What?

The capital of USA is Washington D.C, 
in Washington D.C you'll find the Presidents residence, the famous white house.
 But that's not the only famous city in the states, L.A are famous for gambling, partying and loads of fun and New York (The big apple) is famous for fashion, shopping and of course Times Square.
 Why New York is called "The Big Apple" is because John J. Fitz Gerald, a sports writer for the New York Morning Telegraph, wrote about a race around the big apple in the 1920s. In the early 1920s, "apple" was used in reference to the many racing courses in and around New York City. Apple referred to the prizes being awarded for the races as these were important races, the rewards were substantial.

The main language of America is of course English. In Mexico they speak a lot of Spanish as well.
And why is that? It's because the Mexicans derives from South America where the main language is just, Spanish.

The largest religion in the US is Christianity, practised by the majority of the population. (76% in 2008)
