Spoiler Alert: This is about the events that led to the Calisota Claim.

It was Febuary 22, 1732 (the day George Washington was born) Alicota/Calisota was founded by Daniel Murphy. During the mid-1730s, the settlement was ruled by New France. The settlement contains a farm. Native Americans lived there. During the Revolutionary War, the settlement was destroyed. In 1785, the settlement was rebuilt with gravestones remembering those who died in the war. During the late 1850s, The U.S. Constitution signed a treaty for the Alicota Territory to be created, While at Supreme Court, Allen Newburg (born April 19th 1820) was shot and killed by a sniper Harvey Jackson (born in the same date like Allen Newburg) as he was announcing that the Alicota Territory will be established in the early 1860s. In the early 1860s, Alicota Territory was established 2 months after the assassination, (suggesting that he was killed in November 6, 1859 and Alicota Territory was established on January 26, 1860.) A town was also named after Allen Newburg. During Civil War, Slaves in Alicota used the railroads to get to the free states, They also fought in the war leaving 420 people fighting from Alicota dead. Today, Newburg Cemetery has honored those who fought during the war. In the late 1880s, The Supreme Court says that the name Alicota will be changed to Calisota (to reference the Alicota controversy) which makes it Calisota Territory to avoid confusion with the other state name Alicota. One person was arrested (and executed in February 15th, 1900) for threatening to kill everybody in America if Alicota was changed to Calisota. During the 1900s, an event called the Calisota Claim occurred. The U.S Constitution signed a treaty for Calisota to became a state in 1912. The day after Alicota changed to Calisota, Alicota was claimed in the Western United States as a small state. As a result, Interstate 47 runs through Louisiana for a couple of miles today.
