New England is the term colloquially used to refer to the Northeast section of the United States. It typically consists of six states: Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and The Southern Half of Maine. Canada can have Northern Maine back; we really don't want it. Also, don't let the New Yorkers trick you into thinking they're part of New England, too. This is our club, and they're not invited, so nyah. This region has had a long and colorful history. And I know what you're thinking: "Long and colorful!? No way!" But it's true.
