Let Us Read

16 Would you like to know more about life in America? Then read the text and sav why the Americans went west.

THE WILD WEST

I

At the beginning of the 17th century the first colonies appeared in America. Many of them were English colonies, for example, New England. But there were also Spanish and German colonies there. Black Africans arrived as slaves1 in 1619 and began working on plantations situated in the South. They grew rice and tobacco.

There were thirteen colonies in America in 1733. The English King who lived in England, far away, was the King of New England and the other colonies. The colonists in America didn’t like that. They didn’t want to depend on the English King or on England. The Americans began to fight for their independence and got it. George Washington became the first President of the United States.

In the 18th century some Americans went to the west to look for new lands, and the story of the Wild West began. In the 19th century people went west to look for gold. They built new settlements and new towns on these lands.

Life in the Wild West was full of danger. The Native Americans in the west didn’t like white people who took their land. Sometimes they attacked them.

There were bears and other wild animals and people had to have guns. Today many Americans still keep a gun in their houses.
