The way the thirteen colonies became the United States is by Britain and the original 13 colonies having a war. The thirteen colonies over threw Britain, and became free from there rule. the colonies then became the United States of America.
They were treated horribly, as slaves to white men. There were no free slaves in the time of the 13 colonies and although the British would outlaw slavery not long after, America kept slavery for a longer peroid of time.
The Civil War occurred AFTER the American Revolution, so those thirteen "original" colonies had long since become STATES. At the time the Civil War broke out in 1861, there were 33 states, of which 18 were "free" states and 15 were "slave" states.
