Thirteen Colonies
Sign in to saveAlso known as Colonial America, American colonies, provinces in America, provinces in North America, thirteen American colonies, thirteen British colonies, British colonial America
group of 13 North American colonies of Great Britain from the founding of Georgia until American Independence (1732–1776)
The Thirteen Colonies were a group of British settlements on the east coast of North America that existed from 1732 to 1776, stretching from Georgia in the south to the northern colonies. They matter because they eventually declared independence from Great Britain in 1776, leading to the formation of the United States.
