Vermont (Alternity)

Vermont (VT) is a state located in the northeastern region of the United States. Admitted to the Union as the 14th state on March 4, 1791, Vermont was originally both an unrecognized sovereign republic and territory of the state of New York, and served as a supply base for the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, as well as a staging point for Acadian guerrillas fighting British troops in what is today northern Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. The state capital of Montpelier is the second largest city while the largest city of Sherbrooke (pop. 207,000) is both a popular tourist destination due to local ski resorts and contains Vermont's largest concentration of universities.
