Vermont was an independent country before joining the U.S.

From 1777 to 1791, Vermont operated as the Vermont Republic—with its own constitution (which was the first in North America to ban slavery), its own postal system, and even its own currency. It wasn’t part of the original 13 colonies and joined the Union as the 14th state after negotiating land disputes with New York.
