When the United States gained independence in 1776, there were 13 states. These states were originally British colonies that declared their independence from Great Britain. The states included Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island.
The official declaration of separation from Britain in the Declaration of Independence is found in the section known as the "Statement of Independence," particularly in the closing paragraph. This part states that the colonies "are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States," asserting their intent to dissolve political ties with Great Britain. It emphasizes their right to self-governance and the formation of a new nation, the United States of America.

The election results were a product of the states gaining their independence.
The transition from colonies to states in the United States was driven by the desire for self-governance, economic independence, and political representation. Colonists grew increasingly frustrated with British rule and taxation without representation, leading to a push for independence. The establishment of states allowed for a more localized government structure that could better address the needs and interests of the diverse populations across the new nation. This shift was formalized with the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and later the Articles of Confederation and the U.S. Constitution, which established a federal system of government.
