The Miss America pageant started in 1921 by Atlantic City to try to extend the tourist season beyond the Labor Day weekend and is now the longest running pageant. It is also the largest provider of scholarship funds for women in the world. It is judged on academics, physical fitness, talent and community service. The only prizes that Miss America wins is scholarship money for school. Although she does have all of her traveling expenses paid for.
The Miss USA & Miss Universe pageants were started in 1952 as a promotional tool for Catilina Swimsuits. The Miss USA pageant is mostly based on looks, modeling, and physical fitness. The prizes you win in the Miss USA pageant consist of jewelry, cash, cars, clothes, make-up, apartment in NYC...stuff like that. Miss USA goes on to compete in the Miss Universe pageant.

It includes different parts of North America, the events, and I think the age that I'm not sure of but the rest is right. What's what is still a mystery to me too.

Well, Miss America is the real name, however, people dont feel like writing that on the lilttle banner thingy, so they just write U.S.A.
(much easier)
Also, some people get confused that "America" can be All of north America, central America, Or South America

Good question. I have no idea whatsoever. They pretty much sound like the same exact thing.
