Why do you lie and say I'm afraid to post that? I already posted that and it's even in my quote that you replied to from earlier.
You deliberately ellided the portion that shows South Caronlina retained legal jurisdiction over the property. That's because you're a craven hosebag who knows the facts don't support your lies.
Meanwhile, your attempted deflection failed you -- despite your abject ignorance about that land being "property," I showed you that South Carolina referred to it as "territory."
The context of the sentence makes it clear they meant it purely in the sense of land. Notice in the last sentence it refers to the area as land, not territory.
Territory Define Territory at Dictionary.com
territory
noun, plural territories.
1.any tract of land; region or district.
Furthermore, they refer to it in the sense meaning it's Carolina territory. Nowhere do they say the land is to become Federal territory. They only say it will become the property if the federal government.
Notice further than the first sentence says that Caroline is turning over "
TITLE" to the property. If it was going to become the territory of the federal government, why would it need a title?
The state of Virginia performed a similar transaction with the federal government. The text of that agreement is as follows:
"Whereas Robert T. Lincoln, Secretary of War of the United States, has made application to this General Assembly, for its consent to the purchase by authorities of the United States of a tract of land described as follows: [legal description deleted]; therefore,
"1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia, That the consent of this state is hereby given to the purchase of said tract of land, but this consent is given subject to the following terms and conditions, to wit: That this State retains concurrent jurisdiction with the United States over said tract of land, so that courts, magistrates and officers of this state may take cognizance , execute such process, and discharge such legal functions within the same as me be not incompatible with the consent hereby given.
"2. That said tract of land and the buildings now or that may be hereafter erected thereon, and any property of the United States, on such tract, are hereby exempted from all taxes imposed by this state, or by the constituted authorities of Alexandria County, and this exemption shall be in force from the date of said purchase by the United States, …and shall continue only so long as the United States shall be and remain the owner of said tract of land; and all taxes, and county, township and district levies, due or claimed to be due, for, against or upon said real estate since the same went into possession of and has been held and used by the United States authorities, as aforesaid, are hereby released and discharged."
Note that Virginia also explicitly stated that it retained jurisdiction of the "land" purchased by the federal government. Note that the document also refers to the federal government as the "owner" of the land, as in any other entity owning property in the state.
Why should anyone believe that the South Carolina agreement was intended to be fundamentally different than the Virginia agreement?
