Edited on Tue Feb-15-05 02:27 PM by pres2032

Which two US states are the only ones to have a rebellion among itself and actually form two rival governments?

i have class now, but i'll be back at 4 to check answers. keep this kicked!!

here's some hints, both were before the civil war and one is currently a blue state.

14. The Toledo wars?

Although I'm not sure on how far that got. I think one man was killed, and most of the men got lost in the swamps.
Oh well..

15. Rhode Island and Virginia/West Virginia

Not sure if the division of VA involved rival governments, but there was once a democratic rebellion in Rhode Island which declared the state government illegal/obsolete.
