Best Answer

The colonies were before we wanted to make our nation great. In fact the term states came AFTER we separated from Britain. There was nothing really keeping them from being states except for the fact the term colonies was stuck since it came from "colonizing" a territory (settling on a terrority and colonizing isthe same)
