Transcript:

Starting from this and reaching... this in less than 200 years. How?
In 1776, with the Declaration of Independence, 13 American colonies declared independence from British rule.
After independence was formally recognized in 1783 with the Treaty of Paris, America began expanding rapidly. The treaty extended its territory to the Mississippi River. In 1803, the Louisiana Purchase doubled the nation’s size, stretching its reach to the Rocky Mountains. Florida was added in 1819 via the Adams-Onís Treaty. Texas joined the Union in 1845, sparking the Mexican-American War, which ended in 1848 and granted the U.S. much of the present-day Southwest. The Oregon Trail and the 1846 Oregon Treaty secured the Pacific Northwest. The Gadsden Purchase (1853) added land in southern Arizona and New Mexico. Alaska was purchased from Russia in 1867, and Hawaii was annexed in 1898, completing America’s growth into a continental and Pacific power.
