketing of products.
But the settlers failed to abide by these laws and harsh pretentious and rebelled. The year 1776 was a very important year for the United States as the main representatives of the settlers gathered in Philadelphia and signed the Declaration of Independence, with an important document which proclaimed the fallen British power over their colonies.
The British declared war in response to the colonies, but an army of volunteers, led by George Washington defeated England, who recognized the independence of the colonies in 1783. This led to the United States of America, first 13, with their own constitution stipulating that each state was autonomous and had its own laws, but all were ruled by a chief named president. George Washington was chosen.
