After the French and Indian War ended in 1763, the British promised they would not settle beyond the Appalachian Mountains. However, the colonies did not agree and started to settle anyway. The first permanent European settlement was in 1774. Soon, more settlers began to move in around the area. In 1775, Daniel Boone led settlers, widening and improving the trail across the Cumberland Gap so that wagons could travel through. This trail became known as the Wilderness Road. Many settlers over the coming years used this trail.
It was impossible for Virginia to keep authority over these distant lands even with control of the Cumberland Gap, the settlers beyond, in a loose alliance, defeated the Virginian militia sent against them.

Re-Admitted: 1816 Title: Trading Republic
Two of the original 13 states as Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Revolts in western Massachusetts erupted in 1792, after the amalgamation of Massachusetts and new Hampshire as New England. Their early successes prompted others to rebel and proclaim the State of Vermont.
Once the initial impetus was over, neither revolt could survive without support from outside of New England.
War was declared on Connecticut and it's ally, Rhode which had been providing arms and materiel, in 1794. Both were easily over-run and annexed to New England.
The loss of 3 of the original 13 States caused alarm in the Continental Union but, with no standing army, it was up to individual states to take action. New York declared war but this degenerated into skirmishes, New England and New York negotiated peace in late 1797.
The C.U. continued sanctions against New England in an attempt to force the release of Rhode and Connecticut.
Barred from Congress, New England, under [Name Redacted], decided in 1798, to Secede, declaring itself the Republic of New England. Dominated by merchants and with a large maritime presence, the Republic bore a striking resemblance to Venice.
Ill-advisedly allying itself with Republican France, New England was dragged into war with Britain and, whilst it's navy hindered reinforcements, the British army and Canadian Militia laid siege to Boston.
New England gave up it's claims in upper Maine and ceded land in Vermont in the Treaty of Amiens [1802].

New Jersey - Capitol: Trenton Admitted: 1781 Title: Republic
One of the original 13 states. In the upheavals of 1802, re-asserted it's claims to “East Jersey”, including the city of Pennsylvania which, although change was debated, kept it's name. William Penn was also responsible for the founding of New Jersey.
In 1804, New Jersey became the last northern state to abolish new slavery and enacted legislation that slowly phased out existing slavery.

New York - Capitol: New York Admitted: 1781 Title: Principality
One of the original 13 states. Gaining administration of the Principalities of Niagra and St.Lawrence the state was split by the lands of the Haudenosaunee. New York was forced to cede it's claims to the North-west, which it could not exploit, to the central government.
Taking the lead in the war against New England due to proximity, New York mobilised the militia and advanced into Vermont and Connecticut. Attempts to transport men to Long Island were foiled by New England ships which then blockaded New York very effectively.
The initial impetus was halted and the War devolved into border skirmishes.
There was no major battle in the entire War but the drain on resources for both sides brought New England and New York to the negotiating table in late 1797.
Western Vermont and Fairfield, Conn. were ceded to New York in the peace.

Niagra - Capitol: York Admitted: 1818 Title: Electorate
Ceded by Britain in 1781 and originally awarded to New York. New York proved incapable of governing the area, driving out many of the British settlers, many of whom re-settled in the C.U. en-route to the British Red River Colony.
Now has a majority German population partially due to land awarded to Mercenaries and, partially due to immigration from North Germany.
Put under Military rule in 1798, the state was admitted in 1818.
It is the only state to grant electoral rights to everyone [male and female] over the age of 25, regardless of property requirements.

Ohiyo - Capitol: Columbus Admitted: 1803 Title: Duchy

S.Ojibwa - Capitol: Ste.Marie Admitted: 1819 Title: Republican Chiefdom
Part of the Ojibwa tribe, known as the Chippewa, petitioned to be separated from Ojibwa state on a political basis, having rejected monarchy for republicanism. Despite objections from Ojibwa state this was accepted, mostly due to the geographical separation of the two areas.
Has an ongoing dispute with New Hesse over control of counties on the Michigan Peninsula. Weirdly each controls a county they do not claim but neither will give up control of what they have to get what they claim. As time drags on and immigration progresses, a solution seems less and less likely.

Shawnee - Capitol: Hamilton Admitted: 1806 Title: Constitutional Chiefdom
The Shawnee were not happy that Europeans were building homes on their hunting grounds. They attacked settlers and soon the settlers were at war with the Shawnee. In 1774, the governor of Virginia, Lord Dunmore, declared war on the Shawnee. He defeated them at the Battle of Point Pleasant. After the battle, the Shawnee and the settlers agreed to use the Ohio River as the border between the colonists and the Shawnee. As subjects of Haudenosaunee the Shawnee lands were ceded to the President in 1799.

The government of North Carolina, however, refused to recognize the deeds' validity and continued to make grants in the territory. In August, 1784 the Watauga Association declared their Independence from North Carolina because of neglect, and misuse by North Carolina’s legislature. By May, 1785 they had petitioned to be admitted to the C.U. as a State. This request was denied.
In the chaos after the second Virginian rebellion, the western lands claimed by North Carolina followed suit.

Winnebago - Capitol: Milwaghee Admitted: Proposed 1870 Title: Protectorate
The Winnebago population had shrunk so low that intermarriage with neighbouring tribes but more with French and German settlers was the only way forward. They have been allied with the C.U.

Wyandot - Capitol: Perry Admitted: 1806 Title: Governorate

Lands ceded by France under the 1807 Treaty of New Orleans. Whilst many migrants to the west coast had passed through the Great Plains on the Oregon Trail, the California gold rush which started in 1843 greatly increased traffic. The next year the C.U. decided it needed to secure both their safety and the C.U. claim to the area under the Treaty of New Orleans. The government undertook to ensure protected right-of-way for the migrants.
The situation escalated in 1847, when a detachment of C.U. soldiers illegally entered a Sioux encampment to arrest those accused of stealing a cow, and in the process sparked a battle in which Chief Conquering Bear was killed.
The army allowed hunters onto Sioux land to slaughter buffalo, providing protection and sometimes ammunition. Buffalo declined swiftly and, combined with the failed crop the year before and of a winter of starvation, the Sioux grew desperate.
Local traders would not issue any more credit to the Dakota.
In 1850 the Sioux War began when a few Santee men murdered a white farmer and most of his family. They inspired further attacks on white settlements along the Minnesota River. In 1851 a band attacked the trading post at Redwood.
Most Dakota fighters surrendered shortly after the Battle of Wood Lake in 1852.
Yanktonai chief Struck by the Ree told his people, "The white men are coming in like maggots. It is useless to resist them. They are many more than we are. We could not hope to stop them. Many of our brave warriors would be killed, our women and children left in sorrow, and still we would not stop them. We must accept it, get the best terms we can get and try to adopt their ways."
Under the Treaty of New Ulm [1853] the Dakota and Yanktonai nations ceded lands and became protectorates. The C.U. also gained the right to forts in Yankton and Lakota lands.

In 1775, Daniel Boone led settlers, widening and improving the trail across the Cumberland Gap so that wagons could travel through. This trail became known as the Wilderness Road. Many settlers over the coming years used this trail.

Re-Admitted: 1816 Title: Trading Republic
Two of the original 13 states as Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Revolts in western Massachusetts erupted in 1792, after the amalgamation of Massachusetts and new Hampshire as New England. Their early successes prompted others to rebel and proclaim the State of Vermont.
Once the initial impetus was over, neither revolt could survive without support from outside of New England.
War was declared on Connecticut and it's ally, Rhode which had been providing arms and materiel, in 1794. Both were easily over-run and annexed to New England.
The loss of 3 of the original 13 States caused alarm in the Continental Union but, with no standing army, it was up to individual states to take action. New York declared war but this degenerated into skirmishes, New England and New York negotiated peace in late 1797.
The C.U. continued sanctions against New England in an attempt to force the release of Rhode and Connecticut.
Barred from Congress, New England, under [Name Redacted], decided in 1798, to Secede, declaring itself the Republic of New England. Dominated by merchants and with a large maritime presence, the Republic bore a striking resemblance to Venice.
Ill-advisedly allying itself with Republican France, New England was dragged into war with Britain and, whilst it's navy hindered reinforcements, the British army and Canadian Militia laid siege to Boston.
New England gave up it's claims in upper Maine and ceded land in Vermont in the Treaty of Amiens [1802].

New York - Capitol: New York Admitted: 1781 Title: Principality
One of the original 13 states. Gaining administration of the Principalities of Niagra and St.Lawrence the state was split by the lands of the Haudenosaunee. New York was forced to cede it's claims to the North-west, which it could not exploit, to the central government.
Taking the lead in the war against New England due to proximity, New York mobilised the militia and advanced into Vermont and Connecticut. Attempts to transport men to Long Island were foiled by New England ships which then blockaded New York very effectively.
The initial impetus was halted and the War devolved into border skirmishes.
There was no major battle in the entire War but the drain on resources for both sides brought New England and New York to the negotiating table in late 1797.
Western Vermont and Fairfield, Conn. were ceded to New York in the peace.

Niagra - Capitol: York Admitted: 1818 Title: Electorate
Ceded by Britain in 1781 and originally awarded to New York. New York proved incapable of governing the area, driving out many of the British settlers, many of whom re-settled in the C.U. en-route to the British Red River Colony.

Part of the Ojibwa tribe, known as the Chippewa, petitioned to be separated from Ojibwa state on a political basis, having rejected monarchy for republicanism. Despite objections from Ojibwa state this was accepted, mostly due to the geographical separation of the two areas.
Has an ongoing dispute with New Hesse over control of counties on the Michigan Peninsula. Weirdly each controls a county they do not claim but neither will give up control of what they have to get what they claim. As time drags on and immigration progresses, a solution seems less and less likely.

Shawnee - Capitol: Hamilton Admitted: 1806 Title: Constitutional Chiefdom
The Shawnee were not happy that Europeans were building homes on their hunting grounds. They attacked settlers and soon the settlers were at war with the Shawnee. In 1774, the governor of Virginia, Lord Dunmore, declared war on the Shawnee. He defeated them at the Battle of Point Pleasant. After the battle, the Shawnee and the settlers agreed to use the Ohio River as the border between the colonists and the Shawnee.

In August, 1784 the Watauga Association declared their Independence from North Carolina because of neglect, and misuse by North Carolina’s legislature. By May, 1785 they had petitioned to be admitted to the C.U. as a State. This request was denied.
In the chaos after the second Virginian rebellion, the western lands claimed by North Carolina followed suit.

Winnebago - Capitol: Milwaghee Admitted: Proposed 1870 Title: Protectorate

Lands ceded by France under the 1807 Treaty of New Orleans. Whilst many migrants to the west coast had passed through the Great Plains on the Oregon Trail, the California gold rush which started in 1843 greatly increased traffic. The next year the C.U. decided it needed to secure both their safety and the C.U. claim to the area under the Treaty of New Orleans. The government undertook to ensure protected right-of-way for the migrants.
The situation escalated in 1847, when a detachment of C.U. soldiers illegally entered a Sioux encampment to arrest those accused of stealing a cow, and in the process sparked a battle in which Chief Conquering Bear was killed.
The army allowed hunters onto Sioux land to slaughter buffalo, providing protection and sometimes ammunition. Buffalo declined swiftly and, combined with the failed crop the year before and of a winter of starvation, the Sioux grew desperate.
Local traders would not issue any more credit to the Dakota.
In 1850 the Sioux War began when a few Santee men murdered a white farmer and most of his family. They inspired further attacks on white settlements along the Minnesota River. In 1851 a band attacked the trading post at Redwood.
Most Dakota fighters surrendered shortly after the Battle of Wood Lake in 1852.
Yanktonai chief Struck by the Ree told his people, "The white men are coming in like maggots. It is useless to resist them. They are many more than we are. We could not hope to stop them. Many of our brave warriors would be killed, our women and children left in sorrow, and still we would not stop them. We must accept it, get the best terms we can get and try to adopt their ways."
Under the Treaty of New Ulm [1853] the Dakota and Yanktonai nations ceded lands and became protectorates. The C.U. also gained the right to forts in Yankton and Lakota lands.
