∙ 11y agoThe United States started off as Britain's 13 colonies, which were located on the Atlantic Coast of North America. The first colony, Virginia, was founded in 1607 and the last, Georgia, was founded in 1733. The US went to war with Great Britain for independence in 1775. They declared independence on July 4, 1776 but did not officially win the war (and independence) until September 3, 1783.
