Native American Indians? Were they there? How did they acquire ownership of the land if they did own it first? Would that be like Neil Armstrong declaring he owns the moon because he was the first to step onto it?
What about the Mexicans? Did they own it before the Spaniards took it from them and then did they own it after they took it back? What about settlers from England, France, Germany, Africa, the Virgin Islands, or wherever? Did they acquire ownership somehow? What about homesteaders or slaves who settled on land before or after slaves were freed?
Who really owns the land, the rich men who managed to grab it by hook or crook? Those who bought it from others? Or does the US government own Texas?
Actually, God owns all lands and gives the lands to whomever He pleases for as long as He pleases.
