Travel back in time to when America was still young and just 13 colonies. While the 13 colonies had similarities they were also different in many ways in regard to politics, geography, climate, demographics, and economics. In this activity, you are tasked with traveling up and down the coast and writing about three distinct regions: New England, middle colonies, and southern colonies to create a colonial brochure.
