Speaking of maps, Rhode Island doesn't border Maryland or Delaware. It's well over 200 miles between Rhode Island and Delaware, unless it somehow leapfrogged over Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. Might want to brush up on your geography a bit.

William Penn was granted "Pennsylvania," which grant specifically excluded New Castle or any of the lands within 12 miles of it. Nevertheless, Penn wanted an outlet to the sea from his new province. He persuaded James (Duke of York) to lease him the western shore of the Delaware Bay. So, in 1682, Penn arrived in New Castle with two documents: a charter for the Province of Pennsylvania and a lease for what became known as "the Lower Counties on the Delaware."

I'd say Arkansas is more similar to Oklahoma/Missouri than Louisiana/Mississippi to be honest. Virginia is a lot more similar to North Carolina than West Virginia, Maryland, or Delaware. In fact, Virginia and Maryland aren't exactly best of friends according to what I've heard on this site. Tennessee and Kentucky makes sense, maybe West Virginia could be included with those. Maryland/Delaware could join Pennsylvania/New Jersey/New York. To much surprise, I feel like South Carolina is more similar to Georgia than North Carolina. You have the division between Deep and Upper South when it comes to the Carolinas. In this case, I'd put South Carolina with Georgia and North Carolina with Virginia. Overall, I agree with the majority of the map.
