The United States and the 13 Colonies

You have created a report detailing basic information about a particular state and you have shared that information with your classmates. You have worked together to make a final poster you can show to the rest of the school. Moreover,  the information you gathered has given you insight into some economic activities of the past, which we can compare to the present.

What generalizations can you make about the type of industry and economic activity of the colonies as a whole and about the states as a whole? What other similarities did you notice? Did you see any differences? What do you think about the fact that the 13 colonies decided to fight for their independece?
