From what Wikipedia tells me, the Republic existed only due to a disagreement between Britain and the US over a part of the boundary with Canada, and disgruntled settlers only declared their own Republic to avoid taxation from both sides. Since the republic is small (less than 750 miles and only 300 people), I'd imagine they'd be absorbed by one side sooner or later once they reached an agreement.
