To solve this, we need to name the 13 original British colonies in North America, listed from north to south as they appear on the map.

Let’s go step by step from top (north) to bottom (south):

1. The northernmost colony is New Hampshire — it’s small and at the very top right.
2. Just below that is Massachusetts — includes present-day Maine too back then.
3. Then comes Rhode Island — tiny, nestled between Massachusetts and Connecticut.
4. Below that is Connecticut.
5. Next is New York — large area stretching down the Hudson River.
6. Then New Jersey — sandwiched between New York and Pennsylvania.
7. Then Pennsylvania — big central colony with Philadelphia.
8. Below Pennsylvania is Delaware — small, on the coast.
9. Then Maryland — surrounds Chesapeake Bay.
10. Then Virginia — huge back then, included West Virginia too.
11. Then North Carolina — south of Virginia.
12. Then South Carolina — south of North Carolina.
13. Southernmost is Georgia — founded last, near Florida.

We can double-check: there are exactly 13, and they match the historical order from north to south along the Atlantic coast.
