cus durin the 1500s Britain sent a few people over to America and they formed the 13 colonies
after many battles the british government ran out of money and began to tax the colonies ALOT so they started the war of independence
the colonies won and havnt been a part of Britain since but i dnt think think they can acctually be called states because a) they're very small b) they were never really part of the origianal America
