 The **Second Vermont Republic** was a short-lived state in North America, which arose during the Vermont War of Independence against the the Kingdom of New England. At its height, it controlled over 60% of Vermont, and claimed sovereignty over the rest of the state. However, by 1999 it was conquered and reclaimed by New England.  The **Second Vermont Republic** was a short-lived state in North America, which arose during the Vermont War of Independence against the the Kingdom of New England.

 The Second Vermont Republic also had a notable cultural impact, due in part to Vermonter Frank Miller's sequential art book The Green Knight Returns, which sparked the cultural movement known as the Comic Book Revolution. Vermont separatism attracted widespread support amongst social liberals across the many nations of America, with Howard Dean becoming elevated to the status of a cult hero amongst many young people. The Second Vermont Republic also had a notable cultural impact, due in part to Vermonter Frank Miller's sequential art book The Green Knight Returns, which sparked the cultural movement known as the Comic Book Revolution.

-Within Vermont, the Republic's legacy has been mixed; although it attracted large amounts of initial support, a series of damaging defeats in 1999 led to an increasing desire for reunification with New England, as indicated by the local council elections of March 5 1999, which saw a large swing to the anti-administration Liberal Party. The widescale economic collapse of Vermont and the subsequent depression have made the province dependant on New England aid. As such, a future secession is unlikely, with a recent poll showing that only 25% of the population support a unilateral secession, with only 40% supporting secession in general. As New England have publicly ruled out any talk of a referendum on the status of Vermont, this makes a future revolt unlikely.+Within Vermont, the Republic's legacy has been mixed; although it attracted large amounts of initial support, a series of damaging defeats in 1999 led to an increasing desire for reunification with New England, as indicated by the local council elections of March 5 1999, which saw a large swing to the anti-administration Liberal Party.
