What do you mean, recovering yankee?!?! :)

Perhaps Texas can claim Staten Island as part of it!!

North Carolina used to claim what's now Tennessee, but we live in the first "overmountain" section to claim its independence from NC (and, incidentally, from Britain), "The State of Franklin."

This is the old "Watauga Settlement" which the settlers bought fair and square from the Cherokees before the American War of Independence. Though Dragging Canoe thought Attakullakulla was drunk when he signed.
