	Nevada Territory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nevada Territory was a historic, organized territory of the United States from March 2, 1861 until October 31, 1864, when it became Nevada, the 36th state.
		Nevada gained most of its present boundaries in 1866, when eastern portions of the state (for example, Lincoln County) and the southern tip were moved from the territories of Utah and Arizona, respectively.
		The secretary of the territory was Orion Clemens, older brother of Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain).

		FACT: Nevada Territory was a federal territory, a part of the Union, and President Abraham Lincoln appointed Governor James Warren Nye, a former Police Commissioner in New York City, to ensure that it stayed that way.
		If Nevada were a state, it could ratify the amendment and help in the passage of the landmark humanitarian legislation.
		So Nevada was, in fact, the "Battle Born" state because of its entrance into the Union during the Civil War, but not for the reasons we find in the popular mythology.

		There is no question but that framers of Nevada constitution recognized the import of U.S. 1st amendment and in constitution provided that free exercise and enjoyment of religious profession and worship, without discrimination or preference, shall forever be allowed in this state.
		The second amendment was proposed and passed by the 1993 legislature; agreed to and passed by the 1995 legislature; and approved and ratified by the people at the 1996 general election, effective on the date Congress consents to amendment or a legal determination is made that such consent is not necessary.

	[No title]
		Others consider this "property clause" as pertaining to a territory and property before it becomes a state, as when a state is admitted, all property is granted to the state on an equal footing with the original thirteen states.
		Nevada cannot be a free sovereign state, as the original thirteen states, unless all the lands within its borders are either privately owned or belong to the state except those pursuant to 1.8.17.
		Research has shown that first, the people of the Territory of Nevada had to give up all their "interest" in the unappropriated lands of the Nevada territory to the Congress of the United States so Congress could pass said lands to the State of Nevada upon acceptance of Nevada into the Union.

	Images of the Comstock Miners' Unions
		Blacklisting by the mining companies and a show of military force, directed by Nevada Territorial Governor James W. Nye against the Storey County Miners' League during the mining depression of 1864, inaugurated a "heritage of conflict" in the western hardrock-mining industry that continued well into the twentieth century.
		Nevada Territorial Governor James Warren Nye, a Lincoln appointee, former New York City police commissioner, and ardent supporter of the North, was opposed to any effort by the Storey County Miners' League to enforce its public notice of September 19 which, in effect, demanded a closed shop in all the Comstock mines after September 27.
		Nearly half the book is devoted to activities of the Nevada unions established in Gold Hill, Virginia City, and Silver City, and Lingenfelter has offered considerable evidence of the use of armed force and coercion by both mining companies and organized labor in their industrial relations.
