The 13 Colonies

Who can name the 13 colonies?

I’m aware of the 13 colonies by learning about them in grade school. But is someone asked me today to name them, I might be able to pull it out of my a**, but more than likely, I couldn’t. When was the last time I had to know them?

So, for those of you who do not know the 13 colonies, here they are:

Delaware
Pennsylvania
New Jersey
Georgia
Connecticut
Massachusetts
Maryland
South Carolina
New Hampshire
Virginia
New York
North Carolina
Rhode Island.

Per Wikipedia, the Thirteen Colonies were British colonies on the Atlantic coast of North America, which declared their independence in the American Revolution and formed the United States. At the time of the Revolution, these colonies contained territory now outside of the borders of the modern states.

And that is what I’ve learned today.
