Introductory
The United States of America has a lot of history for
only being in existence for a little over 240 years, yet
with the small introductory we hope you can find the
time and interest to expand your knowledge of this
great nation.
It started when Britain's American colonies broke with
the mother country in 1776. It was eventually
recognized as the new nation of the United States of
America following the Treaty of Paris in 1783. During
the 19th and 20th centuries, 37 new states were added
to the original 13 as the nation expanded across the
North American continent and acquired a number of
overseas possessions. The two most traumatic
experiences in the nation's history were the Civil War
(1861-65), in which a northern Union of states defeated
a secessionist Confederacy of 11 southern slave states,
and the Great Depression of the 1930s, an economic
downturn during which about a quarter of the labor
force lost its jobs. Buoyed by victories in World Wars I
and II and the end of the Cold War in 1991, the US
remains one of the world's most powerful nation-state.
Since the end of World War II, the economy has
achieved relatively steady growth, low unemployment
and inflation, and rapid advances in technology.
America also has a diverse culture that shares a
passion of various ideologies that can be found strewn
throughout the country. There is practically every
nationality that has immigrated to the nation in hopes

for a better life. The majority of the people learn English
and use it as a communication amongst everyone that
lives in the country. The second most spoken language
is Spanish.
The land is very diverse. You have mountains, plains,
deserts, tropics, and more. The highest point in the US
is Denali (formerly named Mount McKinley) at over
20,000 feet. The lowest point in the US is Death Valley
located in Eastern California, which is at 282 feet below
sea level. The United States of America is one of the
biggest countries in size of land but also in population,
which is over 300 million people. You can drive from
the Atlantic coast all the way to the Pacific coast if
desired and you can experience 6-time zones with it!
Because of its diverse migration throughout the years
of its existence, there is a lot of different foods to enjoy.
Hamburgers, hot dogs, chili, grilled steaks, apple pies,
pumpkin pies, pancakes, pizzas, and more are enjoyed
throughout the country. If you look deep into their
origins, you will see that they originally come from
other countries.
There are a lot of famous and important people that
have helped changed the world for better. Such people
include Martin Luther King Junior, Cesar Chavez, and
Susan B. Anthony. There are thousands of pages of
history on America that can be researched. There is
equally over thousands of miles of beautiful and
breathtaking land to explore and hundreds of cities full
of culture to experience. America is a fascinating
country that will keep you entertained.

About the Flag
The American flag. As you can see, the flag has 13 equal
horizontal stripes of red and white. There is a blue
rectangle in the upper hoist-side corner bearing 50
small, white, five-pointed stars arranged in nine offset
horizontal rows of six stars (top and bottom) alternating
with rows of five stars. The 50 stars represent the 50
states of the United States of America. The 13 stripes
represent the 13 original colonies. The blue color on the
flag stands for loyalty, devotion, truth, justice, and
friendship. The red color on the flag symbolizes
courage, zeal, and fervency, while white denotes purity
and rectitude of conduct; commonly referred to by its
nickname of Old Glory.
The design and colors have been the basis for some
other flags, including Chile, Liberia, Malaysia, and
Puerto Rico.

Looking at the magnificent mountain, you can’t help

becomes night.
“We have been walking the entire day,” you mention.
“Yes, it was a good walk,” your partner replies.

mountain.

wonder.
“What is so funny?” you ask.
“Oh, I was thinking of a silly joke,” he replies.
“Go ahead tell me. I could use a joke right about now,”
you reply.
He begins:
Three men visit the mountain of wishes where, if you jump
off and say your wish you'll get it.
So, the first guy jumps and says I want to be famous,
POOF he's famous.
The second guy jumps and says I want to be rich, POOF
he's a trillionaire.
Finally, the third guy goes trips over a stick and screams
CRAP!
As he hits the bottom, he lands in a pile of crap.
You begin to laugh with your partner.
“Well don’t think about jumping now okay! We need to keep
climbing!” you say, as the snow begins to pick up.

You almost slip, but your partner who is attached to
you with rope holds you up.
“Don’t worry! I got you! Just grab hold of the nearest
ledge if you can!” he screams.
You swing towards the cliff with much effort.
Fortunately, with a rope attached to you, you didn’t fall

together with your partner. Above is a cliff covering over and
it helps block the severe winds. You take a break and take
out some rations to share it with your partner. Your legs are
hurting, your hands are scuffed up, and you have a bruise
on your thigh from always falling to your death earlier. Your
partner is trying to keep his body warm. It is significantly
colder. Perhaps it is even hitting 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

15
Your partner throws a rope with grapple upwards towards
the angled cliff hoping to find a crack or crease that the
hook can attach to. After many attempts, the hook finds its
target. With sturdy pulls it shows it will hold.
“I will climb first, and then you will follow,” he says.
He climbs carefully up the rope. You shake your head. Only
crazy people like us will try to climb at a few thousand feet
upwards at a cliff that looks like it is about to fall on you.

mountainside and the lands beyond. The winds are high, yet
the snow is at a minimum. You are lucky to have put on an
additional layer of clothing on you on this day. It is freezing.

17
Your partner is just as determined as you to find the top of
this mountain. The day becomes night, and you manage to
rest a little by stopping the climb. Unfortunately, there is no
cave or opening to sleep on. You both stand on a cliffside
straight up to rest for a little while. You hope no avalanche
will claim your life today.

followed by lightning. Oh great, now a significant
thunderstorm is coming to us you think to yourself.
“Let us keep climbing. Maybe we will find some shelter
somehow, or we will be stuck in a middle of the storm,”
you say.
Your partner nods his head and continues with the
climb.

Fortunately, the thunderstorm went a different
direction and wasn’t a direct hit to you.
You remember reading that around 58% of climbers
reach the top. The vast majority of climbers use the
West Buttress Route, which you are also applying. It
takes about two to four weeks to ascend Denali. You
feel you might beat that record by a few days. You are
a bit tired. The right term would be exhausted, yet you
have no time to slow down. It is a matter of
determination at this point. There is no time for turning
back. You urge your partner to keep climbing.
What is the national symbol of the United States of
America?

B. Turkey, turn to 113.
C. Bald Eagle, turn to 158.

E. Cut the answers in half, turn to 24.

20
You can see from a distance a weather station. Through your
research, you know that it was installed in 2002 to record
temperatures. You remember reading that the weather
station recorded a temperature of −75.5 °F on December 1,
2003. Just the thought of such below freezing temperatures
gives chills up your spine.
Denali is at 20,310 feet, and you might be one of the lucky
few to have climbed it at such a height! It is, after all, one of
the tallest mountains in the world. You can’t imagine how
the view will be when you reach the top.
Will you and your partner reach the top? Find out after
answering this last trivia question!

Quotes about U.S.A.
My dream is that as the years go on... that America will come
into the full light of the day when all shall know that she
puts human rights above all other rights and that her flag is
the flag not only of America but of humanity. What other
great people has devoted itself to this exalted ideal?
~Woodrow Wilson, Presidential Address at Independence
Hall, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1914 July 4 th
When an American says that he loves his country, he means
not only that he loves the New England hills, the prairies
glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains, the great
mountains, and the sea. He means that he loves an inner
air, an inner light in which freedom lives and in which a man
can draw the breath of self-respect. ~Adlai Stevenson
“Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I
especially, are descended from immigrants and
revolutionists.”
― Franklin D. Roosevelt
“America is the greatest engine of innovation that has ever
existed, and it can't be duplicated anytime soon, because it
is the product of a multitude of factors: extreme freedom of
thought, an emphasis on independent thinking, a steady
immigration of new minds, a risk-taking culture with no
stigma attached to trying and failing, a noncorrupt
bureaucracy, and financial markets and a venture capital
system that are unrivaled at taking new ideas and turning
them into global products.”
― Thomas L. Friedman
