The thirteen colonies were British settlements on the Atlantic coast of America in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Over time, they lead to the creation of the United States of America and are an important part of the history of the United States.

The 13 colonies were Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts.

The colonies were classified into three groups: the colonies of New England (Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecticut), the middle colonies (New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware) and the southern colonies (Maryland, Virginia, Carolina North, South Carolina and Georgia).

Each of the 13 colonies had its own self-government, but only white men could vote for who they wanted their governor to be.
