For those unfamiliar, the 13 colonies were the initial colonized parts of the US—back in the early 1600s. These settlements are considered the founding counties of what is known today as the United States of America.
Starting with Virginia, the other settled regions were New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.
But hey, the story of US colonies, the Revolutionary War, and the Declaration of Independence has way more twists.
