Unit 4: the Thirteen Colonies
This unit explains who came to America, where they settled, and why they decided to come. The thirteen colonies are broken into three different regions, New England, Middle, and Southern Colonies. All are vastly different but have some remarkable similarities. Students will be comparing and contrasting these colonies throughout the unit.
