The American States

The **American States** (simplified known as the US states) are the state-children of United States. There were 50 states in total, according to the American flag.

## History

The United States was formed as a result of the American Revolution when the thirteen American colonies revolted against the rule of Great Britain. After the war ended, the U.S. Constitution formed a new government. These thirteen colonies became the first 13 states as each ratified the Constitution. The first state to ratify the Constitution was Delaware on December 7, 1787. After the Revolutionary War, the United States gained control of large sections of frontier land to the west of the 13 colonies. At first this frontier land was organized into large territories such as the Northwest Territory. Over time, many of these territories became states such as Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio. In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson bought a large area of land from France called the Louisiana Purchase.

The large land of Texas became part of the United States after declaring its independence from Mexico. However, soon the United States and Mexico were fighting in the Mexican-American War. After the war, the United States gained more territory from Mexico through the Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo. Land from all or part of 10 states became part of the United States as a result of the war including California, Colorado, and New Mexico. Up until the 1840's, much of the northwest was claimed by both Britain and the United States. The two countries came to an agreement in 1846 called the Oregon Treaty. This treaty gave the United States land that would later become the states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho as well as parts of Montana and Wyoming. The last states to join the Union were Alaska and Hawaii. Alaska was purchased from Russia for 7.2 million dollars and Hawaii agreed to join the United States as the 50th state in 1959.
