US State Histories: Overview

Historic Facts and Overview of the US

History began with written records. To understand the past, historians read documents left behind by earlier people. Of course, people existed before written records. According to scholars, these people are "prehistoric." "Prehistoric" simply means before written records.

History began at various times for the different people that make up the world's population, as not all people developed writing at the same time.

The United States of America has over 200 years of history, relatively short compared to other countries and nations. However, the United States has a rich and proud history that has experienced much. From Independence to the Civil War to the World Wars to the Cold War, we have a lot of things to tell and things to be proud of.

US History
US History Guide
Understanding history is empowering. An incident is but the furthest ripple of an ever-expanding wave that may have started eddying outward hundreds of years ago. One who has "insight" in history is able to harness the power of that wave's entire journey.

United States of America has an early history beginning sometime prior to 15,000 years ago, as well as the past 200 years or so of rich and proud history, which is relatively short compared to other countries and nations. From Independence to the Civil War to the World Wars to the Cold War, we have a lot of things to tell and things to be proud of.
