Pretty interesting! Did you know that Australia was originally soposed to be several different countries? In 1901, they decided to join up and become one country. Thats why each state has a different railway gague, which causes a lot of problems today.

Hanna-Barbera's choice of Ruff and Reddy as their first characters now makes complete sense. Thanks for today's rabbit hole.

I live near Rough And Ready and had no idea. Idk if they could ever have been a country, they dont even have a grocery store

You and your channel is awesome and they used to teach this in school in the North Eastern USA until about 1989 until they cut it way back and lumped it in with three other courses in the Western Pennsylvania school system.😉

I've been in Rough and Ready, 1982, when visiting a friend in Penn Valley, Grass Valley.

What prompts did you use to generate those historical paintings?

That Walker guy definitely deserves his own video. Absolute madlad challenged the authority of two nations with just 45 men behind his back.

Terrifying AI art, thank you

The real reason the Republic of Rough & Ready called it quits was so they could get unfettered access to the Szabo Vineyards up there.

This video is misnamed as it deals almost exclusively with the USA, nor does it mention the Republic of Vermont. I wondered why the US had not tried to take Baha California as part of its later acquisitions and see there was at let a private attempt to do so. However, really apart from the Canadian colonies which confederated there is no mention of Newfoundland which did not join up in 1867 and remained independent as a Commonwealth Dominion until it joined Canada in 1948. Newfoundland therefore had national battle honours in WW1 and WW2 alongside Australia, South Africa, NZ and Canada.

Because it was self proclaimed, not recognised, nor did it do the things that countries actually do. Texas had currency, an army and navy, embassies/legations at home and abroad, and was recognised by several major world powers. Ditto Hawai'i.

@@YukonGhibli Vermont had its own currency, militia, constitution, governor, elections, etc. It wasn't recognized because the land was still claimed by New York and the other 13 colonies did not want to admit it to the union. It sure wasn't part of New York at that point, so what was it then?
