GM Context:

I think it wasn't clear enough on the article, but Cumberland has already organized itself and sent a petition, the North Carolina government accepting statehood. However, delegates from North Carolina have made it clear they do not want the land granted to the Federal Government to become part of Cumberland, believing the state does not deserve expansion.
