Best Answer

The Northern colonies were the north part of the British North American Colonies, which were thirteen in total. The Northern Colonies also known as New England were composed of Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. Unlike the Middle Colonies, which contained Dutch and Swedish Colonies, New England was entirely made up of British colonists. After Independence from the United Kingdom, the State of Vermont broke off from New York and the State of Maine broke off from Massachusetts creating the New England of today.
