According to Merriam-Webster online dictionary retrocession means to cede back (as a territory) retrocession

Retrocession is where a state absorbs another state/district. Its the opposite of succession (where a state breaks away from another state, like West Virginia did with Virginia). So the option of retrocession in this respect would be that of DC becoming part of a state that already exists (probably Maryland or Virginia).

Retrocession! Taxation without representation isn't right (even if most of the rest of the U.S. suffers from it). Let Maryland represent 'em, Maryland's only a half notch to the right of Karl Marx now.
