Answer:
The number on this map that marks the area of colonial North America controlled by Great Britain is: 4
The thirteen original colonies were located in the eastern coast of North America, by the Pacific Ocean. This makes sense because is where the colonists first arrived when they came from Great Britain. Weather and living conditions were harsh and therefore at the beginning colonists didn't move west.
The thirteen original colonies controlled by Great Britain were:
Massachusetts, Nuevo Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Nueva York, Pensilvania, Nueva Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Carolina del Norte, Carolina del Sur and Georgia.
