The United States, or referred to as America, as always been a natural attraction. During the 1800’s, a huge influx of Europeans came to the US in search of jobs, security and a better life. It has always been called “The land of opportunity”. Many other countries were under severe military oppression or had corrupt governments. The US opened her arms to all these refugees and those seeking shelter.
The US is comprised of 50 states, with other territories being Puerto Rico, Guam, the US Virgin Islands and the US Northern Mariana Islands. It has military bases and embassies all over the world. Contrary to popular belief, Washington DC is NOT a state.
