history notes

1. Current territories of the USA after the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands become given independence
in 1994
The records of the lands that became the US started with the advent of the primary human beings inside
the Americas round 15,000 BC. Numerous indigenous cultures formed, and many saw modifications
within the 16th century away from greater densely populated existence and in the direction of
reorganized polities some place else. The European colonization of the Americas started out in the late
fifteenth century, however most colonies in what would later become the US had been settled after
1600. By the 1760s, the 13 British colonies contained 2.Five million human beings and were set up
alongside the Atlantic Coast east of the Appalachian Mountains. After defeating France, the British
government imposed a sequence of taxes, such as the Stamp Act of 1765, rejecting the colonists'
constitutional argument that new taxes wanted their approval. Resistance to these taxes, especially the
Boston Tea Party in 1773, caused Parliament issuing punitive laws designed to quit self-authorities.
Armed war began in Massachusetts in 1775.
