The population of the United States on July 4, 1776, was approximately a. 2.5 million.
During the American Revolution, the population figures were based on census estimates and historical records. The number reflects the colonies' combined populations at that time.
The population growth in the United States was relatively slow during its early years. By the end of the 18th century, it had only increased slightly due to natural growth and immigration.
Thus, the estimate of 2.5 million is accurate for the period in question.
