Kingsport, TN: Boatyard to Model City Ep. 1 - Franklin State History (Documentary Series)
Channel: Cantaloupe Jones
Date: 2023-11-13

Locate the shadowy territory that went even further than the Transylvania Company, going so far as to create their own State in the days after the Revolution within the borderlands of North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, called the State of Franklin, along with the long forgotten Old Southwest Territory (The Territory South of the River Ohio) where founding fathers John Sevier, Andrew Jackson and William Blount, a stiff Tory land baron, developed and flourished their respective political careers

Contact the last days of the Chickamauga where their refusal of their land cession negotiations on their hunting grounds etched their fate in the shrouded books of antiquity on Kingsport, TN: Boatyard to Model City Episode One - Franklin State History

The final nail in Franklin’s coffin was driven in March 1788 when the Chickamauga, Chickasaw, and several other tribes joined in coordinated attacks on frontier settlements in Franklin. Desperate to raise a viable army, Governor Sevier arranged for a loan from the government of Spain. However, the agreement required Franklin to be placed under Spanish rule. To North Carolina, that was the final deal-breaker.

Strongly opposed to allowing a foreign government to control an area they considered to be part of their state, North Carolina officials arrested Governor Sevier in August 1788.

Though his supporters quickly freed him from the poorly-protected local jail, Sevier soon turned himself in.

Franklin met its final end in February 1789, when Sevier and his few remaining loyalists signed oaths of allegiance to North Carolina. By the end of 1789, all of the lands that had been part of the “lost state” rejoined North Carolina.
