June 1776 was when the Declaration of Independence was signed, so there were 13 colonies at that time.
All 13 colonies had delegates who signed the document.
The Declaration listed colonial complaints about many British policies.
The Declaration of Independence is very important because it is the document that founded America. It freed the colonies from Britain. The Declaration of Independence was a document that many people worked on to ensure that either the government of England respect their rights, or they overthrow the government.

By mutual consent all thirteen had to vote in favor of independence. That's why the formal document (the "Declaration of Independence") specifically points out that this is a unanimous declaration.(This does not mean every single individual in Congress, but that each colony's/state's delegation would vote, and a majority of "no's" in any delegation would defeat the measure.)
The Declaration of Independence was signed by 56 men. This document which was adopted by Congress in 1776 was signed by representatives of all 13 colonies, the first of whom to sign was John Adams.
