Christopher Columbus

One of these explores was Christopher Columbus from Spain, who sailed with crew on 33 small ships for 3 months.

Unknown land

When they saw at last an unknown land they thought that it was India. That is why they called the local people living there red – skin Indians.

Mayflower

In 1620 more than one hundred Englishmen left their country forever and went to America on board the ship «Mayflower» to live and work there.

New Plymouth

Their voyage lasted for many weeks and was very hard. At last they reached the coast of America and began to build a village called New Plymouth.

Fight for independence

Later on, more and more people from many countries came to live in America. England considered these new territories as its colonies and soon the newcomers began to fight for their independence.

The biggest war

The biggest war lasted from 1775 up to 1783. Commander-in-chief of the North American army was Georg Washington.

Declaration of Independence

For purple mountain majesties

Above the fruited plain!

God shed His grace on thee

And crown thy good with

Brotherhood

From see to shining sea!

Whose stern, impassioned stress

A thoroughfare for freedom beat

Across the wilderness!

God mend thine every flaw,

Confirm thy soul in self – control,

Thy liberty in law!

The national anthem of America

O beautiful for heroes proved

in liberating strife,

Who more than self their

And mercy more than life!

America! America!

May God thy gold refine

Till all success be nobleness

And every gain divine!

O beautiful for patriot dream

That sees beyond the years

Thine alabaster cities gleam

Undimmed by human tears!

America! America!
