Um... Techically you're very wrong.
The United States of America was formed either in 1776 when the 2nd Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independance or in 1788 when the Articles of Confederation were replaced with the Constitution.
We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
