<div id="ygrps-yiv-874677154">bus&ss p122 says<br/>
in digest<br/>
congress consented to the erection of texas to statehood<br/>
provided it  meaning congress  retained the right to erect up to 4 new <br/>
states from the territory of the republic of texas<br/>
  & provided texas then consented to their erection<br/>
<br/>
it then goes on to say verbatim<br/>
texas does not appear to have acquired by this proviso any advantages over <br/>
other states<br/>
as it merely can give its consent to a division of its area<br/>
the right to make the commendation or request for the division apparently <br/>
resting with congress<br/>
<br/>
of course parts of 5 states<br/>
new mexico<br/>
oklahoma<br/>
kansas<br/>
colorado<br/>
wyoming<br/>
have already been made of the original texas<br/>
<br/>
perhaps a violation of the law that says only up to 4<br/>
<br/>
but not a single whole state has actually been erected<br/>

&gt;Few things.<br/>
&gt;First of all, Texas can split into five states or<br/>
&gt;probably the correct way to put is four states can<br/>
&gt;secede out of it.<br/>
&gt;The Bahraini piece in Qatar originate from the ghost<br/>
&gt;town of Zubara, which Bahraini has claimed since way<br/>
&gt;back yonder.  Though before the British came in, it<br/>
&gt;was just a tax dispute, it became a land dispute<br/>
&gt;afterwards.<br/>
&gt;The special thing about Hawaii is that it was the only<br/>
&gt;place that was a separate kingdom before becoming<br/>
&gt;American.  Damn those Doles.<br/>
