Acquisition of property

Government purchasing of real property

While the Appalachian National Park Association was successful in gaining support from 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. By April 1901, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and Virginia followed suit.
