Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Formed by land speculators and settlers who used threats, intimidation and violence to eventually earn statehood for their homeland in 1791, they gained their most enduring fame, not for those exploits against New Yorkers, but for fighting the British at Bennington and Ticonderoga, under Seth Warner, John Stark, and their founder.
