Very true but in its core it was more a country that would exist inside Mexico rather than the US (It's plan was to include the whole Mexican states of Nuevo Leon, Coahuila and Tamaulipas, also including some few cities/regions of texas as it was still contested at the time this Republic started its movement). Therefore I guess that's why it was left out, as this new Republic was more Mexican and wouldn't exactly fit the title of countries that existed inside the US. Cheers!

The original 13 colonies were also countries. The Declaration of Independence was not 13 colonies declaring themselves a single independent nation. They were 13 British colonial provinces making a joint and unified statement that they were independent states on equal footing with the state of Great Britain. The text of the Declaration of Independence addresses the states in plural, to include mention of them being independent states. The United States, as a single country, did not come into existence until the US Constitution was ratified. *Edit (February 22, 2023):* Before responding, please read all the responses to this post in addition to this original post. This thread has gone to the point where each new response repeats one or a combination of things mentioned by previous posters. If I previously rebutted something that you want to say, there is an excellent chance that I will do the same with your response.

The issue of the sovereignty of the states and secession was not a new one in 1861. Not only South Carolina and the "Nullification Crisis" of 1832, but also look up the Hartford Convention of 1814. The New England states were not happy with the conduct of the War of 1812 and considered breaking off from the USA at the time. "Dishonest Abe" settled that issue by use of the Army of the United States (along with the US Navy blockading Confederate ports) INVADING the Confederacy, to bring them back by force of arms, which ultimately succeeded, most notably with the surrender of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House in 1865. Since then, effectively, the several states have been CONQUERED by the Federal Government, which has been NATIONAL in its character, rather than a voluntary federation of the states, as the Founders had intended.

*Crown Colonies, not Provinces, there is a (somewhat small, but not completely inconsequential) difference: being a "Crown Colony', despite the name, meant it was de jure British territory, as opposed to being a protected state (a largely independent country that had its own assemblies or parliament, or even monarch, and controlled its own affairs with Britain being responsible solely for defence and foreign affairs), a protectorate (the same more or less as a protected state), a Dominion (an autonomous country within the British Empire that was basically independent save for it kept the British monarch as a figurehead head of state), or a Province (basically the same as a Dominion, but before that name was coined, a term only really used for Canada before 1867). In this respect, the original 13 colonies were similar in that status to places like Hong Kong, Singapore, Aden, or the Cape Colony.

Second, the difference between the term that you used, and the one that I used, is irrelevant to this argument. The purpose of the above video, and my response to it, had nothing to do with the technical name of the colonies. *The above video discussed countries that used to exist in the area now known in the United States.

In this respect, the original 13 colonies were similar in that status to places like Hong Kong, Singapore, Aden, or the Cape Colony. [STRAWMAN] First, the British revised the political status of the colonies, changing them from chartered colonial ventures and then establishing them as provinces. Each was later identified as "The Province of" prior to the name that they took as colonies, e.g., the Province of Massachusetts (what I saw on the information for one of my ancestors). I saw this play out with my other ancestors, even though they came over when these provinces were relatively new colonial ventures. These provinces had a militia called the "Provincial Regulars". Second, neither the above video, nor the post that you're responding to, addresses the difference between a "crown colony" and "protectorate". This is about the existence of countries, no longer existing, that existed in what is now the United States. My response addressed the fact that the original colonies each became a country vice becoming a single country as many people assume. Third, the original colonies, later reestablished as provinces, managed their affairs, including defense. The colonial provinces turned towards Great Britain when the French proved too much for them. They were given a lot of autonomy. It was when Great Britain attempted to exert more control into colonial affairs, passing laws and carrying out initiatives in the provincial/colonial frontiers, that the colonials felt infringed on their sovereign rights, that led towards the American Revolution. The fight from April 1775 until the Declaration of Independence was not a fight for independence, but a fight for their rights as Englishmen to include their rights to run affairs on this side of the Atlantic. Fourth, your response, in its entirety, is irrelevant to the topic started by the OP, and in my response. Whether I used my term, or your term, the reader would understand what is being argued.

I feel like you could count a lot more native American ones. I'm sure it depends on what you count as a "country" though. For example, some groups, like the Wabanak Confederacy were essentially anarchist, or based on "consensus government", which basically means that leaders lead by convincing other people to do things, not by forcing them to. There were also probabably a lot of small groups. For example, was the Natchez chiefdom ever a country? I would think so. (I at least think they were probably more like an independent sovereign nation than "The Great Republic of the Rough and Ready" was.) There's also the question of ancient history we can't really know about, like, what exactly was the political organization of the Anasazi?

@Mr.Nichan
@Mr.Nichan Год назад
@@milkshakesnail8008 What do you think it means for people to view themselves as a "nation state"? Many people (who I think view the past world as basically Europe) say the concept of a "nation state" basically didn't exist until "nationalism" supposedly appeared in the 19th century and that before then there were only "states" that weren't "nations". "Nation state" seems like a very narrow concept, if so, though I actually totally doubt the premise. In any case, the concept of a "tribe" as a large ethno-geo-graphic entity is basically the same as a "nation", which is why they even call them "first nations" in Canada, and the concept of a "state" basically means any political unit with unified leadership that has significant actual power over the land and people it governs. I suspect many or most, though certainly not all, states north of Mexico were usually smaller than anything good to call a nation in post-contact times, but that's potentially just like city states in Greece or Germany, and there were plenty of nations that were small and even states that could at least arguably be called multi-national. That being said, some things that might look like states might not be because of the nature of the political organization, such as the Wabanak confederacy (around Maine and New Brunswick) which was one of I think at least several examples of what could be called Native American anarchism.

Including game wardens and federal agencies, which is as close to one can get to them being fully independent.

Texas will always remember the decade we were a country. We didn't try breaking away from the US but from Mexico. We joined the US as a state while every other state started as a territory Feel free to come down to San Antonio, you can visit the 5 missions from when Spain claimed Texas, the missions and San Antonio celebrated their 300th anniversary back in 2018, when 2036 rolls around there will be the 200th anniversary of a Texas winning independence from Mexico.

The Articles of Confederation which governed the US until the Constitution replaced it was based on the legal framework of the Iroquois Confederacy. The Six Nations Confederacy (and the 5 beforehand) had a system based around consensus. Each of the six had a lead council with ministers under them responsible for the usual porfolios, trade, defense etc. and there would annual meetings where all would gather. The ministerial staff would bring issues to the attention of the leaders who would hash it out with their counterparts in the other 4 / 5 nations with round the clock negotiations until a consensus was reached. This system was refined from 14th until the 18th cent.

For quite some time, the rest of the country was perfectly content to leave the "desert" of Deseret to the Mormons, believing the land to be essentially worthless. Then silver, copper, nickel, and other metals, along later with coal, were discovered, and suddenly the "Gentiles" (and yes, in the now largely-discarded practice, a Jew could be a "Gentile" in Utah) got quite interested in the place. President Lincoln, who did not care much for the Mormons, allowed the miners that were working the Comstock Lode in Silver City to break away from Deseret as the Nevada territory, and, even though it had but 10K persons, instead of the some 60K that Congress usually required for a state to be viable, it was admitted about three months prior to the 1864 election...the State constitution being transmitted via telegraph at a cost of over $4,000! Nevada further cut into the Utah territory in 1866 over the protests of the Utahns, bringing in what are now the present cities of Elko, Wells, and Ely, though at the time, they were practically rail watering stops only. FWIW, it also got the part of the Arizona Territory west and north of the Colorado river to the Utah-Nevada line, which was essentially most of present-day Clark County. Just imagine...Las Vegas, AZ! The remainder of Deseret beyond Utah's present borders was likewise excised off to Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Idaho, and even parts of SE Oregon, but with the exception of present-day SE Idaho, save for the Native Americans already there, which were quite few, there was little interest in settling those areas on the part of the Mormons.

In truth, all formal CSA states gave up thier black slaves prior to the union states giving up thier black slaves. I say black slaves, because there are others not black. That were slaves and kept past 1910. I know, you think Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. Did this as many do. Nope. The union slave states didn't free black slaves until all the Confederacy did. The Civil War was no more over slavery then the Gulf War was over babies. Yeap there is a sliver of truth to both those. But its not the major reason for either.

The Free Republic of Franklin, better known as the State of Franklin (or simply Franklin), was a sovereign nation. John Sevier sought recognition by Spain for the new republic. Spain did provide him and his family with Spanish passports and a small fortune in gold, but did not officially recognize this new State. Spain was already in negotiations with the then self-styled United States to wage war against England (for in this they found common cause) and recognizing Franklin could have caused diplomatic issues since North Carolina also claimed the region.

You forgot to mention The Sabine Free State. It also was formally known as the Neutral Ground between the USA and the Spanish that had differing opinions over the SW border of the Louisiana Purchase. It was a large long stretch of land in Western Louisiana than ran from the Sabine River in the west to the Arroyo Hondo in the east. The two countries decided it wasn't worth fighting over using arms so agreed to keep their militaries out of it while working on a diplomatic solution. It already had Anglo Spanish, French and American settlers living there along with small communities of pirate families and various native tribes so they were allowed to govern themselves. It soon became a haven for fugitives from the law, criminals, adventurers and other riff-raff. The Neutral Ground became lawless with their criminal activity spilling over into East Texas. Gangs would monitor the wagon trains of settlers going to the Texas colonies then raid them to steal everything they had, kill the men and sell the women and children to the natives as slaves. The US and the Spain sent troops in 1810 and 1812 to clear out the gangs from that region. The Sabine Free State also had a de facto currency that consisted of counterfeit Spanish coins that were produced by an enterprising French resident of New Orleans. Since those weren't solid gold or silver and only plated, the residents of the neutral ground didn't have to worry about those being stolen for their precious metals so were accepted in payment for goods and services. The Neutral Ground became part of the USA after a treaty was signed in 1821 that set the border along the Sabine River. That region and much of East Texas remained lawless for the next 50 years. Texas also had several short-lived republics before the Texians declared independence from Mexico. One was the Republic of Fredonia in East Texas that was formed on December 21, 1826 and dissolved by the Mexican Army and Texian militias on January 31, 1827. It's leader was a Southern planter that was award a local land grant to colonize and realized he could grab more from the current landowners that owned land given to them by the Spanish but couldn't produce a deed to prove ownership. He raised a militia of local residents that wanted a part of the action and adventurers from the Neutral Ground. Then he made treaties with the Cherokee bands that had relocated to East Texas promising them more land. His militia seized Nacogdoches and raised a flag with two stripes of white and red, which indicated unity with the natives. The Cherokee had second thoughts so failed to send warriors when the 100 Mexican soldiers and 275 Texian militiamen arrived on January 31 to regain control of the region. The Army of Fredonia fled after a 10 minute fight with the superior forces. The perps fled to the USA and the Cherokee executed the two chiefs that signed the treaty for involving them in the venture. Due to that rebellion, the Spanish then stationed a larger garrison of soldiers at Nacogdoches to monitor then halt the flow of settlers entering from the Neutral Ground along the El Camino Real and from the north from Arkansas (safest route for avoiding bandits). The East Texians became fed up with the Mexican government so ran off their army garrisons at Nacogdoches and other towns in 1832. Santa Anna became highly concerned about East Texians ignoring Mexican laws so formed an army to march up there before Austin and others declared the Republic of Texas.

As you said in the video, Deseret was merely a proposed territory/state of the U.S., *never* an independent country by either intent nor practice! Once their land became part of the U.S. after the Mexican-American War, the Mormons had no political interest in anything beyond remaining loyal U.S. citizens. They were also not autonomous in practice, as an accepted territorial government under the U.S. was quickly established, the only differences in opinion being the size and name of the territory.

You might want to look up the Mormon War of 1857-1858. Mormons who settled Utah were not too keen on allowing non-Mormons appointed by Washington to run the territory. Mormon militia attacked US Army troops assigned to the territory and on September 11, 1857 they massacured a California bound wagon train. Through the fall and into the spring the Mormon militia attacked US Army posts in the Utah Territory. In June 1858 President Buchanan offered the Mormons a pardon in exchange for accepting the authority of the US government. Utah would remain under military occupation until the territory legislature agreed to a speration between the government and the LDS Church.

@@erwin669 Wow, do you have your facts wrong! 1) The Mountain Meadows Massacre was committed by people from a single town without any approval from any higher level of leadership in the territory. They were in fact told to let them go, but the return message arrived too late. 2) No army posts were ever attacked. 3) No such pardon offer was ever made, especially since the Territory had always accepted the authority of the U. S. Government. While Brigham Young was an unpopular territorial Governor in D.C., he peaceful stepped down when he was replaced. 4) Federal troops were only sent by Buchanan due to false rumors and incomplete information in an extremely embarrassing move by the President. The troops left shortly after arrival once they saw for themselves that there was no reason for them to be there.

The reason the Cherokee moved to Oklahoma is because they were forced to by Andrew Jackson. Commonly refer to as the “Trail of Tears”, the United States Government forced the people off of their homelands to Oklahoma, and many many people died. Then, the land that was promised them in Oklahoma was also eventually taken away as more people moved west.

I noticed he said "The United States are" which is incorrect. Before the Civil War people said the United States are because people felt more a part of their State than the country. After the Confederacy was defeated, it gradually shifted to "The United States is" because people grasped the concept that this is one country and if it we don't want it to "perish from the Earth" we need to be more loyal to that country than the State.

@@CastleWright They were right. The nation has to be held together by people who want to be together. But each state is or should be sovereign, and was until the so-called "civil war" which wasn't even a civil war. A civil war is two or more factions fighting over control of the same country. In the 1860s, it was one country invading another who was defending itself from invaders.

@@cheapbastard990 Your opinion has no basis in fact. Legally you are wrong. The Constitution gives the power over legal matters to the Supreme Court which ruled in Texas v White that states do not have the unilateral power to secede. Morally you are wrong. It is hypocritical for a state to argue it should have the power to secede while holding hostage a people who have no rights at all. Economically you are wrong. When the States attempted to secede they took Federal property they did not compensate the US for. You can't just grab other people's property, declare its yours and run. Historically you are wrong. If in fact the Confederacy was an independent nation, then under the norms nations operated under in the 19th century, the USA had every right to wage war on it, conquer it, and impose any peace it chose on it. Diplomatically you are wrong. No country at that time recognized the Confederacy as an independent nation, but rather a subsection in rebellion. The United States are not a confederation. The United States is one nation with liberty and justice for all.

Four. My state, Florida, had FOUR sovereign countries within its borders. What was forgotten or overlooked was the founding of the Conch Republic. When Key West and Monroe County decided that the roadblock set up by the US Border Patrol was seriously affecting tourism, they seceded. Mayor Dennis Wardlow and the council declared Key West's independence on April 23, 1982. In the eyes of the council, since the U.S. federal government had set up the equivalent of a border station as if they were a foreign nation, they might as well become one. As many of the local citizens were referred to as Conchs, the micronation took the name of the Conch Republic. Without going into detail, they designed a gorgeous flag!

I think it's pretty questionable to say that the Iroquois Confederacy lacked a united national identity, since all of the member tribes spoke related "Northern Iroquoian" languages and stayed politically united for at least a hundred years, and possibly for several hundred years. *though some non-menbers also spoke Iroquoian languages, and even Northern Iroquoian languages. "Southern Iroquoian" basically means Cherokee, if you're curious.

Just a quick thing: historically, "Iroquois" has never been the official name for that confederacy. Rather, they used and still use the term Haudenosaunee. "Iroquois" was what the Europeans called them and likely came from a deragatory term used for them by the Algonquin. While some members of the six nations are fine with Iroquois, others find it offensive.
