Résumé
Did you know that shortly after winning the Revolutionary War, the United States almost violently fractured over the creation of a completely illegal, unrecognized fourteenth state? Hidden deep in the Appalachian Mountains, the brief, chaotic existence of the State of Franklin is one of the most bizarre geopolitical anomalies of early American history.
Following the war, North Carolina abruptly ceded its western, mountainous territories to the federal government to pay off war debts.
Feeling abandoned and vulnerable to indigenous attacks, the fiercely independent frontiersmen in these mountains simply declared their own sovereignty. They named their new republic "Franklin, " drafted a constitution, and elected John Sevier as governor. However, when North Carolina suddenly rescinded the cession and demanded the territory back, a bitter, multi-year political and armed standoff ensued.
Congress refused to recognize Franklin, leaving it to slowly collapse under the weight of internal violence, Native American raids, and a worthless currency based on animal pelts. This fascinating historical account unearths the fragility of the post-colonial era. It explores the fierce independence of the Appalachian settlers, the complex legal voids of territorial expansion, and the ultimate integration of Franklin into the state of Tennessee. Explore the borders that mapmakers erased.
The State of Franklin is a captivating tale of frontier rebellion, proving how precarious the foundation of the early United States truly was.
