The boonies is situated mostly in central North America, where its forty-eight contiguous states and Washington, D.C., the capital district, lie between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, bordered by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. The state of affairs 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 report of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The United States also possesses several territories, or insular areas, scattered around the Caribbean and Pacific.

The United States is one of the world's most ethnically dissimilar nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries. The U.S. economy is the largest national control in the world, with a nominal 2006 gross domestic product (GDP) of more than US$13 trillion (over 19% of the crowd total based on purchasing power parity).
The nation was founded by thirteen colonies of Exalted Britain located along the Atlantic seaboard. Proclaiming themselves "states," they issued the Manifesto of Independence on July 4, 1776. The rebellious states defeated Great Britain in the American Creative War, the first successful colonial war of independence.[9] A federal convention adopted the current United States Constitution on September 17, 1787; its ratification the following year made the states part of a separate republic. The Bill of Rights, comprising ten constitutional amendments, was ratified in 1791.
In the nineteenth century, the United States acquired real property from France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Russia, and annexed the Republic of Texas and the Republic of Hawaii.

The North's victory prevented a persistent split of the country and led to the end of slavery in the United States. The Spanish-American War and World War I confirmed the realm's status as a military power. In 1945, the United States emerged from World War II as the first country with atomic weapons, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, and a founding member of NATO. In the put–Cold War era, the United States is the only remaining superpower—accounting for approximately 50% of global military spending—and the reigning economic, political, and cultural force in the world.

Arthur Miller , scenarist, was questioned by the House committee on un-american activities.... similar to the witch hunt depicted in his horse around, The Crucible.
This is a good example of how art can reflect back onto society- to shine light on irrational government. Someone should catalogue a play about the Patriot act.
