South America, Mexico, and Canada are also part of America, and are equally free - in their own way. However, the USA was the first free country in history, and other countries adopted our example. I say 'our', since I live here. I might as well tell the good parts of the story, and leave out the rotten, boring parts. So, here goes. A long time ago, on an island far, far away, there was a man named Amerigo Vess- O-kay. Maybe that's a bit TOO far back. Once there was a group of people who were chosen from the ORIGINAL COLONIES, of which there were thirteen. These people joined an originezation called CONGRESS. One of these people was a man called JOHN ADAMS. I can relate to this guy, since history books and a few movies suggest that he was obnoxious. I myself am obnoxious. But you didn't need to know that. Adams was really going after the freedom thing, and would do anything to get there. Most people say he wished to be the king of this new land. He sort of achieved this when he became president. Anyway, King George, the king of England back then, was making real trouble for the Americans, and the Congress came to a desicion. See, these guys couldn't decied on anything. So they got Thomas Jefferson to write the Declaration of Independance. It simply states what we belive in, and what we want. The poor peice of paper went through a lot of battering and stuff, and FINALLY, they decied to vote on the issue of independance. And they won. And guess who won the war? They won.
