5. yeah, you are mistaken

Vermont was cut from New York by New Hampshire land speculators. In fact, the first Congress passed a law outlawing Vermont, which was threatening to split from the US and join Canada. Congress passed it, but President Washington refused to enforce it. He basically did not want to take on the Green Mountain Boys on their home turf.

While I have been to Maine, and thus through both Vermont and New Hampshire. I have never been to Massachusetts.

I think of it as a cool place, historically, but currently far, far too packed with people to be enjoyable to this rural midwest hick. I like to be able to drive down a road and see something like 5 cars every ten minutes. Otherwise I am spitting fire about all the bleepity bleep traffic.
