Exploring the often-overlooked territories of American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, this book delves into their unique identities and histories. With a population of 4 million, these regions are rich in American culture, yet their status remains ambiguous. The narrative investigates how these territories became part of the United States, their distinct characteristics, and the reasons they have not achieved statehood, shedding light on their significance in the American landscape.
