Colonial America Travel Brochure

The time is 1735 and you are in London England.  A population explosion in England has left little available space throughout the country.   There is plenty of room in the 13 American colonies, but with little information available, people are hesitant to move there.  The King has asked YOU to create an advertisement of some sort about your colony, in hopes of attracting more people to move there. 

Use the following websites and your USA Weekly Newspapers to help to gather information about your colony.
