Hello, how is everyone on this Monday morning, well it is Monday morning here. This week in our series on countries we have the good old U S A.
The USA is a large country with 50 states, it is mostly situated in North America with the capital being Washington D.C. It lies between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and borders Canada to the north and Mexico to the south.
Its largest state is Alaska but it’s also the least populated state, it was purchased from Russia in 1867 for 7.2 million dollars. The smallest state is Rhode Island.
The first state was Delaware which dates back to 1787, with Hawaii being the last state dating from 1959.
Before 1776 the country was known as the United Colonies. It gained independence from the United Kingdom on 4 July 1776.
The flag has 13 stripes on it representing the first 13 colonies and 50 stars for the 50 states, it has been around since 1777, when on the 14 June it was adopted by the Continental Congress as the countries official flag. Before that each colony had its own flag.
The national anthem is Star Spangled Banner since 1931, although it was recognised by the navy in 1888. It was originally called The Defence of Fort McHenry.

Dearest Jo-Anne,
Yep and soon on July 4th it will celebrate another Birthday—its 248th.
May its pride resurface once again as so many young people have been brain washed by the liberal media and liberal colleges.
Hugs,
Mariette
I feel so many of today’s youth don’t put stock in what they consider old fashion stuff like being proud of their country and showing respect for those who gave their lives to make said country a good place to live. They are to focused on how they look, what bloody gender they are trying to be something they are not instead of being proud of who they are.
Such a SAD truth…💔
