Here is an overview and map-related information about the 13 Colonies: The 13 Colonies were British colonies on the Atlantic coast of North America that later formed the United States. They were divided into three regions:
- New England Colonies: New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut
- Middle Colonies: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware
- Southern Colonies: Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia
These colonies were established mainly in the 1600s and 1700s and had different economic focuses, with New England focused on fishing and trade, Middle Colonies on farming and livestock, and Southern Colonies on cash crops like tobacco and cotton. The map of the 13 Colonies shows them lined along the Atlantic coast from New Hampshire in the north to Georgia in the south, separated into these three geographic and economic regions.
If a visual map is needed, resources like the PDF map for labeling or interactive maps from educational websites can provide clear depictions of the colonies and their regions.
