Everything about Territorial Evolution Of The United States totally explained
This is a list of the
evolution of the borders of the United States. This lists each change to the internal and external borders of the country, as well as status and name changes. It also shows the surrounding areas that eventually became part of the United States. Each situation has a map, to show what the specific makeup of the country was at any given time.
After achieving independence with the
Treaty of Paris, the United States expanded westward, enlarging its borders seven times, with two major border adjustments, one each with colonies of the
United Kingdom and
Spain, and several small disputes. The original thirteen states grew into fifty
states, most of which began as
incorporated territories. The general pattern seen in this is of territorial expansion, carving of
organized territories from the newly acquired land, modification of the borders of these territories, and eventual statehood. Only two states,
Nevada and
Missouri, grew appreciably after statehood, and four,
Massachusetts,
North Carolina,
Texas, and
Virginia, lost land, in each case to form new states.
