The Original Thirteen States By William DeForest Halsted IV February 18-19, 2020
The original thirteen United States of America Begin way down south with Atlanta, Georgia. Then above are South and North Carolina, you see; The first has Colombia, the other, Raleigh. Further north is Virginia’s Richmond, And Annapolis, Maryland, continuing on.
Then moving east, cross on over To Delaware – capital: Dover.
There’s Pennsylvania’s Harrisburg, and Trenton of New Jersey, And further above is the state of New York, whose capital’s Albany. Then there’s where Paul Revere gave the word In New Hampshire’s capital of Concord. And placed down south by God’s intelligence
Is Rhode Island’s capital Providence. Then westward, where it was put, Is Hartford, capital of Connecticut. And finally concluding our great nation hard-won
Is Massachusetts and Boston. These states, as you have seen, Are the Union’s original thirteen.
