America has been created from the East to the West. The West is a concept in history, for an American it is often associated with the idea of frontier. In the 19th century St-Louis (Missouri) was considered as the gate way to the West, when people went to the West they went directly to Oregon or California, they did not stop in the plains because they were considered as useless and wasteland so people went through it. It continued until somebody in the 1860s said that these lands would be good for a ranch, therefore people started to settle in this area and they developed this type of activity.
[...] For the black American, the Church with the Social Gospel replaced the State as given as they were never represented by the State. In the 1600s and early 1700s, puritans dominated, and they were fascinating as a group because they were very austere, they didn't dance, they didn't drink all they did was just work, if you wanted to be good with God you worked, this is called the "Puritan work ethic." Puritans considered themselves as the chosen. In the 1730s there is a reaction to this austere and exclusive religion which is called Evangelicalism. [...]
[...] The United States Census Bureau defines four statistical regions with nine subdivisions: The Northeast region, with its 56 million inhabitants, is the nation's most economically developed [HYPERLINK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_development], densely populated [HYPERLINK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_density], and culturally diverse [HYPERLINK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_diversity] region. Geographer Wilbur Zelinsky [HYPERLINK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilbur_Zelinsky] asserts that the region lacks a unified cultural identity but has served as a "culture hearth" for the rest of the nation. Also, the region is divided into two smaller areas: New England and Middle Atlantic. New England is the place where there were the original settlements, and it is also considered as the place where the spirit of the revolution came from. Nowadays, it is now considered as the brain of the US. [...]

[...] These figures are interesting because it shows the return of white people, who used to live in the suburbs, back into the city. The suburbs are now being considered as the poor areas in certain cities such as Los Angeles. The richer and well-educated people tend to have smaller families and their needs are different. They can go easily to live in the inner cities whereas the bigger families need big spaces and so they go to the suburbs. In conclusion, suburbanisation met the needs of a particular period economically and culturally but it's no longer true. [...]
[...] The Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) is an African American civil rights [HYPERLINK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_rights] organisation created by Martin Luther King in January 1957 following the Montgomery bus boycott campaign. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 finally outlaws discrimination based on race, colour, religion, sex or national origin.
