Return to AlAska

The country was first settled by the English in the 1600s. It remained a British colony until July 4, 1776. Later, the colonies declared independence, and the independence was firstly stated in a document that was written by Thomas Jefferson of Kingdom of Great Britain and thus, the foundation of United States of America was laid.

On September 9, 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted the new name UNITED STATES OF AMERICA for what had been called the "United Colonies.” The name United States of America has remained since then as a symbol of freedom and independence.
