<h4>Historic</h4>
<p><strong><a href="https://openlife.ng/">OpenLife Nigeria</a></strong> reports that the Treasury Department in the United States of America is weighing a proposal to issue new $1 coins featuring President Trump.<br />
According to information, this would be part of a push to commemorate the 250th anniversary of America’s founding.</p>
<p>On July 4, 2026, the United States of America will commemorate and celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.</p>
<p>The journey toward this historic milestone is an opportunity for the country to pause and reflect on its nation’s past as well as honor the contributions of all Americans, and look ahead toward the future the leadership wants to create for the next generation and beyond.</p>
<p><strong> History</strong></p>
<p>The land which became the United States was inhabited by Native Americans for tens of thousands of years.<br />
Their descendants include but may not be limited to 574 federally recognized tribes.</p>
<p>The history of the present-day United States began in 1607 with the establishment of Jamestown in modern-day Virginia by settlers who arrived from the Kingdom of England.</p>
<p>In the late 15th century, European colonization began and largely decimated Indigenous societies through wars and epidemics.</p>

<p>By the 1760s, the Thirteen Colonies, then part of British America and the Kingdom of Great Britain, were established.</p>
<p>The Southern Colonies built an agricultural system on slave labor and enslaving millions from Africa. After the British victory over the Kingdom of France in the French and Indian Wars, Parliament imposed a series of taxes and issued the Intolerable Acts on the colonies in 1773, which were designed to end self-governance.</p>
<p>Tensions between the colonies and British authorities subsequently intensified, leading to the Revolutionary War, which commenced with the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. In June 1775, the Second Continental Congress established the Continental Army and unanimously selected George Washington as its commander-in-chief.</p>
<p>The following year, on July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously declared its independence, issuing the Declaration of Independence.</p>
<p>On September 3, 1783, in the Treaty of Paris, the British acknowledged the independence and sovereignty of the Thirteen Colonies, leading to the establishment of the United States.</p>
<p>In the 1788-89 presidential election, Washington was elected the nation&#8217;s first U.S. president.</p>
<p>Along with his Treasury Secretary, Alexander Hamilton, Washington sought to create a relatively stronger central government than that favored by other founders, including Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.</p>
<p>On March 4, 1789, the new nation debated, adopted, and ratified the U.S. Constitution, which is now the oldest and longest-standing written and codified national constitution in the world. In 1791, a Bill of Rights was added to guarantee inalienable rights.</p>
<p>In 1803, Jefferson, then serving as the nation&#8217;s third president, negotiated the Louisiana Purchase, which doubled the size of the country.</p>
<p>Encouraged by available, inexpensive land, and the notion of manifest destiny, the country expanded to the Pacific Coast in a project of settler colonialism marked by a series of conflicts with the continent&#8217;s indigenous inhabitants. Whether or not slavery should be legal in the expanded territories was an issue of national contention.</p>
<p>Following the election of Abraham Lincoln as the nation&#8217;s 16th president in the 1860 presidential election, southern states seceded and formed the pro-slavery Confederate States of America. In April 1861, at the Battle of Fort Sumter, Confederates launched the Civil War.</p>
<p>However, the Union&#8217;s victory at the Battle of Gettysburg, the deadliest battle in American military history with over 50,000 fatalities, proved a turning point in the war, leading to the Union&#8217;s victory in 1865, which preserved the nation.</p>
<p>On April 15, 1865, Lincoln was assassinated. The Confederates&#8217; defeat led to the abolition of slavery.<br />
In the subsequent Reconstruction era from 1865 to 1877, the national government gained explicit duty to protect individual rights.</p>
<p>In 1877, white southern Democrats regained political power in the South, often using paramilitary suppression of voting and <a href="https://www.vanguardngr.com/">Jim Crow l</a>aws to maintain white supremacy.</p>
<p>During the Gilded Age from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, the United States emerged as the world&#8217;s leading industrial power, largely due to entrepreneurship, industrialization, and the arrival of millions of immigrant workers.</p>
<p>Dissatisfaction with corruption, inefficiency, and traditional politics stimulated the Progressive movement, leading to reforms, including to the federal income tax, direct election of U.S. Senators, citizenship for many Indigenous people, alcohol prohibition, and women&#8217;s suffrage.</p>
<p>Initially neutral during World War I, the United States declared war on Germany in 1917, joining the successful Allies. After the prosperous Roaring Twenties, the Wall Street crash of 1929 marked the onset of a decade-long global Great Depression.</p>
<p>President Franklin D. Roosevelt launched New Deal programs, including unemployment relief and social security.</p>
<p>Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the United States entered World War II, helping defeat Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy in the European theater and, in the Pacific War, defeating Imperial Japan after using nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.</p>
<p>The war led to the U.S. occupation of Japan and the Allied-occupied Germany.</p>
