When did the 13 British colonies to the south of Quebec declare independence and form the United States?

  1. 1774

  2. 1776

  3. 1785

  4. 1793

The correct answer is: 1776

The 13 British colonies to the south of Quebec declared independence from Britain and formed the United States on July 4, 1776. Option A (1774) is incorrect because this was the year when the First Continental Congress was formed, but independence was not declared until two years later. Option C (1785) is incorrect because this was the year when the U.S. Congress adopted the Land Ordinance, which established a plan for admitting new states to the Union, but it was not related to declaring independence. Option D (1793) is incorrect because this was the year when George Washington was inaugurated as the 1st President of the U.S., which occurred after the country had already been established.
