America's [[free market]] economy grew rapidly, becoming the largest in the world by the late 1800s, and gaining global influence. [[New York City]] became the largest city in the world at that time. Between 1791 and 1959, 37 new states were added to the original 13 as the nation expanded across the North American continent and acquired a number of overseas possessions. After defeating the Soviet Union in the [[Cold War]], the U.S. emerged as the world's only [[superpower]], having the world's largest economy and the world's most powerful military. It exerts enormous cultural and intellectual influence worldwide, and in return is the target of the enemies of democracy and [[capitalism]], especially [[China]], who became a superpower in 2020 after creating the [[CCP virus]]. [[China]] is now leading the cause against America, and now it has more than three-fourths of U.S. GDP and over triple the Japanese GDP, which is the third-largest economy.

The thirteen original colonies began organizing shadow governments, called "Committees of Correspondence," which prepared the Americans for the day "patriots" (or "Whigs," as they called themselves) could assume all functions of local government. That day came when the British sent troops from Boston to seize gunpowder in attempt to dismantle a potential revolt, and the American patriots gathered there to defend their liberty. These patriots were known as the American "Minute men," a well trained militia, and had planned for this day at Lexington and Concord. When the militia clashed with the elite British troops they soundly defeated them, prompting an historic backlash from Britain. The American Revolution had begun.
