13 oprindelige kolonier
I 1775 forlangte Storbritannien myndighed over de røde og lyserøde områder på kortet og Spanien regerede det orange område. Det røde område udgør de 13 oprindelige kolonier, som, vil gøre op med Storbritanniens indflydelse ved Proclamation of 1763.
De 13 oprindelige kolonier, der ved at underskrive uafhængighedserklæringen i 1776 brød forbindelsen med Storbritannien og dermed udgjorde de første medlemsstater i USA var:
- New England:
- Province of New Hampshire, senere New Hampshire og Vermont
- Province of Massachusetts Bay, senere Massachusetts og Maine
- Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, senere Rhode Island
- Connecticut Colony, senere Connecticut
- De midterste kolonier:
- Province of New York, senere New York
- Province of New Jersey, senere New Jersey
- Province of Pennsylvania, senere Pennsylvania
- Delaware Colony (eller før 1776, the "Lower Counties on Delaware"), senere Delaware
- De sydlige kolonier:
- Province of Maryland, senere Maryland
- Colony and Dominion of Virginia, senere Virginia, Kentucky og West Virginia
- Province of North Carolina, senere North Carolina og Tennessee
- Province of South Carolina, senere South Carolina
- Province of Georgia, senere Georgia

Map of territorial growth 1775.jpg
Eastern North America in 1775: The map shows part of the British Province of Quebec, the British thirteen colonies on the Atlantic coast, the interior Indian Reserve, and parts of New Spain. Some colonies claimed land further west, but only the areas shown in red were legally open to settlement by European-Americans, due to the Royal Proclamation of 1763). East Florida and West Florida had been acquired by Britain from Spain, and did not join the American Revolution the next year.

Flag of the United States (1777-1795).svg
U.S. flag from 14 June 1777 to 1 May 1795 using a circular star pattern, known as the "Betsy Ross flag". Version of the "Betsy Ross" design of the first flag of the United States (i.e. with 13 stars in a circle), shown with shorter canton and modern 19:10 flag proportions. Apocryphal legend states it was created by Betsy Ross, though this is disputed. The stars all face outward and represent a new constellation. This flag was used from 14 June 1777 to 1 May 1795.
