Prior to becoming the 14th state in the US, Vermont was an independent nation for 14 years. Today, it is one of the least populated states and Vermont’s capital, Montpelier, is the smallest state capital in the US. The state’s dairy population ratio, however, is the highest in the US. Vermont was the first state to outlaw adult slavery, in 1777, when it was still an independent state. In addition, Vermont is the first state to graduate an African American college student.
