• com Subject: Hanging Chads Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2000 19:20:42 GMT Who would have dreamed, even thirty years ago, that an American Presidential election might hang on Chad? Many people wonder to this day why the Central African state is part of the United States at all - and it probably wouldn't have been if not for the discovery of oil in the Lake Chad and Doba basins in 1917. This discovery, by an expatriate Texan oilman serving in the French expeditionary forces, stirred interest in Chad among the American public, especially after his valiant deeds won him both the French Legion of Honor and the Silver Star.

In 1967, a statehood resolution narrowly passed the House but failed in the Senate; the second attempt in 1969 was more successful, and the State of Chad officially joined the Union on July 4, 1970.
