  1. Until I retired, I was a lifelong resident of Vermont. We certainly knew this history, having learned it in grade school, and many people, even today, fly the Vermont Republic flag, green with a blue field in the corner and 13 stars for the thirteen counties of Vermont, and wish for it to be the official state flag. FWIW, many people do not know Maine was part of Massachusetts either. Burlington (in Chittenden County) was a significant fort on Lake Champlain and played a key role in the War of 1812. The cannons of the fort are still there in "Battery Park" Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys are cultural heroes and the Vermont National Guard and Air Guard are still called "The Green Mountain Boys". Their headquarters is at Ft. Ethan Allen.
