Thanks for the article on the lost State of Franklin. I grew up in Elizabethton (near Johnson City) so I'm very familiar with the history of the State of Franklin. It is a beautiful area filled with scenic wonder but it is economically depressed. I still visit friends and family there, but I haven't lived in the area since 2001. Go Bucs!
All states are created based on common languages, culture and among other factors within India, several more states were created out of the existing 18 larger ones, to present twenty-four.
My own state of Goa was deciding such a move to either join neighbours, Maharashtra or Karnataka, a move decided against by native voters, and today is one of the the smallest.
Culturally very distinct as the language is different from either two, and so are the people different from the rest of India.
There is a replica of the capital of Franklin in Greeneville, TN (which is where I grew up) it's a shack, but as a kid I thought it was really interesting.
It’s worth noting the extensive area of Franklin designated as Cherokee Lands, already a sore point for both sides of that divide and it only identifies a portion of Cherokee territories

Interesting, thanks. I love learning new things by accident, often as a sidebar: So.... that's where the Cherokee lived.
