Vermont. New York and New Hampshire fought over the area that is now Vermont (then called the New Hampshire Grants), and eventually, in 1764, New York won.

The victory was short-lived, however. While New Hampshire and New York were fighting over Vermont (the New Hampshire Grants), the governor of New Hampshire had gone ahead and sold pieces of the land to settlers, some of whom founded towns on the land.

When New York won the battle over the New Hampshire Grants, it declared that all land sales made there by the New Hampshire governor were invalid. In other words, New York reclaimed all the land the settlers bought for itself.

The settlers rebelled against New York's government, and in 1777 set up the Republic of Vermont -- essentially making Vermont into an independent country -- which later joined the Union and became the U.S. state of Vermont.
