No. That's not how it works. When a collection of states decides to become independent of that government, that portion of the nation still ruled by that government is no longer their "homeland."

When the founders articulated the right to freedom, Britain ceased to be their homeland. Where their homes actually remained was their homeland.

Literally, Home-Land.
