Can you name one of the original 13 states?

Virginia is one of the original 13 states that formed the United States. These states were the first colonies to declare independence from British rule and eventually ratified the Constitution. Virginia, in particular, played a significant role in early U.S. history as it was one of the first colonies established, and it was the birthplace of several key figures, including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

The other choices are not among the original 13 states. Ohio was admitted to the Union later, in 1803, California became a state in 1850, and Texas was added in 1845. Understanding the historical context of the original colonies helps to appreciate their significance in shaping the early United States.
