Thirteen Colonies

This interactive map challenges students to place the shapes of the original 13 Colonies into the proper place on the map. Once the colony is placed, additional information about it appears on a tab to the right. This information can be edited and added to by the teacher. The left tabs reveal the modern borders of these states, areas controlled by the Spanish and British, and the different regions of Colonial America.
