Overview

The United States' boundaries have expanded over the centuries—and at the same time, Americans' ideas about their country have grown as well. The nation the world knows today was shaped by centuries of thinkers and events. People like Thomas Paine, George Washington, James Madison, and Thomas Jefferson built the foundation of values and ideals on which America still stands. Learning about America's birth will help you understand the country it is today.
