Western North Carolina and East Tennessee needs to be its own state. We can call it
State_of_Franklin State_of_Franklin
.

East Tennessee has done it before and I will like to see us do it again.

History
- North Carolina cedes Washington District (Tennessee) to Federal Government April 1784
- Secedes from North Carolina and blocks Federal Government claims; Franklin proclaimed August 23 1784
- Petition for Frankland statehood sent to Congress May 16, 1785
- Provisional name changed back to Franklin Dec 24, 1785
- Disbanded; and re-acquired by North Carolina
