The term “United States” was termed by John Jay when he negotiated the Jay Treaty that ended the revolutionary war. John Jay insisted that King George regard the former colonies as “States”. Up to that point a “State” was a sovereign nation like France or Spain. Therefore the thirteen colonies had become thirteen thirteen sovereign states (or Nations) that united to become the Republic known (thanks to Jay) as the “United States of America”

PS
John Jay is my great great great great great grandfather.

Here is another quote that is in very danger from an usurper, an illegal alien and TREASON in the W.H., on the march of destroying the "United States"!!!

Patrick Henry's "Treason" speech: "'Give me Liberty, or give me Death'!" is a famous quotation attributed to Patrick Henry from a speech he made to the Virginia Convention.
