Nope. They're the only (?? (1) ) state that joined by treaty after being an
independent republic rather than being an original founder (that ratified
the constitution as the means of joining) or a state formed from unorganised
territory that was obtained by purchase or conquest.
It is argued that since they were forcibly rejoined at the end of the Civil
War they no longer have the same status. But don't say that IN Texas!
1 - the California Republic being an unclear case, maybe CA too or maybe
not, depending on how you interpret things.
