They can come back to the UK and replace Scotland.

It’ll never happen, they are being priced out of their own homeland and the place is important to the U.S military so they’ll likely never give in.

Yeah, but if the treatment of Native Americans were any indication of the US Governments stance on Native Rights, the movement is but a dream or wishful thinkings on “what could have been” and this is from a 40% Native Hawaiian, me, lol. Can’t deny that our developmental success was due to the US annexing and incorporating us into its Federal Economy, but eh, I’ve got a hefty reparations inheritance to look forward to lol.

@@JonBoullion1020 I am curious as to how you are 40% native islander? Genuinely curious.

"Capital." The word is "capital." And NO, there was no such republic. Just because a bunch of nuts decided to call themselves a republic doesn't make it so.

Yes and it's because the Republic of the Rio Grande that Texas includes the regions of Texas south of the Nueces River, which means that Texas and Hawaii are the only annexed former countries that can say they expanded their territory during their history.

Very true but in its core it was more a country that would exist inside Mexico rather than the US (It's plan was to include the whole Mexican states of Nuevo Leon, Coahuila and Tamaulipas, also including some few cities/regions of texas as it was still contested at the time this Republic started its movement). Therefore I guess that's why it was left out, as this new Republic was more Mexican and wouldn't exactly fit the title of countries that existed inside the US. Cheers!

The issue of the sovereignty of the states and secession was not a new one in 1861. Not only South Carolina and the "Nullification Crisis" of 1832, but also look up the Hartford Convention of 1814. The New England states were not happy with the conduct of the War of 1812 and considered breaking off from the USA at the time. "Dishonest Abe" settled that issue by use of the Army of the United States (along with the US Navy blockading Confederate ports) INVADING the Confederacy, to bring them back by force of arms, which ultimately succeeded, most notably with the surrender of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House in 1865. Since then, effectively, the several states have been CONQUERED by the Federal Government, which has been NATIONAL in its character, rather than a voluntary federation of the states, as the Founders had intended.

*Crown Colonies, not Provinces, there is a (somewhat small, but not completely inconsequential) difference: being a "Crown Colony', despite the name, meant it was de jure British territory, as opposed to being a protected state (a largely independent country that had its own assemblies or parliament, or even monarch, and controlled its own affairs with Britain being responsible solely for defence and foreign affairs), a protectorate (the same more or less as a protected state), a Dominion (an autonomous country within the British Empire that was basically independent save for it kept the British monarch as a figurehead head of state), or a Province (basically the same as a Dominion, but before that name was coined, a term only really used for Canada before 1867). In this respect, the original 13 colonies were similar in that status to places like Hong Kong, Singapore, Aden, or the Cape Colony.

@@jonathanwebster7091 *jonathan webster:* Crown Colonies, not Provinces, there is a (somewhat small, but not completely inconsequential) difference: First, I called them "British colonial provinces" based on both my decades long enjoyment of reading history related topics, as well on my family tree research, which showed my direct ancestors listed as being in "The province of [name of province]". Second, the difference between the term that you used, and the one that I used, is irrelevant to this argument. The purpose of the above video, and my response to it, had nothing to do with the technical name of the colonies. *The above video discussed countries that used to exist in the area now known in the United States. My response addressed the fact that the original colonies (British colonial provinces) each declared themselves independent in a joint statement (Declaration of Independence).* *jonathan webster:* being a "Crown Colony', despite the name, meant it was de jure British territory, as opposed to being a protected state (a largely independent country that had its own assemblies or parliament, or even monarch, and controlled its own affairs with Britain being responsible solely for defence and foreign affairs), a protectorate (the same more or less as a protected state), a Dominion (an autonomous country within the British Empire that was basically independent save for it kept the British monarch as a figurehead head of state), or a Province (basically the same as a Dominion, but before that name was coined, a term only really used for Canada before 1867). In this respect, the original 13 colonies were similar in that status to places like Hong Kong, Singapore, Aden, or the Cape Colony. [STRAWMAN] First, the British revised the political status of the colonies, changing them from chartered colonial ventures and then establishing them as provinces. Each was later identified as "The Province of" prior to the name that they took as colonies, e.g., the Province of Massachusetts (what I saw on the information for one of my ancestors). I saw this play out with my other ancestors, even though they came over when these provinces were relatively new colonial ventures. These provinces had a militia called the "Provincial Regulars". Second, neither the above video, nor the post that you're responding to, addresses the difference between a "crown colony" and "protectorate". This is about the existence of countries, no longer existing, that existed in what is now the United States. My response addressed the fact that the original colonies each became a country vice becoming a single country as many people assume. Third, the original colonies, later reestablished as provinces, managed their affairs, including defense. The colonial provinces turned towards Great Britain when the French proved too much for them. They were given a lot of autonomy. It was when Great Britain attempted to exert more control into colonial affairs, passing laws and carrying out initiatives in the provincial/colonial frontiers, that the colonials felt infringed on their sovereign rights, that led towards the American Revolution. The fight from April 1775 until the Declaration of Independence was not a fight for independence, but a fight for their rights as Englishmen to include their rights to run affairs on this side of the Atlantic. Fourth, your response, in its entirety, is irrelevant to the topic started by the OP, and in my response. Whether I used my term, or your term, the reader would understand what is being argued.

They still are technically, the United States is a foreign corporation with respect to each state. Thats why they are called states and not provinces

@@ForageGardener They're called states, as back in the late 18th Century, what we would call a nation today they called a "State". The Declaration of Independence spells this out in the part where they declare themselves on equal footing with Great Britain, also identified as a state. "State" is still used today as one of the terms to identify a nation.

The Sabine Free State had no formal government so became a haven for outlaws, fugitives from the law and adventurers. They did have their own currency which were counterfeit Spanish coins made by a shady merchant in New Orleans. Legal tender was hard to find and keep so the residents just used the phony money for everyday transactions.

Actually the Confederate states was never reconizeb by the USA

The CSA didn't succeed with anything, existed on the premise of owning people as property, and their flag was the white flag of surrender. They don't deserve recognition apart from the fact that Reconstruction didn't happen for long enough.

@@shadibeidas1 It wasn't over owning people. Most Northerners could care less if the Southerners owned slaves and were happy to turn in runaway slaves to earn the large rewards. It was over state's rights. The Southern states were outnumbered in Congress which had been passing hefty export tariffs on cotton and other southern agricultural products to keep their prices lower for the Northern industrialists and general population since the European countries were willing to buy as much as the Southern states could produce. The Southern states' governments were controlled by the wealthy planters so they agreed to break away from the USA to form their own country.

Yes, obvious why it's not included, but it should mentioned straight up. Like "Countries That Used To Exist Inside The United States (other than the CSA)" it doesn't matter that "The USA didn't recognize them"- that's true of most of these, it's just a standard disclaimer that should be made. It was a declared independent nation, as were those that sprouted up around it.

Me too. I grew up in Nevada City. Drive through Rough and Ready to get to Marysville, before Penn Valley freeway. 😂

So does the Seneca Nation

The whole reason I even clicked on this video was to see just how badly they screwed up on this. I live very close to the Arkansas-Oklahoma boarder and even people here are so ignorant. Also I'm sorry to all those nations right now in light of the SCOTUS ruling and how little to no light is being shined on the topic.

When I clicked on this video, somehow I was expecting to hear about the Kingdom of Hawaii, Iroquois Confederation, Navajo, Oneida, Mississippi Mound Builders, Aztecs etc. Funny how some people act like the history of what is now the US started when Europeans arrived.

It's pretty clear that the US never intended - and still doesn't intend - to view Indian reservations as Nations in the UN sense of the word. Because of ambiguity in the treaties, they are allowed to have gambling and their own local governments. I think it's prudent to think of them like the Crown dependencies of the UK, which provide military and foreign policy.

@@Henrik46 I agree, however in reference to the eastern band of cherokee. It's never been referred to as a reservation, and it is their historical land, as in the land of their ancestors, also in regard to their laws, for example all forms ofAmerican law enforcement lack jurisdiction their. Including game wardens and federal agencies, which is as close to one can get to them being fully independent. Their required id's for example aren't recognized by the US, same with their drivers licenses. Also I could be mistaken but I believe that children born on their land aren't even considered American citizens.

Im quite interested in the Acre republic, as a Brazilian what do you think if it comes back?

@@adrumasahead2815 The Republic of Acre was an initiative of the locals to later be annexed to Brazil, as happened with Texas in the United States. I am very surprised that we do not know statistics on the use of the Spanish language in the State, since it previously belonged to Bolivia.

Interesting to think if the Pueblos around the southwest are/were “countries”. They were definitely self sufficient and had their own culture, language, and customs. I see no reason not to call them nation states but I doubt they viewed themselves as such.

@@milkshakesnail8008 What do you think it means for people to view themselves as a "nation state"? Many people (who I think view the past world as basically Europe) say the concept of a "nation state" basically didn't exist until "nationalism" supposedly appeared in the 19th century and that before then there were only "states" that weren't "nations". "Nation state" seems like a very narrow concept, if so, though I actually totally doubt the premise. In any case, the concept of a "tribe" as a large ethno-geo-graphic entity is basically the same as a "nation", which is why they even call them "first nations" in Canada, and the concept of a "state" basically means any political unit with unified leadership that has significant actual power over the land and people it governs. I suspect many or most, though certainly not all, states north of Mexico were usually smaller than anything good to call a nation in post-contact times, but that's potentially just like city states in Greece or Germany, and there were plenty of nations that were small and even states that could at least arguably be called multi-national. That being said, some things that might look like states might not be because of the nature of the political organization, such as the Wabanak confederacy (around Maine and New Brunswick) which was one of I think at least several examples of what could be called Native American anarchism.

State of Franklin - what an interesting place...! In 1784, sought independence / secession. In 1861, sought to remain in the union. ...and was the homestead of the post civil war President of the United States, Andrew Johnson. Can you imagine? 5 days after the surrender of General Lee, the US was led by a man proudly from a Confederate State... about a year before Tennessee was re-admitted into the Union. Definitely a place and people that hold true to their values.

@@heliosgnosis2744 The Seminole tribe of Florida is a sovereign nation. They have their own government, and they do not pay taxes of any kind to the state or federal government. The Seminoles and the State of Florida have a “revenue share agreement.” This agreement has the seminoles paying 12%-15% to be the only casino operators in the state, and offer slots, poker, and banked card games (like blackjack). The Seminoles have stopped paying their portion of the revenue share agreement twice as a result of the state allowing non-Seminole casinos to operate, thereby violating the Seminoles’ exclusivity deal that was part of the revenue share agreement.

For quite some time, the rest of the country was perfectly content to leave the "desert" of Deseret to the Mormons, believing the land to be essentially worthless. Then silver, copper, nickel, and other metals, along later with coal, were discovered, and suddenly the "Gentiles" (and yes, in the now largely-discarded practice, a Jew could be a "Gentile" in Utah) got quite interested in the place. President Lincoln, who did not care much for the Mormons, allowed the miners that were working the Comstock Lode in Silver City to break away from Deseret as the Nevada territory, and, even though it had but 10K persons, instead of the some 60K that Congress usually required for a state to be viable, it was admitted about three months prior to the 1864 election...the State constitution being transmitted via telegraph at a cost of over $4,000! Nevada further cut into the Utah territory in 1866 over the protests of the Utahns, bringing in what are now the present cities of Elko, Wells, and Ely, though at the time, they were practically rail watering stops only. FWIW, it also got the part of the Arizona Territory west and north of the Colorado river to the Utah-Nevada line, which was essentially most of present-day Clark County. Just imagine...Las Vegas, AZ! The remainder of Deseret beyond Utah's present borders was likewise excised off to Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Idaho, and even parts of SE Oregon, but with the exception of present-day SE Idaho, save for the Native Americans already there, which were quite few, there was little interest in settling those areas on the part of the Mormons.

The Articles of Confederation were not based on any indigenous Indian groups. The compact was one among sovereign nations, and the Congress was based on England's parliamentary system.

The change came as a result of a transformation from a constitutional republic into a tyrannical empire where the Constitution of the United Stats is largely ignored.

It was after the Civil War that the federal government started seizing increasing control. Before that secession was always a danger.

The Free Republic of Franklin, better known as the State of Franklin (or simply Franklin), was a sovereign nation. John Sevier sought recognition by Spain for the new republic. Spain did provide him and his family with Spanish passports and a small fortune in gold, but did not officially recognize this new State. Spain was already in negotiations with the then self-styled United States to wage war against England (for in this they found common cause) and recognizing Franklin could have caused diplomatic issues since North Carolina also claimed the region.

Some people in Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho wanted to create the State of Franklin, Northern Idaho was unhappy because they were isolated and ignored by Southern Idaho where Boise is and most of the population while Eastern Washington wanted secede because it at liberal Western Washington exist in different universes.

Yes! I'm a descendant of John Sevier and his second wife, Bonny Kate.

If America was like Russia, the Navajo nation, or the Cherokee nation would be states, same way as Tatarstan, Buryatia, Kalmykia, Ingushetia, Shaka...so different tribes in the U.S. would have different states. But the Navajo nation is divided among four states...

You mean gold and bigotry was the reason for dissolving it. The walk out was a result, not a cause.

Well, the Nation is back and stronger than before

That's what happens when two factions war and one losses. Just ask the survivors of the tribes the Cherokee massacred over the years.

@@Sandlin22 They also fought a Civil War between opposing factions that was within the US Civil War

The USA had zero interest in Cherokee land until gold was discovered in Dahlonega or near there. Then suddenly, the civilized Cherokee were no longer human, & the USA had a desperate need to annex their land. It's the part of Christianity where you destroy your neighbor to take his gold, found somewhere in Acts.

( California) But that was not the only union state that still had slave after the end of the Civil War. To include black slaves. Yeah, you didn't learn that. You assumed that only the CSA had slaves. And that all slaves were freed in the US during the Civil War. In truth, all formal CSA states gave up thier black slaves prior to the union states giving up thier black slaves. I say black slaves, because there are others not black. That were slaves and kept past 1910. I know, you think Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. Did this as many do. Nope. The union slave states didn't free black slaves until all the Confederacy did. The Civil War was no more over slavery then the Gulf War was over babies. Yeap there is a sliver of truth to both those. But its not the major reason for either.

howdy, Sam. the State or Republic of Franklin/ Frankland was formed in what are now 7 counties in East Tennessee. our capital was Jonesboro. after a year as an independent republic, we were almost a state twice; once in the early 1790s, and the second time just before the secession of Tennessee during the Civil War.

@the dread tyger if I recall Franklin was not part of the Confederacy. It stood as an independent state.

@@justmenotyou3151 the issue of Secession was largely opposed in most of what was once Franklin, as it was in many places in the South. several of my forebears fought for the Union.

When Tennessee proceeded to leave the Union this entire end of the state tried to secede from Tennessee and remain with the union, except for one county. We were quickly invaded by the Confederacy. That didn't stop pro-union locals from sabotaging infrastructure, i.e. railroads. They were executed by the Confederacy. In Greene county there is a federal monument to the bridge burners.

Excellent synopsis.

No texas had its own currency but it was short lived

Deseret also had its own currency for a short while, instituted by the Deseret Currency Association. It was backed up by livestock instead due to the low amounts of gold and silver.

You might want to look up the Mormon War of 1857-1858. Mormons who settled Utah were not too keen on allowing non-Mormons appointed by Washington to run the territory. Mormon militia attacked US Army troops assigned to the territory and on September 11, 1857 they massacured a California bound wagon train. Through the fall and into the spring the Mormon militia attacked US Army posts in the Utah Territory. In June 1858 President Buchanan offered the Mormons a pardon in exchange for accepting the authority of the US government. Utah would remain under military occupation until the territory legislature agreed to a speration between the government and the LDS Church.

@@erwin669 the Utah War was more of a cold war, very little, if any, actual engagements took place. unfortunately the Mountain Meadows Massacre did happen and is inexcusable but be careful you don't accidentally buy into anti Mormon propaganda

@@erwin669 Wow, do you have your facts wrong! 1) The Mountain Meadows Massacre was committed by people from a single town without any approval from any higher level of leadership in the territory. They were in fact told to let them go, but the return message arrived too late. 2) No army posts were ever attacked. 3) No such pardon offer was ever made, especially since the Territory had always accepted the authority of the U. S. Government. While Brigham Young was an unpopular territorial Governor in D.C., he peaceful stepped down when he was replaced. 4) Federal troops were only sent by Buchanan due to false rumors and incomplete information in an extremely embarrassing move by the President. The troops left shortly after arrival once they saw for themselves that there was no reason for them to be there.

I noticed he said "The United States are" which is incorrect. Before the Civil War people said the United States are because people felt more a part of their State than the country. After the Confederacy was defeated, it gradually shifted to "The United States is" because people grasped the concept that this is one country and if it we don't want it to "perish from the Earth" we need to be more loyal to that country than the State.

@@CastleWright They were right. The nation has to be held together by people who want to be together. But each state is or should be sovereign, and was until the so-called "civil war" which wasn't even a civil war. A civil war is two or more factions fighting over control of the same country. In the 1860s, it was one country invading another who was defending itself from invaders.

@@cheapbastard990 Your opinion has no basis in fact. Legally you are wrong. The Constitution gives the power over legal matters to the Supreme Court which ruled in Texas v White that states do not have the unilateral power to secede. Morally you are wrong. It is hypocritical for a state to argue it should have the power to secede while holding hostage a people who have no rights at all. Economically you are wrong. When the States attempted to secede they took Federal property they did not compensate the US for. You can't just grab other people's property, declare its yours and run. Historically you are wrong. If in fact the Confederacy was an independent nation, then under the norms nations operated under in the 19th century, the USA had every right to wage war on it, conquer it, and impose any peace it chose on it. Diplomatically you are wrong. No country at that time recognized the Confederacy as an independent nation, but rather a subsection in rebellion. The United States are not a confederation. The United States is one nation with liberty and justice for all.

I was so shocked when he said ka me ya me ah

That was just a group of rebel traitors who received no official diplomatic recognition.

@@closedproject4708 True and they shouldn't count either

@@texasforever7887 The csa was a more legitimate "nation" than palestine imo.

The Karankawa was a miserable tribe that was disliked by the natives, early explorers, the Spanish, Mexicans and settlers alike for practicing cannibalism. They're believed to be Caribs that made it from the islands to South America in the 1600's and began migrating to the north to end up living along the Texas Coastal Bend. They were the only coastal tribe that practiced covering their bodies with shark oil to drive away mosquitos and keep their skin soft. It also made them smell really bad like rotting fish which didn't help them to make friends with other tribes and Anglo newcomers.

"Americans" are all people who live in the American continent, not just in the United States
