Claim: A paper from colonial times eventually became The New York Globe in 1904.
Evidence: It was a wholly revamped one-cent version of the two-cent paper known as the Commercial Advertiser which dated back to 1793. The colonial history of the United States covers the history of European colonization of America from the early 16th century until the incorporation of the colonies into the United States of America. The United States of America was created on July 4, 1776, with the Declaration of Independence of thirteen British colonies in North America. The union was formalized in the Articles of Confederation, which came into force on March 1, 1781, after being ratified by all 13 states.
