I'm not posting this to upset or poke the US people with sticks. Predictions of the future always interest me. Ironic that this is written with the perspective of someone from the Middle East coming to the remains of the US in the year 2951.

Of course, most of this shows how people were thinking in 1882. No one can predict the future and get it right. Every prediction is based on what we already know, our current time period. I don't think anyone could correctly predict the future 200 years from now. Too many little things will change, too many to understand from where we are now.

The Last American "Short future history novel from John Ames Mitchell (1845–1918). First published in 1889, it is the fictional journal of Persian admiral Khan-Li, who in the year 2951 rediscovers North America by sailing across the Atlantic."
