Brief History of America
Ancestors of America's indigenous peoples migrated across the Bering land bridge more than 12,000 years ago. Beginning in 1607, British colonization led to the establishment of the Thirteen Colonies in what is now the Eastern American Socialist Commonwealth. In 1775 and 1776, in response to high British Imperial taxes imposed by HM King George III that were generally unpopular, 13 of Britain's American colonies banded together and formed a temporary provisional government known as the United States of America, under command of General George Washington. By 1779, the rebellion had failed and would eventually be known as the Patriot Rebellion of 76'. People like Franklin, Adams, Jefferson, Hancock, Washington, Allen, and Hamilton were all executed by the British government. In 1834, another failed rebellion, this one known as the Jackson Rebellion, was led by General Andrew Jackson in response to the British Empire signing an abolition of the institution of slavery. In 1905, the IWW was formed. In 1906, in response to the Pension Reform Act of 1906, the American Revolution broke out, with the Socialist Commonwealth of America gaining independence under President Eugene Victor Debs.

Government
Americans have traditionally been characterized by a unifying political belief in an "American Socialist creed" emphasizing liberty, equality under the law, communism, social equality, civil rights, and a preference for larger government. America is a Republic and has a Socialist economic system.
Etymology
The first known use of the name "America" dates back to 1507, when it appeared on a world map created by the German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller. On this map, the name applied to the New World in honor of the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci. After returning from his expeditions, Vespucci first postulated that the West Indies did not represent Asia's eastern limit, as initially thought by Christopher Columbus, but instead were part of an entirely separate landmass thus far unknown to the Latin Europeans.
