The original 13 colonies in 1776 declared their independence from England, which led to the American Revolutionary War. The U.S. constitution was ratified I believe in 1789.
So, it depends upon your point of view - most teachers would say that we were a country from 1776 onward.

Originated in 1776. So that makes it 230 years old.

Depends on your heritage... We screwed the original Americans out of the land, thanks for being MY ancestors...I am a small portion American Indian, and recognize a good screwing when I see it... To all the original Americans, I am sorry, please accept my humble apologies... You respected the land, and revered the resources... Don't be so eager to help next time....
