The document examines the growth of America in terms of states added to the Union and population increase over time based on census data. It shows that states were steadily added to America from 1787 to 1912, while the population has grown in a non-linear manner from 1790 to 2010, initially driven by new states, growth, and immigration, but now primarily reliant on immigration for increases. Graphs and tables of data on states and population demonstrate America's expansion over the centuries.
