D. government collapsed as conflicts intensified

After Congress denied admission, the Franklin government weakened amid internal dissent and conflicts with North Carolina and local Native American groups. By 1788 its institutions had effectively collapsed, North Carolina reasserted control, the land reverted to U.S. authority, and parts were later incorporated into Tennessee in 1796.
