In disputed territory, colonial politics led to a call for independence different from, but intertwined with, the war with the British. The History Guy recalls when Vermont stood for fourteen years as a nation unto itself. It is history that deserves to be remembered.

Live in New Hampshire. I recall a few pages in a textbook on this. Learned more in 8 minutes than 12 years of school. As a fellow history buff, I am very appreciative of how The History Guy relates history to the why and how we are today.

I also live in NH. Honestly, I've seen a map where VT was part of NH, and never even knew it was actually part of NY, instead. Now that The History Guy made a video about it, I vaguely remember hearing something about VT being independent for a little while, but honestly, when trying to rattle off the 13 original colonies, I either screw up which ones were which, or I assume VT was still part of NH at the time.

@kenny desee The Russians sent three naval expeditions to the US during the Civil War, one by the Finnish (Finland was an autonomous part of the Russian empire with its own military at the time) corvette Kalevala to San Francisco, another being a six ship squadron to the West Coast with corvettes Kalevala, Bogatyr, Rynda and Novik with two clippers Abrek and Vsadnik (or Gaidamak? depends on source) and a six ship squadron to the East Coast consisting of screw frigates Alexander Nevski, Almaz, Osliaba, frigate Perseviet, plus sloops Variag and Vitiaz.

@kenny desee Now I want to read a lot more about this. It's crazy to think that a near world war could have been possible in the 1860s, and considering how closely many European powers were watching the US Civil War along with the tactics and modern weapons for the time, who knows how devastating it could have been for all involved. Amazing stuff to learn about.

@@jordanulery524 back in the 1700's, just about every farmer made some kind of "adult beverage", I think. Europeans brought the dandelion to America because of it's usefulness and because they used it to make wine. Ethan Allen wasn't special if he ran a distillery, except for not paying NY taxes. George Washington ran a distillery too. The water wasn't trustworthy back then. Alcoholism was a problem.

"History that deserves to be remembered." And my 4th Great Grandfather was a part of it! Being a young man he moved out of his parent's home in Washington county, Rhode Island and relocated in Bennington, Vermont in the late 1770s. He married in 1785 and continued to live and farm in the area of Bennington for the rest of his life. Which makes this episode of the History Guy very meaningful for me. Thank you History Guy!!!

We certainly knew this history, having learned it in grade school, and many people, even today, fly the Vermont Republic flag, green with a blue field in the corner and 13 stars for the thirteen counties of Vermont, and wish for it to be the official state flag. FWIW, many people do not know Maine was part of Massachusetts either. Burlington (in Chittenden County) was a significant fort on Lake Champlain and played a key role in the War of 1812. The cannons of the fort are still there in "Battery Park" Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys are cultural heroes and the Vermont National Guard and Air Guard are still called "The Green Mountain Boys". Their headquarters is at Ft. Ethan Allen.

Gen John Stark, the forgotten patriot general, needs to be remembered as he was likely the best Revolutionary General. Battle of Bennington. Stronger together, in Latin, was the first motto of New Hampshire. Gen Stark’s letter to his old comrades in Bennington is the source of today’s motto “Live Free or Die”. The second phrase is also important: “For there are Things Worse Than Death”. The 14 branched pine tree was from Arlington, just north of Bennington. Arlington itself, as first Capital city of Vermont, home of artists and poets is also a worthy subject - don’t forget the unpublished drawings of Norman Rockwell still in the high school. Marble for the nations capital from Manchester, the armed shooting war with New Hampshire in the Upper Connecticut Valley and why is the boundary between NH and Vt on the Vermont side rather than down the middle of the Connecticut are all interesting, forgotten tidbits worthy of an expansion on this topic.

Dear history guy, I love your videos! As a historian, I find your videos an interesting way to teach history. My expertise is in modern middle eastern history.

During my research for my dissertation, I looked into the soviet union's overthrow of Hafizullah Amin in 1979 which led to the soviet afghan war lasting almost 10 years. The events in which the soviet union decided to overthrow Amin and installed Babrak Karmal is in my opinion perfect for a history guy episode. It has everything from suprise to betrayal and everything in between but no pirates. If you wish to look into this event further, I would be more then happy to share books and primary source documents with you. Thank you for making great episodes for us nerdy historians.

Speaking of border disputes between states. An episode on the Michigan-Ohio War would be a good episode to do.

This was a great story even though it did not involve Pirates!

Sounded like there were some Hudson River pirates to me...

I'm sure they had pirates on Lake Champlain.

When I was a kid I came up with Vermont's state motto: "Vermont! We're New Hampshire... but upside down!" (I grew up in New Hampshire.)

I live in Mass and spend lots of time in Vermont. I knew VT was once part of NY. But I never knew how VT became an independent state. Thanks.

Keep 'em coming, Lance! In school it was as all about political history. These are very interesting. You have a great idea!

Wow... If one is to believe the date this video was originally posted, (today 11 March, 2020), the video has already racked up almost thirty-thousand views. Way to go History Guy!

Very fascinating forgotten history!

If you are looking for more topics I would suggest looking into the USS Vestal (AR4). She was the ship tied up next to the USS Arizona on Dec 7th. I've found that what happened during the battle, and her service during the war, is interesting history that deserves to be remembered .

That was neat! As a New Englander myself I had NO idea that Vermont was it's own "quasi-republic" until 1791! Heh, you learn something new every day.

I am happily addicted to this channel! Mr History Guy Sir, can you please consider as a topic The West Florida Rebellion of 1810? I did a paper on it years back. Thank you so much!!

Vermont is a singularly verdant and beautiful state. As a Canadian I think it may even be my favourite state. I remember back in the late '60s driving through Vermont on the way to Cape Cod (my other favourite location in the U.S.) and seeing a sign in a small town that said "Ethan Allen's horse slept here."

Dam, I love sitting back and watching your channel 👍

In NY we learned about the Green Mountain Boys, but we were never taught anything about territorial disputes nor did we learn of Vermont's independence - thanks for this!

Grew up in upstate New York. Funny how this was never mentioned. Thanks THG for this history lesson.

@steveconnor6880 4 года назад

I love all your little history lessons I guess we can call them, especially from around this time in our history. I think you should look into the little New England town of Castine Maine where the French fought the Dutch, then they fought the English, then the English the Revolutionary army and the Marines made their first ever amphibious landing and lost badly. Very interesting history for such a small place. Thank you for all your great videos.

I live on the Massachusetts/Vermont border(on the MA side) and always knew those guys just up the road were a different sort. The independent streak is still alive and well in the green hills.

@JohnStark72 4 года назад

The independent streak isn't showing in our politics any longer. We were always Republican until the 1960s. But that can change if enough people with a hard-working attitude, common sense, and a love of true liberty move here.
