Republic of Manitobah

The Republic of Manitobah was a short-lived, unrecognized state founded in June 1867 by Thomas Spence at the town of Portage la Prairie in the Hudson's Bay Company-owned territory of Rupert's Land. In modern times, it is located in what is now the Canadian province of Manitoba. Spence's efforts were ignored by representatives of the company and by the government of Great Britain and Queen Victoria. 
Attempts by Spence to secure admission into Confederation were unsuccessful; however, the Red River Rebellion led by Louis Riel later achieved this goal.
