History of USA
Hello everybody and welcome here today, and thank you for having me here.
My name is Nicolai Gibskov Søderberg I am 17 years old and I am living in Denmark in a town called Viborg. I have a mother a father and a sister, so an ordinary family.
I am here today to tell you things about USA or America. I am going to talk about by who it was discovered, something about the history of the country and a bit of the language.
I know when I say I am going to talk about the language, many of you is thinking, “is the language we are talking here in England and the language they are talking in USA not the same?” And I understand why you are thinking like that, be course it is closely to the same language. But there are “Worlds of English” and now I am going to talk about some of the differences between the English you all here today is talking and the English or American that they are talking in USA or America. As you probably know there is a big difference in the dialects. There is also a difference in the way some words is spelled. Like freeway and motorway is the same. All of you here today would say motorway right? But in USA they will say freeway. An other example is to words that means the same but not is closely to each other like: cab and taxi, and like that there also is elevator and lift.
All this differences in the languages is coming from earlier in the history of these two countries. America was earlier a British colony, and after America in 1776 gained their independence, and as a new nation they thought they should have their own language.
They actually got their independence on the 4 July 1776. That day is a national day in USA called Independence Day. After that day The USA was born, from 13 British colonies in North America.
In 1861 to 1865 there where a civil war in USA between the North and the South states. The war had its roots in the problem about slavery. The North states also called the union leaded by Abraham Lincoln
