It was almost a comic opera incident. California did become a state, however, before going through a proper territorial period. <br /><br /><br />The secession discussion that occassionally appears in Cali is over the division of the north and southern parts of the state along the line of the Tehachapi Mountains (this was in discussion since Civil War days at least).Jeffereyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294969786619943530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-348081528816544695.post-57016136879867691042009-05-04T11:41:00.000-04:002009-05-04T11:41:00.000-04:00@Neil - expolding the states was the metaphor I wa...@Neil - expolding the states was the metaphor I was going for there...<br /><br />@paintandink - most of the maps on my site are not mine... except for my Quastolia maps and the United States of Football maps.

(Texas isn't one of them, though.)<br /><br />And I like the pulled apart display. Easier on the eyes for me, personally. <br /><br />Have you ever thought of making prints of your maps?paintandinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00799336378465281025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-348081528816544695.post-68066434997689965932009-05-02T13:36:00.000-04:002009-05-02T13:36:00.000-04:00This would be clearer if the proposed borders were...This would be clearer if the proposed borders were shown on top of the existing US, rather than exploding the states.
