The History of Us

​This country didn’t begin in perfect unity. It began in pursuit of it.

​

America started as a divide—from England, from the monarchy, from oppression. But our revolution wasn’t just a rejection of something old—it was a collective leap toward something better.

​

Thirteen colonies, each with its own priorities, accents, and beliefs, made a daring choice: To stand together.

​

From that moment on, the American story has never been about agreeing on everything. It’s been about coming back to the table. Fighting for ideals bigger than ourselves.

And building unity—not as a given, but as a goal. We’ve seen it in our greatest chapters:

​

• When we stood as one during World War II.

• When we marched for civil rights together—Black, white, young, old.

• When we landed on the moon, powered by American minds from all walks of life.

• When we held each other in the days after 9/11.

• When we cracked the code for a life-saving vaccine during a global pandemic.

Unity isn’t automatic. It’s intentional.

And our history shows that we are strongest when we choose to act as us. Usmerica isn’t about pretending we’ve always been united. It’s about daring to believe we still can be.
