Well just of the top of my head:
Denmark had and still has a claim to Greenland.
The USA (Or the 13 separate colonies, your pick.)
The French (The Louisiana Purchase Territory(s) + More
The British (Most of Canada and the Ohio Vally, claims on Oregon (British Columbia)
The Spanish (Florida and what later became Mexico and the US southwest, + claims on the Oregon)
The Russians (Alaska and claims on the Oregon Territory.)
The Mexicans (If they had broken away from Spain already.)
The various nations of the American Indians (Depends what is meant by country?)

Spain
Britain
Denmark (If you count Greenland)
France
Russia (Alaska)
Native Americans (they still had alot of land left)
Mexican Ranchers (claimed Native American Lands)
United States
Swedish, Dutch, Scottish colonies destroyed before 1796
Yes, the Scotts did have a short-lived colony in Panama (which is technically part of North America)
Update 1: Sean, Mexico hadn't declared its independence; It would in 1810.
Update 2:Some Native tribes preached that no one could "own" land (especially in New England), and it was to be shared.
