What were the English colonies in America?

In 1607, merchants from the London Company founded a settlement that they called Jamestown in a territory known as the Colony of Virginia. Although life was initially difficult—they suffered from famine and conflicts with the natives—they slowly developed a strong colony under the leadership of the explorer John Smith. It was John Smith's book, A Description Of New England, published in 1616, that then attracted the attention of the Puritans.
The people that became known as the Pilgrim Fathers arrived in New England on the Mayflower in 1620. Seeing that there were few natives, they settled into a small area that they named Plymouth.
From there, the British extended their influence across what became known as the thirteen colonies. These included the colonies of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.
After the American Revolution, these colonies became the states that made up the United States of America.
