Is it true that The US became an independent nation when it won its independence from England?

You just answered your own question. Also, the US never gained independence from 'England', but the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (as Ireland was part of the union at the time.) Do not confuse Great Britain with 'England' as it's just one of four parts of the UK, and the term offends the Welsh, Scots and Northern Irish. Also, when the US gained independence, only the 13 states of the Eastern Seaboard gained Independence, as they were the only states controlled by Britain.
