A sidebar to this history, in 1864 Congress offered statehood to Colorado, Nebraska, and Nevada territories. Colorado voted for territory status over statehood. Nebraska couldn't agree on a Constitution. Only Nev. met the requirements for statehood at this time. ( A Republican Congress hoped these proposed states would vote for Lincoln in the 1864 Presidential election.)
