Скачать или смотреть The Failed State of Franklin: America’s Forgotten 14th State (1784–1789)

In 1784, deep in the Appalachian frontier, settlers declared independence from North Carolina and tried to create their own nation — the State of Franklin.

Led by John Sevier, these pioneers wrote a constitution, built a government, and even asked Congress to join the United States as the 14th state. But in just four years, their dream collapsed into rebellion, feuds, and forgotten history.

Discover how the State of Franklin became one of America’s strangest failed experiments in self-rule — a forgotten chapter that shaped the birth of Tennessee and tested the young Republic’s limits.
