lol sparks, somehow I don't think the question was about Battlestar Galatica. I believe the question was what was the thirteenth colony in the then British territory known today as United States of America. To answer the question, Georgia was the thirteenth colony and it wasn't founded by Battlestar Galactica (lol, but the people from Georgia do look a bit alien-like, jk). Georgia was founded after the state of Carolina (there was no North and South Carolina division back then, it was all one state). Georgia was founded on an antislavery premise, but since all the other states in the South were pro-slavery, it was inevitable that Georgia would become pro-slavery. However, the anti-slavery people of Georgia did not travel to California yet as it was not a state until about the time the Civil War had begun. Instead, many of the antislavery people of Georgia simply remained in the state or travelled northward to states such as Penneslvania or New York.

As depicted in the original Battlestar Galactica series (1978-79), particularly the series episode "Lost Planet of the Gods", Kobol orbits an irregular variable star, and its encompassing system of planets lies immediately adjacent to a "magnetic void". The people of Kobol developed space-faring technology, and within the story it is suggested that their population likely reached the limits inherent in occupying a single planet, and, coupled with other disasters or factors (such as Kobol's sun being unstable), motivated humans to leave the planet. Eden was the name of a city on the planet, and, according to Commander Adama (Lorne Greene), was "the first to fall" to some unknown cataclysm.
In scenes that were filmed, but deleted from the final broadcast of the episodes, Captain Apollo explains that in its final days, Kobol was stricken with terrible overpopulation and waste. The surface and atmosphere of the planet were in fact so polluted that only the absolute strongest of creatures could still survive. After the human inhabitants of Kobol fled the planet and founded the colonies, they deliberately destroyed all of their technology and spacecraft; it took several centuries to rebuild even the most primitive ships for exploring the stars.
Also unexplained is the culture of then-Kobolian society and their division into thirteen distinct tribes. Twelve of these groups traveled through the magnetic void and eventually settled a group of inhabitable planets in a common solar system. These settlements became the colonies depicted in the series, known collectively as the Twelve Colonies of Man. For some unexplained reason, the thirteenth tribe presumably traveled a greater distance and in the opposite direction, settling on Earth. At the time the original series began, there had been no contact between the thirteenth tribe and the Twelve Colonies. As the centuries pass, the people of the Twelve Colonies generally considered the existence of Earth and the thirteenth tribe a myth.

Georgia and the 14th was Vermont in reality even though part of another colony. Ethan Allen and his men ran that part of the country.

a cute side note, the 13 became the 13 states, the 14th state was a proposed area that was going to be called Franklin. it never took off and never became a state.
