Was a Republic corresponding to the modern U.S. state of Vermont that declared independence from Great Britain in 1777. On March 4, 1791, it was admitted into the United States as the State of Vermont.

Establishment

  • January 1778: The emergence of the Vermont Republic in 1777 forestalled claim of the grant, and Vermont's General Assembly made a grant of the same land in 1785 to William Samuel Johnson, an American founding father and jurist who informally represented Vermont before the Continental Congress and argued for its eventual admission to the federal union.
