After the Revolutionary War , the colonies became states , each states set up its own government. They wrote state constitutions. Eventually , the people in these states created a new form of national government that would unite all the states into a single nation under the US Constitution. The first three colonies to become states were Delaware, Pennsylvania , and New Jersey. This happened in 1787. Eight colonies became states in 1788. These were Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire , Virginia and New York. North Carolina became state in 1789. Rhode Island became a state in 1790.
