美国历史简介

France eventually claimed much of the North American interior, down to the Gulf of Mexico. The first successful English settlements were the Virginia Colony in Jamestown in 1607 and the Pilgrims' Plymouth Colony in 1620. The 1628 chartering of the Massachusetts Bay Colony resulted in a wave of migration; by 1634, New England had been settled by some 10,000 Puritans. Between the late 1610s and the American Revolution, about 50,000 convicts were shipped to Britain's American colonies. Beginning in 1614, the Dutch settled along the lower Hudson River, including New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island.In 1674, the Dutch ceded their American territory to England; the province of New Netherland was renamed New York. Many new immigrants, especially to the South, were indentured servants—some two-thirds of all Virginia immigrants between 1630 and 1680.By the turn of the 18th century, African slaves were becoming the primary source of bonded labor. With the 1729 division of the Carolinas and the 1732 colonization of Georgia, the thirteen British colonies that would become the United States of America were established.
历史概要

Prior to the seventeenth century, there were only Indians and Eskimos living in the vast country land. However, following a flood of immigration for more than a century, this place had become a new home for many Europeans, in particular, the English who had set up the thirteen colonies. These thirteen colonies declared themselves independent of British rule. Following long periods of negotiations and reforms, the federal system of the United States formally came into being just on the eve of the French revolution. In the early days, the United States welcomed immigrants to settle down. These immigrants also helped her to grow rapidly. In 1776, the population of the United States was just as little as 3 million. Nowadays, it has grown to over 200 million. In the process of the rapid increase of its population, new space have been developed continuously, from the east coast to the west coast. The pioneers who developed these lands not only made their living by farming and raising livestock, they also searched for mines and other resources. By the twentieth century, the United States has not only become a strong global power, it is also an advanced country in terms of science, technology, medicine and military strength.
