From the Paper:

"The thirteen American colonies, with over two million citizens which included some 500,000 black African slaves, formed a diverse group of political, cultural, economic and religious entities grouped together in a relatively narrow band of farms, cities and plantations that stretched along the Atlantic coastline from Canada to Florida and interspersed with settlements that reached westward towards the Appalachian mountain barrier. Most of the colonies had developed from 17th century settlements that represented attempts by the English Crown or numerous British entrepreneurs to set up strategic or profit-making outposts in the New World."
