Detailed explanation-1: -A “territory” is a land area that has not yet been divided into states. In 1783 the United States received a huge territory from Great Britain as part of the peace treaty ending the revolutionary war. This new region stretched from the Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi River, and from Canada to Spanish Florida.
Detailed explanation-2: -By 1820, the United States already extended well beyond its original boundaries. Through the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 and treaties with Spain and Britain, the nation’s borders moved west to the Rocky Mountains, north to the 49th parallel, and south to Florida and the Gulf of Mexico.
Detailed explanation-3: -The United States of America was created on July 4, 1776, with the U.S. Declaration of Independence of thirteen British colonies in North America. In the Lee Resolution two days prior, the colonies resolved that they were free and independent states.
