Jefferson Territory
The Provisional Government of the Territory of Jefferson was an extralegal and unrecognized United States territory that existed in the Pike's Peak mining region from October 24, 1859, until it yielded to the new Territory of Colorado on June 6, 1861. The Jefferson Territory, named for Founding Father and third United States president Thomas Jefferson, included land officially part of the Kansas Territory, the Nebraska Territory, the New Mexico Territory, the Utah Territory, and the Washington Territory, but the region was remote from the governments of those five territories. The government of the Jefferson Territory, while democratically elected, was never legally recognized by the United States government, although it managed the territory with relatively free rein for 19 months. Many of the laws enacted by the General Assembly of the Territory of Jefferson were reenacted and given official sanction by the new Colorado General Assembly in 1861. Origins On August 25, 1 ...

Jefferson (proposed Southern State)
Texas divisionism refers to historical and contemporary movements advocating for the division of the State of Texas into as many as five states; a provision included in the resolution admitting the former Republic of Texas into the Union in 1845. The concept originates from the conditions of Texas's annexation by the United States in 1845, which included a provision allowing for the potential creation of up to five states from its territory. Throughout the 19th century, various proposals were made to divide Texas for political, administrative, or economic reasons, though none succeeded (Yale Law School Avalon Project, 1845). While serious efforts waned in the 20th century, the idea has occasionally resurfaced in modern political discourse. However, any actual division of Texas would require approval by both the Texas Legislature and the United States Congress; making such a change highly unlikely under current political conditions. Historical Background When Texas was annexed i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jefferson (proposed Pacific State)
The State of Jefferson is a proposed U.S. state that would span the contiguous, mostly rural area of Southern Oregon and Northern California, where several attempts to separate from Oregon and California, respectively, have taken place. The region encompasses most of Northern California's land but does not include San Francisco or other Bay Area counties that account for the majority of Northern California's population. Historians and locals cite Thomas Jefferson's status as the primary author of the United States Declaration of Independence, Declaration of Independence as the origin of the name for the proposed state, with the line "governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed" as evidence of a breakdown of the social contract between the state governments and the region's population. If the proposal were ever approved, the new state's capital city would have to be determined by a State constitution (United States), constitu ...
