The United States of North America 1784 Treaty.
TITLE/CONTENT OF MAP: 'The United States of North America with the British territories and those of Spain according to the Treaty of 1784'
"Franklinia - the new State of Franklin" is marked on the map, located in what is today Eastern Tennessee. Franklinia was an unrecognized and autonomous territory, created in 1784 from part of the territory west of the Appalachian Mountains that had been offered by North Carolina as a cession to Congress to help pay off debts related to the American War for Independence. It was founded with the intent of becoming the fourteenth state of the new United States. It's first capital was Jonesborough. After the summer of 1785, the government of Franklin (by then based in Greeneville), ruled as a "parallel government" running alongside (but not harmoniously with) a re-established North Carolina bureaucracy. Franklin was never admitted into the union. The extra-legal state existed for only about four and a half years until 1788, ostensibly as a republic, after which North Carolina re-assumed full control.
