13... the thirteen original colonies
The creation of a country from many colonies, particularly in the context of the United States, involved a combination of political, social, and economic factors. The Thirteen Colonies unified in their desire for independence from British rule, driven by shared grievances over taxation and lack of representation. The Continental Congress facilitated collaboration among the colonies, leading to the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Ultimately, the Revolutionary War and subsequent treaties solidified their status as a united nation.
11 out of the 13 colonies voted in favor of independence from Great Britain on the initial vote on July 1st.
By mutual consent all thirteen had to vote in favor of independence. That's why the formal document (the "Declaration of Independence") specifically points out that this is a unanimous declaration.(This does not mean every single individual in Congress, but that each colony's/state's delegation would vote, and a majority of "no's" in any delegation would defeat the measure.)
