    Thirteen Colonies

    Group of 13 North American colonies of Great Britain from the founding of Georgia until American Independence (1732–1776)

    The Thirteen Colonies refers to the group of British colonies on the Atlantic coast of North America which broke away from the British Crown in the American Revolutionary War, and joined to form the United States of America. The Thirteen Colonies in their traditional groupings were: the New England Colonies; the Middle Colonies; and the Southern Colonies. These colonies were part of British America, which also included territory in The Floridas, the Caribbean, and what is today Canada. The Thirteen Colonies were separately administered under the Crown, but had similar political, constitutional, and legal systems, and each was dominated by Protestant English-speakers. The first of the colonies, Virginia, was established at Jamestown, in 1607. The New England Colonies, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, were substantially motivated by their founders' concerns related to the practice of religion. The other colonies were founded for business and economic expansion. Wikipedia
