Northern Pacific
When and why did North Carolina claim all of the lands west of the Appalachians to the Pacific Ocean?
I have heard that sometime shortly after the Revolutionary War, North Carolina claimed all of the lands west of it's borders all the way to the Pacific Ocean (within its' northern and southern latitudes). Was this claim ever ratified or accepted. What became of this claim? So was California at one time part of North Carolina? I read this information in a book entitled "Trail of Tears" which is an account of the transferring of the Cherrokee Indian Nation from the eastern states to Nebraska.
If they did indeed make that claim, then I don't think there was any basis behind it. At that time, California was part of Spain. It eventually became Mexico, and America got it as a result of the Mexican-American War in the mid 1800's. Also, don't forget that America bought much of the midwest in the Louisiana purchase from France, a few years after the Revolutionary War.
