<div id="ygrps-yiv-1301840894">There were two retrocessions one large,  one more recent and really <br/>
small - I have the texts of the laws placing this into effect - if <br/>
anyone wants to see them.  The reasoning is contained in the texts.  I <br/>
work for DC government, and can get anyone who wnts this, details to <br/>
the nth degree about the subject.<br/>

&gt; &gt; thanks.  and do you know why?<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; i believe it was always a sort of back lot & never really got <br/>
developed anything like the left bank did<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; so eventually congress voted to give it back to virginia in order to <br/>
end the pointless federal responsibility for it<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt;   provided its free white male citizens would agree<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt;     which they did by a vote of 763 to 222<br/>
&gt; <br/>
