The 13 original colonies of America were formed by European colonists (Puritans), who came across the Atlantic for religious freedom, due to the persecution in England. So I suppose the purpose of the 13 colonies was originally to have religious freedom.

New York was one of the original 13 colonies because it was originally settled by the Dutch in the early 17th century but was later taken over by the English in 1664. The English established New York as an English colony and it played a key role in the development of the American colonies before the Revolutionary War.
