55 - The 13 Original Colonies

<p>Well, buckle your podcast seatbelts, because we are getting to a point where a lot of stuff happens in a really short time.  Welcome to the 1700’s!  If you ask the question, which century ‘shaped our modern world’ the most, I think I might pick the 1700’s.  A lot of influential stuff happened in the 1700’s.   </p><p><br></p><p>So as we start this crucial century, I thought I should set the stage by talking about the state of the 13 English Colonies in the New World.  But before I get to them, I should mention what else is going on in the New World, besides the English colonies.  The English colonies were all on the Atlantic coast, from what is now Maine down to the Florida Georgia line. </p>
