There was no official division of the colonies, but is a common way historians have characterized the different tendencies in the various geographical regions. These widely used categories are:

New England colonies [4] (Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecticut - modern-day Vermont & Maine were also in this region, though only later organized as separate states)

Middle colonies [5] (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland... though the last is sometimes regarded as Southern)

Southern colonies [4] (Virginia, North & South Carolina, Georgia)
