“AZ was settled by Confederate Ex-Pats.”

150 years later that’s of little consequence, particularly considering the hundreds of thousands who’ve moved to AZ in the past 20 years or so. It has more to do with a common sense reaction to living in a sea of illegals that’s being continuously resupplied.

Arizona was settled by the Spanish.

Later the Mormons settled and established many towns in AZ.

True..the territory was included in the south during the civil war but never had any impact since it had very little population other than native Americans.

The Gold and Silver rushes brought many a prospector to AZ from all over the USA and not just confederates as you so point out. So in fact...AZ was a territory that was settled by many people and not just confederates as you so falsely point out.

AZ came about as the result of the Mexican American war where the Mexican Government gave up its northern territories per losing that war.
