Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Green Mountain Boys initially formed as a militia group in the 1760s in the territory between the British provinces of New York and New Hampshire. The group was primarily composed of settlers and land speculators who had obtained land grants from New Hampshire and were opposed by New York authorities who also claimed the area. Their activities were largely focused on resisting the efforts of New York authorities to exert control over the region, which eventually became the state of Vermont. This resistance often involved armed conflict and can be characterized as actions of "outlaw warriors" enraged over land disputes.
