I was researching all the different parts of states that tried to create their own separate states and came up with this map:
I'd like to create a community time line, where we talk about how from the POD the events led to the 89 states of the United States.
I was wondering, what POD would have led to the colored states existing or being more likely to exist? I think it would have to have taken place in the 1780s and would've depended on how Westmoreland (Luzerne Co., PA) and Franklin were dealt with--specifically Westmoreland. Perhaps the Continental Congress supported the revolutionary fervor more and in the years afterwards in the new constitution there was a provision to make it easier for parts of states which wished to form themselves out of other states to do so?
