No, it was a colony.
In fact, a Crown Colony, that was simply an extension of it's home country, Great Brittan. It was not in any way a country, but an extension of a country.
Just as the 13 Colonies were before they broke away.
In fact, the Mayflower colonists came here under protest. They had wanted to return to England from Holland, where they had first fled religious persecution, but couldn't, on pain of persecution. So they came here. But anyway, perhaps you see the reason for my question: I was responding to someone whose ancestors were colonists, not a "country" (whatever that means).
