A Countries History

Learning the American history was quite interesting.
I wonder how it would of been. If it was never change.
Coming from the caribbean is quite different. 
Our culture and America is not the same.
I never knew  about the life style of slavery and other things
For I am not African, our culture is not related.
Learning about the history of the past at first was shocking
And disturbing, for who knew that's what was going on in a land different from another.
I am glad I did learn as much as I did when I was in school,
For I would of never know how America became what it is
Now.
