"How can a state be readmitted to a union it never was considered to have left? Lawyers can be on all sides of any question. Stan"
Never saw it discussed on this board before, but I have on occasion came a cross a couple of sites that tell of 4 states that were refused re-admission to the Union. I know Mississippi was one, I think the others were Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee. Don't know a lot about the situation having only read it briefly sometime ago. Anyway it is food for another thread.
