'''Trylika kolonijų''' buvo anglų, danų, švedų, o vėliau britų kolonijos įkurtos [[Šiaurės Amerika|Šiaurės Amerikos]] žemyno [[Atlanto vandenynas|Atlanto vandenyno]] pakrantėje laikotarpyje tarp [[1607]] ir [[1733]] metų. Šios kolonijos paskelbė nepriklausomybę [[Amerikos revoliucija|Amerikos revoliucijos]] metu ir susijungusios sudarė [[JAV|Jungtines Amerikos Valstijas]].
The '''Thirteen Colonies''' were [[English colonial empire|English]], Dutch, Swedish, and later [[British colonization of the Americas|British colonies]] established on the Atlantic coast of [[North America]] between 1607 and 1733. They [[United States Declaration of Independence|declared their independence]] in the [[American Revolution]] and formed the [[United States|United States of America]]. The colonies were: [[Delaware Colony|Delaware]], [[Province of Pennsylvania|Pennsylvania]], [[Province of New Jersey|New Jersey]], [[Province of Georgia|Georgia]], [[Connecticut Colony|Connecticut]], [[Province of Massachusetts Bay|Massachusetts Bay]], [[Province of Maryland|Maryland]], [[Province of South Carolina|South Carolina]], [[Province of New Hampshire|New Hampshire]], [[Colony of Virginia|Virginia]], [[Province of New York|New York]], [[Province of North Carolina|North Carolina]], and [[Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations|Rhode Island and Providence Plantations]]. Each colony developed its own system of self government. The white Americans were mostly independent farmers, who owned their own land and voted for their local and provincial government. [[Benjamin Franklin]], in 1772, after examining the wretched hovels in Scotland surrounding the opulent mansions of the land owners, said that in New England every man is a property owner, "has a Vote in public Affairs, lives in a tidy, warm House, has plenty of good Food and Fuel, with whole clothes from Head to Foot, the Manufacture perhaps of his own family."<ref> Quoted in Claude H. Van Tine, ''The Causes of the War of Independence'' (1922) p 318</ref>
Before independence, the thirteen were part of a larger set of colonies in [[British America]]. Those in the [[British West Indies]], [[Canada]], and [[East Florida]] remained loyal to the crown throughout the war, although there was a degree of sympathy with the [[Patriot (American Revolution)|Patriot]] cause in several of them. However, their geographical isolation and the dominance of British naval power precluded any effective participation.
