How many states were there in America in the year 1800?

Answer 1

In the year 1800 there were sixteen states in the United States.

Other than the original thirteen colonies (Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts Bay, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island) there was the addition of Vermont (which had been part of New York, then its own country called Vermont), Kentucky (part of Virginia), and Tennessee (part of North Carolina).

Keep in mind, at this time Maine was still part of Massachusetts Bay (later separated into Massachusetts and Maine), and West Virginia was still part of Virginia. In addition to this, the states which are now Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, the parts of Minnesota east of the Mississippi River, and all but the southernmost tips of Mississippi and Alabama were owned by the United States (acquired 1783), but weren't states yet. They were only territories. Basically, the United States and its territories consisted of all land it currently owns east of the Mississippi River with the sole exception of Florida and the southern tips of Mississippi and Alabama, which were Spanish, and eastern parts of Louisiana, which were French.
