What was the first state to enter the union after the original thirteen?
Before 1791, Vermont was a territory claimed by New York and New Hampshire, but on the 1st of March Vermont joined the Union, becoming the first state after the thirteen colonies. Vermont was also the first territory where the slavery was partially abolished. Nowadays the state is the second least populous state in the US after Wyoming. Vermont is popular for its picturesque ski and fishing areas, great landscapes and well-developed tourism industry, which brings great income.

Diane Johnson, New Hampshire was one of the original 13 colonies. They ratified the Constitution in 1788.

Remember from 5th grade history, remember Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain boys capturing Fort Ticonderoga. There was conflict whether Vermont belonged to New Hampshire or NY. The new state Vermont was the result.
