Asher gives a very good answer, to which I should like to add a little footnote.

When the US beat Prussian mercenaries, to gain it's independence fron the UK (The uks own troops were tied up in war in Europe), it was only the states of the NEast of the current US that were involved. The vast bulk of the US today was unexplored by western man. Also, Alaska was part of Russia.
