United States of America

The United States of America was a political entity on the North American continent on Earth. Established in 1776 by declaration of thirteen states, it eventually grew, by 2271, to include 52 states.

During the American Revolution, the Articles of Confederation was established as the governing document of the United States. Following the war, the weaknesses of a government structured on the Articles became apparent, and the Constitution of the United States of America was approved in 1787. The Constitution quickly became one of the most important documents in human history. Later governments - such as the Terran Federation - based their governing documents on the United States Constitution.

In the mid 19th century, 11 southern states broke away from the Union for several years, and formed the Confederate States of America over disagreements over states rights. From 1861 to 1865 the two nations engaged in a conflict which would come to be known as the American Civil War. The war ended in a northern victory, and the former Confederate states all eventually rejoined the Union. The war was a key event in the ending of slavery and oppression on Earth.

During the Great Collapse, events afterward led to the Second American Civil War. In which four factions waged war across the land.
