Van een agrarisch land bestaande uit los met elkaar verbonden deelstaten zijn de Verenigde Staten sinds de Tweede Wereldoorlog het rijkste en machtigste land ter wereld geworden.
De opkomst van de Verenigde Staten als wereldmacht begon in het midden van de 19e eeuw met de expansie naar het westen toe en na de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog werd deze uitbreiding in volle vaart doorgezet. De instroom van ontelbare immigranten voedde ook de economische expansie van het land.

USA: Rights & Liberties. To My Old Master. In 1864, after 32 long years in the service of his master, Jourdon Anderson and his wife, Amanda, escaped a life of slavery when Union Army soldiers freed them from the plantation on which they had been working so tirelessly.
They grasped the opportunity with vigour, quickly moved to Ohio where Jourdon could find paid work with which to support his growing family, and didn’t look back. Then, a year later, shortly after the end of the Civil War, Jourdon received a desperate letter from Patrick Henry Anderson, the man who used to own him, in which he was asked to return to work on the plantation and rescue his ailing business. Jourdon’s reply to the person who enslaved his family, dictated from his home on August 7th, is everything you could wish for, and quite rightly was subsequently reprinted in numerous newspapers. Jourdon Anderson never returned to Big Spring, Tennessee. He passed away in 1907, aged 81, and is buried alongside his wife who died six years later.

Do you know how many natural gas wells are operating in your state or near the watershed that supplies your drinking water?
You should. Most of those wells rely on a process known as hydraulic fracturing (or natural gas fracking) that employs toxic chemicals to crack open shale beds and release methane gas.
