Best-Worst-Last-First Whatever Lists

wasn't a war fought about the limits of states rights though?

Yes, the "war between the States" aka the Civil War was fought over States rights.

However, Texas was a Constitutional Republic that was won away from Mexico and then later admitted to the Union. Most of the states of the Union were territorial acquisitions...where the populations of those territories voted for statehood.

I don't believe in UFOs for the record.

Why Not?

Intelligent beings than can cross light years of interstellar space and then spend their time making cryptic designs in crop fields, kidnapping cows or the occasional trailer park resident and yet can't seem to find a single world leader?
