Answer:

The 13 original states were called Colonies. European countries began taking control of areas of America in the 1500s. These European-controlled areas were called colonies. England's first successful American colony was Virginia. Virginia began in 1607 as a small camp at Jamestown. Later, Pennsylvania was founded as a home for a religious group, the Quakers. This group opposed war and rejected all rituals and oaths. The Dutch colony of New Netherlands was captured by British forces in1664 and renamed New York. The 13 American colonies would later unite into on country, but the history of each one was quite distinct.
