“A few years before Templeton made his famous move to the Bahamas, another American went and made a name for himself by discussing his desire to give up his citizenship and resettle on that famous island of warm breezes and low taxes. Meet Mr. Cleveland Ferguson, Bahamian immigrant and disabled Korean War veteran. If Mr. Ferguson had been able to afford his day in court, he might have won early recognition of the fact finally recognised by a court in 2010: that no formal declaration of war is necessary to allow renunciations under that provision (now renumbered to § 349(a)(6)), as long as there exist hostilities.”
