Vermont came close to rejoining the UK over the territorial fight with NY. Had the timing been different, Yorktown surrender and NY hadn't agreed to compromise, we might have ended up as Canada's strange little appendage. Lots of Quebec ties as it is, particularly in the NEK and the Champlain Valley. And there was that whole thumbing their nose at Jefferson and continuing to trade illicitly with British Canada. Smuggler's Notch isn't called that because it's a cutsie name for the tourist trade.
