This statement is incorrect; before 1776, the territory that is now the United States was primarily a collection of thirteen colonies under British control, not France. These colonies were established along the Atlantic coast and operated independently in many ways, though they were subject to British governance. France did have colonial interests in North America, notably in Canada and the Mississippi River region, but the thirteen colonies themselves were predominantly British. The American Revolution began in 1775, leading to the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

Before 1776 what is now the US was a collection of thirteen colonies under the control of France was true.?

Totally false. We were under the control of England. France helped the 13 colonies to get free of England. They gave us money, arms, and their army and navy helped the colonies to win the Battle of Yorktown, VA which won the Revolution for the 13 colonies. Our king was King George of England. That's why we speak English in the USA, not French.
