He said exactly what I did, and what you're arguing with:

Alabama was admitted on petition from the people.

Alabama was admitted on petition from the people.

And if Congress had ignored the petition of the people then was Alabama a state? Colorado and Nebraska and Kansas are three examples where the people petitioned for statehood, created Constitutions, the whole nine yards and Congress refused to admit them. So where they states? Of course not. They were territories until Congress created them as states.
