[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has zero, absolutely zero, justification for becoming a state. It's creation from parts of Maryland and Virginia was intentional as a federal district, and nothing more. It can lobby to go back to Maryland if it would like.[/quote] yes but when it was created as said federal district, no free white men were intended to be resident within the district, it was intended to have a colored servant population in residence to serve the needs of government officials who were officially domiciled elsewhere, there was no notion that federal government would grow to have the several, permanent administrative functions staffed by people who have been granted the franchise. Income tax was also cruel and unusual but buying a selling people wasn't, the founding fathers were quite brilliant but they didn't foresee everything. [/quote]
