United States Statehood Articles
https://www.census.gov/dataviz/visualizations/048/ Feb 21, 2013 "Historically, acquisition of new territory and conversion of that territory into organized states happened very quickly. Between 1790 and 1920, each decade saw changes in the territorial extent or the make-up of states in the country. This period of change was followed by several decades during which there were no changes until Alaska and Hawaii were admitted as states." Census Bureau

For Louisiana the road to statehood was relatively short; it became a state less than 10 years after being acquired from the French Government under provisions of the Louisiana Purchase. Louisiana became a state in 1812—here is a selection of congressional records that document Louisiana's journey to become the 18th state in the Union." National Archives

For both New Mexico and Arizona, the road to statehood was protracted and contentious. However, after much effort, on January 6, 1912 New Mexico became the 47th state and on February 14, 1912 Arizona became the 48th state in the Union. Both states celebrate their 100th anniversaries in 2012. Here is a sample of the many congressional records that document New Mexico's and Arizona's long journeys to statehood." National Archives
