What would happen if the 13 Colonies were moved up north more, maybe due rough Atlantic currents throwing the Puritans off course, only to land on the northern coast? How would this effect American history?

And it wouldn't effect things too much beyond that. Virginia would be where it was, it was seperately founded and had a different culture than that of the Puritan colonized region, as did most others. It's not really likely they'd be that much more northern, especially given the more northern they were the more likely they'd run into France's Acadia and Scotland's Nova Scotia colony.
They probably wouldn't ever coalesce into something called the Thirteen Colonies. Britain would have more people in OTL Canada and New England, whereas maybe France or Spain would do better in OTL's American South. This would obviouslt butterfly the French and Indian War to say nothing of the American Revolutionary War.
