United States of America (Old Republic)

The United States of America (also known as The Old Republic) was a confederation in North America that existed from its Declaration of Independence on 4 July 1776 until its formal dissolution in 31 October 1801. It consisted of thirteen former British colonies that had successfully rebelled against Great Britain during the American War for Independence (1775-1783).
It was bordered by British Canada to the north, Spanish Louisiana to the west, Spanish Florida to the south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.

Following their disastrous defeats in the war, talks of secession reached an all-time high. General Andrew Jackson led the states of North Carolina and South Carolina first, followed by Vermont, Virginia, and Georgia. After the Treason Trials of 4 July 1801 President John Adams and Vice President Alexander Hamilton were both executed and the USA's official dissolution came three months later.
