The United States of America was formed after thirteen British colonies in North America declared independence from the British Empire on July 4,1776. In the Lee Resolution,passed by the Second Continental Congress two days prior,the colonies resolved that they were free and independent states. The union was formalized in the Articles of Confederation,which came into force on March 1,1781,after being ratified by all 13 states. Their independence was recognized by Great Britain in the Treaty of Paris of 1783,which concluded the American Revolutionary War. This effectively doubled the size of the colonies,now able to stretch west past the Proclamation Line to the Mississippi River. This land was organized into territories and then states,though there remained some conflict with the sea-to-sea grants claimed by some of the original colonies. In time,these grants were ceded to the federal government.
