All of the students call her Mrs. Santos, she’s been in the industry of supervising and teaching children and young adults to sing for decades.

They called it the new beginning, despite Natives already occupying the land. People from Europe hoped to move into the colonies in the Americas for religious freedom and to better their lives through promises of more land, property, and profitability. However, the settlers’ ignorance of the land and its environment

How did America become America? The North America that is here today went through a struggle to get where it is now. Exploration, expansion, fighting, and purchases were slowly piecing America together. America up north started our first and carried the upper class people who were in need of something new; the south was the hotspot for all the slaves and low lives that just farmed for Europe; and the west came to be by a population boom that needed to be resolved, and people just going out to explore
