The United States

The Land and Its People.

The story of the United States is a tale of change and growth. After 350 years of development, the nation is still changing swiftly. The American people view nothing as complete or permanent as long as it can be unproved. Their search for new and better ways of doing things goes on and on.

An Ever-Changing Land. Growth changes the look and purpose of one area after another. A new product is invented, and the people build huge factories to manufacture it. Houses, schools, churches, and stores spring up in a new suburban town to serve the workers. Towns become cities. Cities spread and join to make trading and industrial centers known as metropolitan areas. These centers in turn may grow together into one huge urban cluster stretching from state to state/ such a cluster has been called a “mega polis” or an “interurban”.

Yet, city growth brings problems too – problems of transportation, housing, education, neighborhood decay, slum clearance, and other serious problems.

In another place the people build an irrigation project and change a desert into farms and orchards. Farming section populations, as machines take over men’s work or worn land, is changed into pasture or “tree farms”.

The United States grew one fifth in area when Alaska and Hawaii entered the Union. Alaska contributed a broad land and great resources – both requiring development. Hawaii added a cluster of lush and productive tropical islands.
