Of the 13 original colonies which are the most American states today?

Which U.S. state that started off as one of the original 13 colonies would our Founding Fathers recognize most clearly aligned with their vision of liberty?

If you think none of the 13 states deserve that honor then which states today do?

Perhaps this is not a totally fair question since our society has changed (not all for the better) so much since 1776. I'm sure every U.S. state government today has far more bureaucracy than the Founding Fathers would ever have wanted to see.

But some states are clearly better than others in their governance.

Hint- It sure ain’t north of the mason-dixon line.
maybe SC is the best of a sad lot.

Georgia is still very much red. Atlanta corruption and evil have overtaken it, unfortunately.

[MayflowerMadam]

Not sure, but my guess would be S.C. Perhaps Georgia five years ago, but GA has been invaded.

Yep. They didn’t become states until after the Continental Congress met.

[metmom]

I would agree with NH.

The knee-high jack-boot adds a nice touch. :-)

Georgia is blue. It doesn’t matter what the people want or even what they vote for. The blues control the electoral apparatus and so the state is blue. Done.

Around 1990, I'd have said Connecticut (Ella Grasso and O'Neil were anti-tax Democrats. When Dictator Wiecker (and I hated him) threw gasoline on the fire (creating an income tax), it was the end of Connecticut. 40 years gone by and Connecticut still wants more... Thank you, Lowell Percival Wiecker, you jackass!!

According to the question, None of the 13... New Hampshire and South Carolina are close....

Welcome to FR!

Which state did you move to SC from?

[Deplorable American1776]

True it was the Republic of Vermont...

[EvilCapitalist]

Not PA with our Commie governor.

[9YearLurker]

Yep. Exactly.

[DeplorablePaul]

When I fled deep blue Ct for paradise in SC, it felt like I moved back to America. The sense of being free was profound. Hell, I could even smoke while drinking in a bar!

[snippy_about_it]

South Carolina. Home sweet home.

[Redcitizen]
