Before proclaiming independence, the Thirteen British Colonies were traditionally divided into three regions:

New England Colonies (New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut).

Middle Colonies (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware).

Southern Colonies (Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia).

*Vermont is not one of the original Thirteen British Colonies.
