The official title of the 1776 Declaration of Independence is "The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America." Thus, it was not a single nation called "America" that gained independence; rather, each colony independently became a sovereign state and formed a union to wage war against Britain. The "Continental Congress" was not a national government, but merely a coalition formed for the purpose of conducting the war.
