Why did king George want to establish the thirteenth colony?

Answer 1

There was not a goal of 13 colonies. In fact, there were 32 colonies total. During the last two decades of the 16th century the English Crown granted various proprietors and chartered companies authority to establish colonies in America. These led to the creation of 12 colonies and in 1730 a group of government sponsored trustees established Georgia. Except for New Hampshire and Nova Scotia, both of which were started under direct supervision of the crown, these colonies were private ventures and not supervised by the English. Between 1624-1729 the majority of the colonies were made into royal provinces and this included the private colonies.
