Acquisition of property

Government purchasing of real property

While the Appalachian National Park Association was successful in gaining support from the southern states to purchase land for a park or forest reserve, in order to do so, each state had to cede its authority to the federal government to acquire title to such lands. In January 1901, North Carolina passed a bill giving Congress that authority; before the end of the month, South Carolina passed a similar bill. By April 1901, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and Virginia followed suit.
