It was a Federal Territory.
Of course it was Federal land!
So all federal territory is federal land, all federal land is federal territoty?
Puerto Rico and Guam are on the same legal footing as Camp David and Fort Knox? .
Territorys and the people in them can form states to self govern and have rights equal to all other states...
Random federal own land can not form states and do not self govern in any form..its federal private property
