Clickable map of all the independent nations on US soil that actually had a piece of real estate.

One example:

Winston, Free State of- Winston County, Alabama was like a lot of Southern counties before the Civil War; its inhabitants were not plantation owners and their slaves, but rather poor white landowners who could not afford slaves. As a result, Winston County had little enthusiasm for the fight- they stood to gain little, and to lose much through the draft and new taxations. For this reason, Winston County's state representative, Christopher Sheets, threatened during a debate that if Alabama could secede from the Union, then Winston County could secede from Alabama. The "Free State of Winston", as it was mockingly called by Alabamans, almost made good on this threat on July 4, 1861. Around 3,000 people showed up for a county convention to discuss a declaration of independence. After a short discussion, cooler heads prevailed- Winston County could not possibly go it alone. A Declaration of Neutrality was instead produced. Although Winston County remained within the Confederacy, even this limited document produced difficulties and several near-riots before the Civil War came to a close.

Besides the relevance to white nationalism, those were just fun to look at. Some of those I'd never heard of. Great link.
