So for the sake of not being a part of New York, Vermont declared independence and rejoined the US?

[@rubikscuber9277]

Kinda. This video leaves out the fact that New Hampshire also had claims on Vermont. So the Vermonters felt like they were being pulled on by both sides.

[@cuberrt]

Don't forget the states that declared independence from Britain, before the formation of the United States New Hampshire Massachussetts Rhode Island Virginia South Carolina Also the ones that declared independence from the United States, before joining the Confederacy Georgia Florida Mississippi Alabama Louisiana Arkansas (North Carolina & Tennessee joined the confederacy directly)

What isn't well known about Vermont (and Kentucky) becoming a state is that Vermont actually ratified the US Constitution. Vermont and Kentucky were the last two states to ratify the Constitution to become states. In fact, if Vermont had ratified the Constitution a few weeks earlier, it could have been the 13th state ahead of Rhode Island. This is the reason the flag that flew over Ft. McHenry during the War of 1812 had 15 stars and 15 stripes even though we had 18 states at the time.

[@romad275]

Actually, between the declaring of independence on July 2, 1776 (yes, that is the correct date, July 4th saw the passing of the official press release about the vote on the 2nd) and March 1, 1781 when the first constitution, the Articles of Confederation, went into effect the 13 former colonies were de facto 13 individual nations in a military alliance (think World War II alliance of the US & the UK).

I would say technically all if the first 15 or so states (before the constitution was ratified) were independent... also possinly all the states that seceded but before the CSA was created would have technically been independent at one point, I would add also possibly the country of Deseret (SP?) Which was the independent Mormon Nation in the southwest which included modern Utah and parts of modern Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona...which the US actually fought a war against before becoming part of America...

If Texas wanted help and couldn't get it from the U.S. at first because of antislavery, and thus turned to Great Britain for help, I'm surprised that that didn't result in Great Britain gaining Texas instead of America. Great Britain could have reestablished its own Territory in the west. Aside from the Columbia Territory.

[@stischer47]

Because after the Oregon Compromise, the British didn't want to cause any more problems with the US. In fact, Mexico tried to get them to take over California before 1845 to keep it from the Americans, but, once again, Oregon Compromise.
