Free State
South African province
Free State appears in several proper names.
The Irish Free State (1922–1937) was the predecessor to the Republic of Ireland.
In South Africa, Free State is a province in the central region.
In American history, Free State often refers to anti-slavery Kansas before the Civil War: Free State settlers clashed with pro-slavery forces. (Lowercase free state is any self-governing or non-slaveholding territory.)
