Not sure that this is adding anything new[edit]
This article seems largely redundant to Thirteen Colonies—that is, when it's actually focused on the Thirteen Colonies. It also attempts to cover far too much extraneous material, such as the expedition of Columbus. I didn't read through the whole thing, I'll grant, so this is just an off-the-cuff response. But my initial reaction is that this is not adding anything to the discussion; your efforts might be better used to bolster existing articles. Or perhaps retitle this one to "History of the North American Continent" or something along those lines, as it appears more ambitious than focused. —Dilidor (talk) 10:46, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
Book report, "History of the Thirteen Colonies"[edit]
@Dilidor: While I agree that there should me more sources for this article, dismissing the sources we have a a "book report" is not the way to go. If you disagree with the articles sources, please find better ones instead of simply stating your own opinions. Dr. Daniel K. Richters book is reviewed here and here and seems to be a serious academic contribution on the matter. Kleuske (talk) 11:03, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
Merger?[edit]
I have proposed that this article be merged into the main "Thirteen Colonies" article... the discussion is at Talk:Thirteen Colonies#Merger proposal. Blueboar (talk) 15:30, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
