North American history

North American history and prehistory are a major motivation for travel on this continent. Though written records here do not go back nearly as far as in the "Old Word", with the help of archaeology and other evidence we are able to know much about lifestyles of the indigenous cultures of North America thousands of years back. Once the Mayans began to use writing, and even more so after the Europeans arrived, there is a continuous historical in most of the continent for more than five centuries. During this time colonies were claimed, cities founded, wars fought, revolutions declared, railways laid, migrants settled, and factories built.

Pioneer villages are an important part of both Canadian and U.S. history. Other important part of U.S. history include the American Civil War and indigenous heritage such as New Mexico Pueblos and Ohio prehistoric sites.
