theoretically: existing only in theory; hypothetical
FED/Lincoln fought a WAR, hundreds of Thousands killed to keep this Country together and TEXAS was a side ISSUE, then, less than 20 years in the UNION. SLAVERY was not an ISSUE in TEXAS like it was in Missouri or Kansas.
Lots of Federal property, OIL, NAT GAS, and dang good people here, who would love to throw off these maggots.
Federal property...what happens with that?
