The US is large in size (9363123 square km) ,which caused its diversity in natural environment .There are 4 topography regions, the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain, the Appalachians and their foothills, the Interior Lowland drained by the Mississippi River that divide the East and West ,and the Cordillera. Resulting from its large size, the climate is also diverse; it’s humid in the East and Pacific coast, and arid in the West. There is a transition between the east and west, where there is the richest agricultural area. At present, the US is divided into four regions: Northeast, South, Midwest and West. The four parts share distinct lifestyles.

The US was built, settled, and developed by immigrants. So it was a nation of immigration. In history, the immigrants were divided into early, old and new immigrants. The first settlers were European known as the white .The British indeed the German. For a long time the Africa Americans were treated unequally, even after the abolishment of slavery, they were still suffered discrimination. The same with the Latinos, they faced hostility because of their illegal immigrants. Immigrants from Asian were most Chinese who once went there as workers, and viewed as the "model minority. Even though, America is so rich, the Native Americans are still live in poor for their isolation.
