The last American colony was: "The colony of Georgia," which later became the state of Georgia. It was the 13th colony in America, founded 50 years after the original 12 and funded by the British Parliament as a place to ship off inmates from crowded debtors prisons.
The prisoners (most of whom were non violent) were simply not able to pay off their past debts and the new colony was a chance for them to start a new life. This is called indentured servitude, which is similar to slavery.
The Georgia colony represented the first time that area of land was marked on a map as a defined location outside of past Indian control.
The original charter granted control of the colony to a group of trustees for 21 years. However the original trustees were never able to establish their own government fully in control over the people and when they eventually gave up; rather than being a free colony, Georgia became a royal colony with a governor appointed by the king of England.
The colony of Georgia later became the 4th US state when the governing body approved the US Constitution and signed it's allegiance to the United States instead of England, officially converting it from the colony of Georgia to the state of Georgia.
