Even though Vermont and its people fought for independence, and considered themselves Americans, they were not part of the original 13 states. Due to a boundary dispute from New York, Congress failed to recognize Vermont as a state. From 1777-1791 it existed as it's own republic, but most citizens wished for Vermont to join the union, and they later got their wish when it became the 14th state.
