The Lost State of Franklin: A Forgotten Piece of American History #history
Did you know America almost had a state that doesn’t exist anymore? Discover the wild story of the State of Franklin, a forgotten part of U.S. history. In 1784, settlers in what’s now Tennessee attempted to form their own state after North Carolina gave away their land to Congress and then reversed its decision. For over four years, the “Franklinites” ran their own republic, even expanding through conflicts with Native American tribes. Despite their best efforts, Franklin vanished in 1789, when North Carolina regained control. This fascinating piece of forgotten history includes connections to Benjamin Franklin and folk hero Davey Crockett, who was born there. Watch to uncover the lost state of Franklin!
