Why U.S. exist ?

In a more than interesting site nationalreview.com , Charles Cooke columnist wonders whether it was more appropriate to place the United States today 50 states have been fully independent as Europe today . Cooke remembers how his father responded to criticism of British tell him not hate America ( referring to the U.S.). At that Cooke 's father replied, " What part of America do not like ? "

And here was very much justice , because in some U.S. states there are so many differences, that does not mean that it would be about the same " American nation " . It's like an American would say : "I love Europe " after a bad experience of a trip to Italy. But Europe is only Italy ! ? I read some excerpts from Mr. Cooke 's excellent editorial :   " No other country on the planet has so many names and international influences as the United States. America is named after the Florentine explorer hired by the Portuguese authorities and never had absolutely no impact on history , it is governed by a constitution that was written by the English in the capital called in Greek, of a colony called in Latin ( ... ) California is Spanish , New York has a good part of their names from Greek and Latin name of the Connecticut is Indian , although many of the places here have English names , Louisiana is obviously a French country home and Pennsylvania 's Dutch and German (...) Anyway , America is full of names of Indian origin : what is the state with most musicals ? Ocklahoma . What is the state that has given so far most presidents ? Ohio .

What is Elvis Presley 's home state ? Tennessee . " Same and I wonder : why I had the history of 50 states totally independent and not a giant like the U.S.? For the countries of Central and South America are independent and also formed a federation ( U.S. Spanish ) , since they all have a common culture and language ( Spanish ), except for Brazil ? Maybe if the U.S. would have existed throughout history , perhaps today we would have a better world : there might not be many wars in the world
