You would be surprised how many folks think Ohio has been a state for more than 58 years...
There are a lot of folks that believe all sorts of things. I just know when Ohio was admitted and yes it is a little known footnote in history. The reason for the delay are quite understandable if you read up on the border dispute. If you prefer “seating” to admission that is up to you. A similar situation exists with West Virginia, their only claim to statehood is that they left VA. I would like a nation that functions according to logic. You petition for statehood, you don’t get to be a state until your petition is accepted. I know, that is far too simply for you.
