A collection of diverse colonies became the United States of America because they were united by a common cause: a want for independence from Britain. United by this common goal, the colonies created the Declaration of Independence, which declared that they were no longer British colonies, and the Articles of Confederation, which helped govern during the Revolutionary War.
