America was referred to as Continental Congress by the residents in 1776; the name was selected rather than United Colonies, regularly used relevance to American History. The country was also known as Turtle Island name referred to North America; the Turtle Island was mainly used by indigenous people of the US. Initially, before the US gained independence in 1776, the country was never stable socially, and economically and government systems were never well structured (Horne & Gerald, 2008). Europeans had inhabited the US from 1600 and monitored major sectors to their benefit. However, the hired slaves experienced skilled persons, and developed infrastructure enhanced the US's advancement immediately after independence to a more powerful state than its colonial competitors like Spain and France.

The US settlers involved religious groups, farmers, merchants, adventures, indentured servants, and some aristocratic members of high social classes. The diverse origins and cultures boosted American culture since mixed origin people interacted and acquired specific values from each other. Residents accepted communal living regardless of religious differences, cultural practices, and social status. After independence, the US structured the administrative structures by formulating a constitution and utilizing already settled persons to enhance economic advancement; these incorporated slaves in plantations and later replaced human labor with machines since the nation opposed slavery (Berkowitz et al., 184). New American systems never pleased people especially in competing countries like Europe. The US opposed slavery by all means, which was the primary source of labor in Europe.
