How much territory, or how many states, did the U.S. have at the time of the American/British revolution?

Maybe the U.S. should down-size itself, as perhaps it doesn't function so well at its present size.

    Just those original 13 colonies and you're hardly the first to observe that the US is too large to be governable.

    There were no "states" just colonies. We function well when others are not attempting to create a reality and sell to us like the Dems are.
