I meant the ability to break from the United States to become it's own State again. Up until the Civil War, Texas was the only state that could legally leave the Union and be 'the United States of Texas' again. If memory serves, and I don't swear it does, Texas also had to give up the option of breaking into 5 separate states at the same time.

>>Funny, that's one of the things that Texas had to give up to be allowed back into the Union after the Civil War (or, if you prefer, the War of Northern Aggression ;-))
