Big deal.
Nobody asked Americans if they felt like America needed two Dakotas instead of one, but the Republicans admitted two so they could get four Senate seats out of the deal.
lmao wtf, this is not historically accurate, or accurate in any regard.
The Dakota Territory was divided into the states of North Dakota and South Dakota on November 2, 1889. The admission of two states, as opposed to one, was done for a number of reasons. The two population centers in the territory were in the northeast and southeast corners of the territory, several hundred miles away from each other. On a national level, there was pressure from the Republican Party to admit two states to add to their political power in the Senate.[6]:100–101
