Learn and remember the above chart.  Note that the terms "England" and "Britain" are used interchangeably (with the same meaning) throughout this course.  Notice how many colonies became royal coloniesFrequently, this occurred because joint stock companies (such as the Virginia Company of London) became insolvent, or the proprietors of the colony proved unable to govern it.  
    
Now let's continue with the Colonies around the turn of the century (i.e., the late 1600s and early 1700s).  Don't memorize dates, but do keep time periods separate in your mind.  In the 1600s most of colonies were just getting started (except for [[Georgia]], which was the only colony founded in the 1700s rather than the 1600s).  In the 1700s, the colonies (except for Georgia) had long been established and were just growing stronger.
