The colonies became the United States, because if only one or two fought against the British, they would have lost the Revolution. It took a united front of all 13 colonies to win the war of independence.

I just wanted to add that the colonies fought the British based upon the belief that a man cannot be taxed without have representation in the government, which is a belief that still hold true today. The King of England was taxing colonist upwards of 40% for their tobacco sales without giving them a vote in Parlament. This was the underlying issue that led to the colonies going to war against the British and gaining their independence
