[edit] The Republic of Colorado

I was sitting next to a nutter on a plane from Colorado, and he was telling me that "technically" Colorado is an independent republic, as it has never formally accepted the offer of statehood from the U.S. Congress. It was an interesting story, but I can't find any evidence to support it. Does anyone have any information that might give a clue as to the basis for such a claim? I suspect that any notional claim to independence would have been abandoned after they have sent Senators and Congressman to sit in Washington for nearly 150 years. --Legis (talk - contributions) 14:00, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This article, and Colorado Territory

I'm thinking that some of the information about early Spanish exploration that i've just added to this article would be more appropriate in the Colorado Territory article. I'll make the transfer later, if no one else gets around to it. Richard Myers 20:35, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
