New England is a region of the United States located in the northeastern corner of the country, consisting of the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.Plymouth was the second successful English settlement in the New World, founded by Pilgrims fleeing religious persecution in Europe in 1620. In the late 18th century, the New England colonies would become the first of the North American British colonies to demonstrate ambitions of independence from the British Crown, although the region, as a whole, would later oppose the War of 1812 between the United States and Britain.
