Indeed, although the scientific community remains divided about the precise date, most authorities agree that Native Americans arrived in North America more than 30,000 years ago, thereby

The country's history consists of some compelling transformations with one of these significant accounts being the battle between Americans and Americans in the final period of the Civil War. In its initial years, the United States was politically isolated from the rest of the world
