The first 13 states became a country in 1776, but when the Constitution of the United States was being ratified in 1787-1790 the original 13 states were essentially being re-admitted into the new Constitutional United States. This means that the "first" 13 states were not admitted at the same time.

The 14th through 23rd states were admitted into the union from 1791-1820

The "second" 10 states admitted into the union are:

Vermont (Split from New York), Kentucky (Split from Virginia), Tennessee (Split from North Carolina), Ohio, Louisiana, Indiana, Mississippi, Illinois, Alabama and Maine (Split from Massachusetts).
