MethodNotAllowedHttpException in Laravel 5

Routes.php

Route::post('deactivatecountry', array(
            'as'   => 'deactivatecountry', 
            'uses' => 'CountriesController@deactivateCountry'
));
Route::post('deactivatestate', array(
            'as'   => 'deactivatestate', 
            'uses' => 'StatesController@deactivateState'
));

Javascript

function deactivateCountry(country_id) {
    if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
        xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    } else {
        xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    }
    xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
        if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {}
    }
    xmlhttp.open("POST","deactivatecountry", true);
    xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    xmlhttp.send("country_id=" + country_id);
}

function deactivateState(state_id) {
    if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
        xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    } else {
        xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    }
    xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
        if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {}
    }

    xmlhttp.open("POST","deactivatestate", true);
    xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    xmlhttp.send("state_id=" + state_id);
}

When the deactivateCountry function in my javascript is called, the code works perfectly fine. It calls the deactivateCountry method in the CountriesController and it deactivates the country as expected.

But when I call the deactivateState function, it throws a MethodNotAllowedHttpException and I have no idea why.

Both the country and the state have the same route and the functions are similar but one is working and the other is not.

Can somebody please help me with this? I have been sitting on this for a couple of hours now and I'm not able to figure out why this is happening

Here is the error that I am getting when I call the deactiveState method

@MarcinNabiałek and @lukasgeiter. Thank you both for your time and patience with this question. I have been able to solve the problem. The change I made was in the javascript

function deactivateCountry(country_id) {
    if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
        xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    } else {
        xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    }
    xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
        if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {}
    }
    xmlhttp.open("POST","/deactivatecountry", true);
    xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    xmlhttp.send("country_id=" + country_id);
}

function deactivateState(state_id) {
    if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
        xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    } else {
        xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    }
    xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
        if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {}
    }

    xmlhttp.open("POST","/deactivatestate", true);
    xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    xmlhttp.send("state_id=" + state_id);
}

I added a / in front of the route. So in xmlhttp.open I changed it from xmlhttp.open("POST","deactivatestate", true); to xmlhttp.open("POST","/deactivatestate", true);

I got to this position when I checked the POST url which xmlhttp was requesting and i was different from the one I had specified which is why Laravel was assuming that it was a GET request instead of a POST.
