Your “logic” is positively bizarre. Are you saying that areas not included in the original 13 colonies did not become the United States? Furthermore, the original colonies did not even achieve statehood at the same time. Have you ever wondered why Delaware’s motto is “The First State”? Because it is!

Your logic is flawless, however. After all, it is perfectly logical to ignore questions in a debate and instead just plow ahead.
Answer one simple question, if only one.
Did Eskimos live in what “became” (key word here...if you had said “became part of” then there would be no discussion) the United States?
Did they? Because the United States only “became” one time...in 1776. And in 1776, only former British colonies made up the United States. Of the 56 delegates that signed the DOI, which one was Hispanic? Which one represented Hispanic areas?
If you manage to answer that one and are feeling spry, feel free to go back and answer one of the many questions you’ve skipped so far.
Who let those damn French in? /sarcasm
