1 map : col., 16 x 42 cm.<br>Scale: 1 inch = 80 miles<br>County Towns indicated by circled points, Railroads indicated by red lines <br>Between November 2nd and November 11th, 1889, four new states were added to the United States. Dakota had originally requested statehood as just one state, but a Republican controlled Congress and a Republican president split into the area into two states, as the extra representatives that would result were expected to be Republicans. <br>On November 11th, Washington was the last of the four to come into existence as a state. Continuing the Republican drive for more help to hold onto their majorities (all these new states were strongly Republican), Idaho and Wyoming were also granted statehood in the following year.
