The nation of the United State of America was formed in 1776 when the thirteen colonies declared their independence from the British and won their independence after their victory in the Revolutionary War. The former of this new nation and its government was the Continental Congress, a convention of delegates from the thirteen colonies. The president of the Continental Congress was Peyton Randolph of Virginia, and then later John Hancock of Massachusetts.
I do not think that the United States has yet to have the Golden Age. In large part because of my Christian faith, I don't believe that the Golden Age will come until Jesus comes back and the world is without sin.
The Silver Age I think was more when we first became a nation, declaring our independence and setting up a democratic system of government. It was a new way of living and thinking about how things should be run, just like how in Ovid's creation story he says that "men sought- for the first time- the shelter of a house."
The Bronze Age could be seen as the Industrial Revolution, when our nation was prospering, which was from 1750 to 1850, but also held the time of Manifest Destiny in the 1840s, where the United States was prone to warfare with the Native Americans.
In all honesty, I think that we are always in the Iron Age. Human nature is greedy, warlike, and impious. Humans lie and are not always loyal. This age is one that we are constantly fighting against but can never quite escape.
