The History of the Thirteen Colonies of North America 1497-1763

When we mention The Thirteen Colonies we refer to the first settlers of North America. They were actually British colonies that crossed the Atlantic and settled on the Atlantic coast of North America. These colonies left their motherland, Britain because they were demanding more rights which were not given to them. They set up a Continental Congress in 1774 and declared independence from Great Britain in 1776. Then, they formed a new nation – the United States of America.

The thirteen colonies were: Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts Bay, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.

All of the colonies had similar political and legal systems, and were mostly self-governed. All of the colonies were prosperous and had high growth rates and most of the families operated subsistence farms.

The intention of this book is to give a short overview of the history of the Thirteen Colonies, beginning from the point when these colonies first came to North America. It is considered as one of the most descriptive and most accurate books about the history of America, especially the topic of the Thirteen Colonies.

If you are a history lover, this book is the perfect for you. With its detailed description, it will take you in the past and allow you to witness the settling of the colonies and the creating of the first cities in the United States.
