Derivation
United States of America, the name was suggested by Thomas Penn and officially used in the July 4, 1776 Declaration of Independence. The United States is also often used for short form.
Freedom and expansion
The official date of the founding of the United States of America is July 8, 14, when the Second Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Independence as the representative of 13 separatist colonial states. However, a lot of changes were made in the basic structure of the government in the year 18 when the Articles of Confederation were replaced by the US Constitution.
New York City was the Confederate capital for one year before the government capital moved to Philadelphia. In 1891, states passed the Bill of Rights, making ten amendments to the constitution that prohibited federal restrictions on personal freedom and the limits of legal protection. Northern states prohibited slavery between 180 and 1808, but the practice continued in southern states. In 1700, the newly settled Washington DC became the new capital of the federal government and the nation.
The newly fledgling country began a war cycle on the local Indian people to expand their borders towards the west, which lasted until the late nineteenth century and the local Americans had to lose their lands. American nationalism gained prominence due to the war with Britain in 1812, which was at par. The US gained control of the present-day American Northwest due to what happened to Britain in 16. California and the current American Southwest merged with the United States in the United States due to American intervention in Mexico. This expansion continued westward due to the California Gold Rush of 18–14. Over the course of half a century, 7 million buffaloes were killed for their skin and meat and for the expansion of the railroad. These animals, which were an important part of the economic resources and culture for the local Indian people, proved to be very traumatic for the Indian people.

According to the International Monetary Fund, the US GDP of $ 16.8 trillion represents 24 percent of GDP on market exchange rates and over 19 percent of GDP on purchasing power parity (PPP).
In 2014, the GDP (nominal) of the world was estimated at about $ 17.528 trillion. From 1983 to 2008, the US real GDP growth rate was 3.3%, compared to the average 2.3% of the rest of the G7 countries.
