None all were born in the colonies.
Because African Americans had never lived in America...they were foreign... The white people used them as slaves, because they thought lowly of them.
The committees of correspondence were shadow governments organized by the Patriot leaders of the Thirteen Colonies on the eve of the American Revolution. These served an important role in the Revolution, by disseminating the colonial interpretation of British actions between the colonies and to foreign governments
The Thirteen original colonies had a number of problems. First was currency, as a colony they used British currency. During the war, the printed Continental currency to pay for the war. However, after the war, states began printing their own currency, causing confusion and inconsistency. The Constitution moved to stop states from printing their own currency and coinage. Sovereign power to the Thirteen Original Colonies led to confusion, demagoguery, and inconsistencies, this is why the Articles of Confederation failed. There was no presiding power that could regulate trade between the original colonies, or their trade to foreign countries. There was no system of settling disputes between the Thirteen Original Colonies. There was no power to tax the states or people to support the new government, and the Thirteen Original Colonies had dissolved into complete economic disorganization.
That form of service was traditionally reserved for empires that had colonies: such as France, England, or Rome. No colonies? No need for a "foreign legion"!

The Declaration of Independence was a pivotal document in the founding of the United States of America. It was adopted by representatives of all thirteen colonies, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on July 4, 1776 and issued by the Second Continental Congress. It explained why America was breaking away from British rule. It announced that the thirteen American colonies, then at war with Great Britain, regarded themselves as thirteen newly independent sovereign states, and were no longer a part of the British Empire. Instead they formed a new nation -- the United States of America. It is both a declaration, and letter written to inform the English that Americans wanted an independent nation. It was pretty much a list of complaints of why King George he was being unfair to the colonists and it was also the letter of demanding independence. Thus the document both proclaims the existence of the new nation and also announces the independence of the United States. Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was an open letter to George III, King of Great Britain, stating that the thirteen American colonies considered themselves free from British rule. The American Revolution had been underway for over a year, since the battles at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. The Declaration established that rather than rebellious colonies, the United States were now a new and separate nation that fought to be free of its foreign repression. The Declaration enumerated the reasons for colonial dissatisfaction, a list of grievances against the King, in order to justify before the world the breaking of ties between the colonies and the mother country. But more than that, the Declaration of Independence espoused a relatively new philosophy: that governments are institutions established with the consent of the governed, not the divine rule of kings. Philosophers such as John Locke had proposed this principle, and the writers of the Declaration established it as the basis of their new nation, stating that all men had equal rights and privileges under the law, among those "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
