I'm such a huge history buff it's not even funny, but I feel like the wttt fandom needs to put the civil war and revolutionary war aside and maybe focus on OTHER wars. ESPECIALLY and i mean ESPECIALLY the Yankee-Pennamite Wars cause fucking christ I love talking about them
Some side context was that from 1769-1784 there were disputes between Connecticut and Pennsylvania over the wyoming valley—which caused three major wars between the two.
One of the funny things about it was that Connecticuts claim was on the other side of New York—clearly in what is now northern Pennsylvania and even expanded out into a piece of Ohio (not existent at the time) which had it touching Lake Erie.
Connecticut was labeled as Yankee—while Pennsylvania was labeled as Pennamite: hence the name Yankee-Pennamite Wars.
There were three. fucking. wars.
Yeah no I dont think they got over them wars,,, they probably still are pissed at eachother and sometimes the other og 13 bring it up to tease them lmaoo 😭😭
