USA Part 2

the united US

Americans are all different. Which is what makes
this such
a special place – people from all over the
world have chosen
to live here, sharing their food,
music, stories, and traditions.
There really is a whole
world right outside our door.

This year, we're getting to know our neighbors
across the
country, celebrating the creative spirit
that unites us all.

   The Tlingit of the Northwest Coast and Alaska

   one of only six tribes that invented totem
   poles, using
   them as markers of welcome,
   warning and memory.

2. 2

   Completed in 1869, the Transcontinental
   Railroad made

   San Francisco was $65, equal
   to $1,192.65 today.

   Elsie, Michigan is home to the country's largest
   registered

   Pizza first officially appeared in America in 1905,

   government for
   the first license to make and sell
   pizza at his grocery
   store in Manhattan's Little Italy.
