Each of the 50 states in the United States has a unique history. 13 of them were originally British Colonies. Some of them were former Spanish or French territory. Most of them were officially US territories before they became states. A few, however, were actually independent countries before they joined the Union…..or at least they sort of were independent countries. Learn more about the states that were once countries on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
