The District of Columbia is also one of the political subdivisions of the United States. I also read somewhere that the Texas dividing into 5 other states is an urban legend, but I can't find it right this second. -- Zoe
- Sorry for a delayed answer, but I just recently noted your comment. The treaty negotiated between Texas and U.S wasn't ratified by U.S., further negotiations produced a congressional Joint Res (JR) in 1844 that supported Texas admission and had the 5 states (actually 4 additional) comment. The pre-admission Texas legislature passed a word for word identical resolution in July, 1844. BUT, when Texas was admitted again after the civil war the whole issue was dropped. Today it would take a building full of lawyers to write briefs on both sides of the can Texas unilateraly subdivide issue. Besides, except for a radical fringe, we don't want to.- Lou I 17:34 25 May 2003 (UTC)
U.S. State
Shouldn't the first letter of "state" in this context be capitalized to distinguish it from state? --Jiang 07:41 30 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Er... Iraq is now a U.S. colony? I gotta turn on the news more often... -- Wapcaplet 19:42 13 Jul 2003 (UTC)
I looked around and couldn't find any corroborating evidence on this; there's some speculation that the Bush administration may want to turn Iraq into a colony. Looks like Mav already reverted it. -- Wapcaplet 19:53 13 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- Is the formal status that Iraq is still an "occupied territory" that is being "administered" by the US-led coalition? Or something else? Martin
I errored the US is the "occupying power" not "colonial power" over Iraq. PeterK
It is the widely held perception that the American Civil War determined that it could not , though a good number of states' rights supporters assert that the American Civil War was conducted illegally or was not a definitive precedent.
I removed everything after "it could not". The secession of a U.S. State is not a serious proposition and its possibility is considered only by a handful of wackos and perhaps a handful of academics with no grasp on reality.
