Manhattan, New York, a city of immigrants - Although it has a short history of only 240 years, the United States has become the world's greatest power! A journey that traces the history of the United States, a country that began with immigrants, up to the present. From Boston, an early settlement in New England where many British immigrants settled, to Philadelphia, where the bell of liberty rang with the Declaration of Independence from England. And from Washington D.C., where the foundations of the United States are laid and the achievements of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, who laid the foundation for the United States, to New York, a city of world culture and art created by immigrants, let’s go on a journey through American history with civilization traveler Song Dong-hoon! ■ (1) Part 1. Boston, where American history begins The beginning of the United States, a country of freedom and democracy, began with the immigration of Europeans. Plymouth, Massachusetts, along with Jamestown, Virginia, was one of the first settlements of the British, and due to its deep historical significance, many people still visit today. We begin our journey through American history by seeing Plymouth Rock, the rock said to be where the Pilgrim Fathers, the Puritans who immigrated to the United States on the Mayflower in search of religious freedom, first stepped upon when they landed. After seeing Plymouth Rock, we moved to Brattleboro, Vermont, a city famous for its maple syrup production. Maple syrup, which provided energy and nutrients to the natives, was also an important source of sugar for early immigrants. We visited a maple syrup farm in Brattleboro and learned about the process of collecting sap from trees and making maple syrup from the sap. Then, we went to Salem, a city famous for the 17th-century witch trials, to reflect on the sad history of the Puritan society, the early settlers of the American continent, and then headed to Boston, a city of history. Here, we walked the Freedom Trail, which connects historical sites in the United States, and talked about the history of America’s struggle for freedom and independence at a museum that recreates the ship from the Boston Tea Party, which was the fuse for the American Revolution. Finally, we visit the John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site, the birthplace of Boston's most famous figure, President John F. Kennedy, and think again about the power that allowed the United States to become the world power it is today. ■ Part 2. Philadelphia in the name of freedom and tolerance Philadelphia, a city whose name means "brotherhood" in Greek. The first thing that catches your eye on the streets here are the buildings decorated with huge murals. Philadelphia, a city with a developed culture and arts scene, is home to many art spaces, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Among them, graffiti, a form of black hip-hop culture, has been transformed into mural art on South Street, a densely populated area of ​​blacks. Philadelphia, as its name suggests, is a place where black culture and various immigrant cultures coexist. The famous Philly Cheesesteak here is also a dish that was started by immigrants from Italy. When you go to Philadelphia, you must try the huge Philly cheese steak, and then head to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which is just as famous as the food itself. This is one of the representative art museums in the United States, but it is actually better known to people as the training course for the main character of the movie 'Rocky', which shows the typical 'American dream'. Thanks to this, the 'Rocky' statue in front of the museum is still crowded with people trying to take commemorative photos. Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia has Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was announced in 1776, and the 'Liberty Bell' that rang at that time. Independence Hall, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has well-preserved the conference room where Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Supreme Court where the founding fathers of the United States created the Constitution after independence, allowing you to vividly see the history of American independence. The next journey is to Colonial Williamsburg and Yorktown in Virginia, looking back on the colonial streets and appearances of the 17th and 18th centuries and the battlefields of the Revolution that ended the colonial era, thereby looking back on the historical significance of American independence. ■ (3) Part 3.
