04 March - Vermont became the 14th state of the United States.

 

Vermont became the 14th state of the United States on 04 March 1791. Prior to its admission to the Union, Vermont was an independent republic for 14 years, known as the Vermont Republic, from 1777 to 1791. The state played a significant role in the early history of the United States, particularly during the Revolutionary War.

Vermont's entry into the Union was a result of the Vermont Republic's decision to seek admission as a state. The process was completed when President George Washington signed the act for Vermont's admission into the United States on February 18, 1791. Consequently, Vermont officially joined the Union on 04 March 1791, as the 14th state.
