In the beginning (the one after the people who already lived here got the boot) there were thirteen colonies, or states. Since everyone had just piled off scurvy-encrusted wooden boats after some 2,000 treacherous miles of sailing, they couldn’t be bothered to go far into the interior, preferring instead the Eastern seaboard – except for Florida, probably because of all the alligators and ostrich-sized mosquitoes. So if you’re stumped, just think of an East Coast state. If you’re looking for three, you might choose all the ones that begin with New for example:
- New Hampshire
- New Jersey
- New York
If you want the first 3 original states of the USA, they would be
- Delaware
- Pennsylvania
- New Jersey
– these are the podium winners in the state olympics.
If you don’t go for the first set of three, you might go for one of the harder ones like these ten:
- Massachussets
- Rhode Island
- Connecticut
- Pennsylvania
- Delaware
- Maryland
- Virginia
- North Carolina
- South Carolina
- Georgia
