The New England colonies
The New England colonies were Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Hampshire.
These colonies being on the coastline had access to ports and lumber from the forests for the shipbuilding. The colonies also had a profitable fishing and whaling industry due to the ocean access. These colonies were also the center of import/export trade. Urban areas developed around these industries such as Boston, Providence, Portsmouth, New Haven, and Salem.
I believe it's "original jurisdiction."
The first American Government was called;
"The Articles of Confederation"
<u>How it started was, America was once ruled by the British. The Declaration of Independence desired to be free of Great Britain. Now this is why we separated from England (Because they abused their power). </u>
<u>The Declaration never did provide a form of government. This later led to the first plan which was 'The Articles of Confederation' </u>
