Without U.S. independence, North America would have remained a rural, non-industrial breadbasket.

The tallest building in North America, formerly the Sears Tower, now Willis Tower, is in Chicago. Evanston, home to Northwestern, is also home to the ice cream sundae. Illinois has a lot to be proud of.
When you look at the truck market in North America, you have to understand the customer, and that's one of the things I think General Motors does really well.
