	The USA today is called a "nation of immigrants." This a phrase was popularized by [[John F.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"'' was written by the ~~Jewess~~ [[Emma Lazarus]] back in [[1883]].

The '''United States of America''' is a [[federalism|federal]] [[constitutional republic]] comprising [[U.S. state|fifty states]] and a [[Capital districts and territories|federal district]]. The country is situated mostly in central [[North America]], where its [[Continental United States|forty-eight contiguous states]] and [[Washington, D.C.]], the capital district, lie between the [[Pacific Ocean|Pacific]] and [[Atlantic Ocean]]s, bordered by [[Canada]] to the [[Canada–United States border|north]] and [[Mexico]] to the [[United States–Mexico border|south]]. The state of [[Alaska]] is in the northwest of the continent, with Canada to its east and [[Russia]] to the west across the [[Bering Strait]], and the state of [[Hawaii]] is an [[archipelago]] in the middle of the northern [[Pacific Ocean]]. The United States also possesses [[Territories of the United States|several territories]], or [[insular area]]s, that are scattered around the [[Caribbean]] and Pacific.


At 9.3 million km² and with over 300 million people, the United States is the [[List of countries and outlying territories by total area|third]] largest country by contiguous land in [[America]] (after [[Brazil]] and [[Canada]]), and third largest by land area and by [[List of countries by population|population]].

==History==
The nation was founded by [[Thirteen Colonies|thirteen colonies]] of [[Kingdom of Great Britain|Great Britain]] located along the [[Atlantic]] coast of [[North America]]. The first American citizens were individuals of [[European]] descent: [[English American|
English]], [[Scots-Irish American|Scottish]], [[German American|German]], [[Dutch]], and [[Scandinavian]]. In response to what they viewed as abusive treatment from [[British monarchy|the Crown]], they [[United States Declaration of Independence|declared independence]] from Great Britain on [[July 4]], [[1776]], and subsequently defeated Britain in the [[American Revolutionary War]], the first successful [[History of colonialism|colonial war of independence]].<ref>Dull, Jonathan R. (2003). "Diplomacy of the Revolution, to 1783," p. 352, chap. in ''A Companion to the American Revolution'', ed. Jack P. Greene and J. R. Pole. Maiden, Mass.: Blackwell, pp. 352–361. ISBN 1405116749.</ref> A [[Philadelphia Convention|federal convention]] adopted the current [[United States Constitution]] on September 17, [[1787]]; its ratification the following year made the states part of a single federal republic. The [[United States Bill of Rights|Bill of Rights]], comprising ten [[List of amendments to the United States Constitution|constitutional amendments]], was ratified in 1791.

In the nineteenth century, the United States acquired land from [[France]], [[Spain]], [[Mexico]], and [[Russia]], and annexed the [[Republic of Texas]] and the [[Republic of Hawaii]]. Disputes between the [[Southern United States|agrarian South]] and [[Northern United States|industrial North]] over [[states' rights]] and the expansion of the [[slavery in the United States|institution of slavery]] provoked the [[American Civil War]] of the 1860s. The North's victory prevented a permanent split of the country and led to the [[Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|end of slavery]] in the United States.

==Demographics==
[[File:Degenerate USA in the 21st century.jpg|thumb|280px|[[BLM]] and [[Antifa]] [[terror]]]]
[[Whites]] account for under half the births in the USA.<ref>http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/17/us/whites-account-for-under-half-of-births-in-us.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0</ref> and in a few years will no longer be the majority.<ref>http://money.cnn.com/2013/05/15/news/economy/minority-majority/index.html</ref> By 2043, it's expected that whites throughout the USA will be a minority.<ref>http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57558742/census-whites-no-longer-a-majority-in-u.s-by-2043/</ref>

In many large cities in the USA, whites already have become minorities such as [[Tucson]], [[Denver]], [[Phoenix]], and so on.<ref>http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Latinos-are-flocking-to-biggest-cities-Whites-2490442.php</ref>

Because of [[illegal immigration]], whites are no longer the majority in California. [[Hispanics]] became the majority in 2014.<ref>http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57566998/hispanics-predicted-to-become-majority-in-california-in-2014/</ref><ref>http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2013/01/californias-hispanics-to-outnumber-whites-by-the-end-of-the-year-2542380.html</ref><ref>http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/whites-no-longer-the-majority-in-california-754328.html</ref><ref>http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/33-871-648-Hispanics-Now-Make-Up-Third-Of-2936788.php</ref> The U.S. government will not control its own borders.

The USA today is called a "nation of immigrants." This a phrase was popularized by [[John F. Kennedy]] who wrote the 1958 book “A Nation of Immigrants” at the request of the [[Anti-Defamation League]].<ref>http://archive.adl.org/immigrants/guide.html "In the Foreword, [ADL Director Abraham] Foxman shares that Kennedy, who was a junior Senator of Massachusetts, accepted ADL’s request to write this essay, and A Nation of Immigrants was published in 1958."</ref> The phrase “melting pot” was coined by the [[Jew]] Israel Zangwill in a 1905 play, ''The Melting Pot''. The poem ''The New Colossus'' on the Statue of Liberty with, ''"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"'' was written by the Jewess [[Emma Lazarus]] back in [[1883]].

===Evian===
The [[Évian Conference]] was convened 6–15 July 1938 at Évian-les-Bains, in [[France]], to address the problem of Jewish refugees from Europe. It was the initiative of United States President [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt|Franklin D. Roosevelt]] who hoped to obtain commitments from some of the invited nations to accept more Jews. Historians have suggested that Roosevelt desired to deflect attention and criticism from official American policy that severely limited the quota of Jewish refugees admitted to the United States.<ref name="Wells2009">{{cite book|author=Allen Wells|title=''Tropical Zion : General Trujillo, FDR, and the Jews of Sosua''|year=2009|publisher=Duke University Press|isbn=978-0-8223-4407-0|pages=6–8}}</ref> The conference was attended by representatives from 32 countries, presenting plans either orally or in writing. 24 voluntary organizations also attended as observers, one of whom was the Jewish [[Golda Meir]] from [[Palestine]]. Some 200 international journalists gathered at Évian to observe and report on the meeting. The [[Soviet Union]] refused to take part in the conference. The delegations from the 32 participating nations failed to come to any agreement. The conference therefore proved to be a useful propaganda tool for the German government which was engaged in actively promoting Jewish emigration.

===Current===
Since [[2014]], based on a nationwide average of all schools together, [[demographic genocide|white students are now a minority in US schools]].<ref>http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_BACK_TO_SCHOOL_MAJORITY_MINORITY_ABRIDGED?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2014-08-09-13-51-17</ref>

==Language==

The [[English language]] is the official language of at least 28 states. Some sources give a higher figure, based on differing definitions of "official". English and [[Hawaiian language|Hawaiian]] are both official languages in the state of Hawaii. English is the ''de facto'' language of American government and the sole language spoken at home by 80% of Americans age five and older. Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language. Whether the United States or the [[People's Republic of China]] is larger is [[List of countries and outlying territories by total area|disputed]]. The figure given is from the U.S. [[Central Intelligence Agency]]'s ''World Factbook''. Other sources give smaller figures.

All authoritative calculations of the country's size include only the 50 states and the District of Columbia, not the territories. The population estimate includes people whose usual residence is in the fifty states and the District of Columbia, including noncitizens. It does not include either those living in the territories, amounting to more than 4 million U.S. citizens (most in [[Puerto Rico]]), or U.S. citizens living outside the United States.
