Question: What republic was started because of a dispute in the area The Green Mountain Boys were a militia?

Context paragraphs:
Flag of the Green Mountain Boys: The flag of the Green Mountain Boys began as a regimental flag used by the Green Mountain Boys.  A remnant of a Green Mountain Boys flag, believed to belong to John Stark, is owned by the Bennington Museum.  It still exists as one of the few regimental flags from the American Revolution.  Although Stark was at the Battle of Bennington and likely flew this flag, the battle has become more commonly associated with the Bennington flag, which is believed to be a 19th-century banner.

Vermont National Guard: The Vermont National Guard is composed of the Vermont Army National Guard and the Vermont Air National Guard.  Together, they are collectively known as the Green Mountain Boys, despite the inclusion of women in both branches since the mid-twentieth century.  Both units use the original Revolutionary War era Flag of the Green Mountain Boys as their banner.  Their strength in 2009 was 2,660.

List of Vermont state symbols: The US state Vermont has many symbols, some officially codified by legislation (mineral, flower, bird, beverage, pie, mammal, song, insect, tree, and fish), and several unofficial symbols.  These unofficial symbols of Vermont include maple syrup; the eastern white pine ("Pinus strobus"), which was worn as a badge by the Green Mountain Boys and appears on the Vermont coat of arms and Vermont Military Crest; and the white-tailed deer ("Odocoileus virginianus") also appearing on the state's coat of arms.  The number 14 figures prominentally in the state's history and lore.  The Vermont Republic lasted for fourteen years, the pine tree on the Great Seal of Vermont has fourteen branches, the state has fourteen counties, and Vermont was the fourteenth state in the Union.

Vermont in the American Civil War: During the American Civil War, the State of Vermont continued the military tradition started by the Green Mountain Boys of American Revolutionary War fame, contributing a significant portion of its eligible men to the war effort.

Green Mountain Reservoir: Green Mountain Reservoir lies at the northern end of Summit County, Colorado along the Blue River.  The Green Mountain Dam was built between 1938 and 1942 by the United States Bureau of Reclamation.  The reservoir and its dam store water to benefit Colorado's Western Slope.  Created by President Roosevelt as part of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project in 1937, Green Mountain was the first facility to be constructed.  This is because it represents a great compromise that made the C-BT project possible: it compensates the Western Slope for water diverted to cities in Northern Colorado from Granby Reservoir further upstream on the Colorado River.  Water from Green Mountain Dam is released either over the spillway, through the dam, or through the hydroelectric powerplant at the dam's base.  The Green Mountain Power Plant has the capacity to generate up to 21,000 kilowatts, using two generators.  Combined with the other five Federal power plants on the C-BT, enough electricity is produced annually to power almost 60,000 American homes.

Green Mountain Boys: The Green Mountain Boys were a militia organization first established in the late 1760s in the territory between the British provinces of New York and New Hampshire, known as the New Hampshire Grants (which later became the state of Vermont).  Headed by Ethan Allen and members of his extended family, they were instrumental in resisting New York's attempts to control the territory, over which it had won "de jure" control in a territorial dispute with New Hampshire.

Stickney's Regiment of Militia: Stickney's Regiment of Militia, also known as the 11th New Hampshire Militia Regiment, was at Fort Ticonderoga during the spring of 1777 reinforcing the Continental Army garrison.  The regiment was again called up on July 21, 1777, at Pembroke, New Hampshire for Gen. John Stark's Brigade gathering at Charlestown, New Hampshire during the Saratoga campaign.  Part of Stickney's Regiment under Lt. Col. Nataniel Emerson was sent to Otter Creek on August 4 to clear out any remaining Loyalists.  On August 16, 1777, Stickney's regiment, along with Hale's and Hobart's Regiment, made the main attack on Friedrich Baum's redoubt during the Battle of Bennington as Nichols' attacked from the rear (west) and Simonds' attacked from the south.  Lt. Col. Emerson's detachment arrived along with Seth Warner's Green Mountain Boys in time to rout Heinrich von Breymann's reinforcements.  Stickney's Regiment would continue on in Stark's Brigade to cut off British Gen. John Burgoyne from retreat or supply after the Battle of Freeman's Farm.  The regiment would be disbanded on October 26, 1777, in northern New York.

Green Mountain Wind Energy Center: The Green Mountain Wind Energy Center was a wind power plant near Garrett, Somerset County, Pennsylvania with eight Nordex 1.3 MW turbines that began commercial operation in May 2000.  This was the first commercial wind farm constructed in Pennsylvania.  The wind farm had a combined total nameplate capacity of 10.4 MW and the potential to produce about 27,000 megawatt-hours of electricity annually, enough to power 3,300 homes, assuming a 30% capacity factor.  The wind farm was developed by National Wind Power of the UK, now part of NPower Renewables, operated by NextEra Energy Resources, based in Florida.  Energy from the wind farm was purchased and sold by Green Mountain Energy based in Texas, and was the first commercial wind farm for Green Mountain Energy.  In 2016 the wind farm was dismantled and replaced with new battery technology.

Jonas Fay: Jonas Fay (January 17, 1737 -- March 6, 1818) was a military and political leader of Vermont during its period as an independent republic, and during the early years of its statehood.  Born in Massachusetts, he served in the militia during the French and Indian War, studied medicine, and became a physician.  His father moved to Vermont during its formative years, and Jonas Fay moved with him.  Fay was active in the Green Mountain Boys and their resistance to New York's efforts to assume jurisdiction over Vermont.  In 1775, he served as physician for the contingent of Green Mountain Boys that captured Fort Ticonderoga.

New Hampshire Grants: The New Hampshire Grants or Benning Wentworth Grants were land grants made between 1749 and 1764 by the colonial governor of the Province of New Hampshire, Benning Wentworth.  The land grants, totaling about 135 (including 131 towns), were made on land claimed by New Hampshire west of the Connecticut River, territory that was also claimed by the Province of New York.  The resulting dispute led to the eventual establishment of the Vermont Republic, which later became the U.S. state of Vermont.
