You mean Arkansas was a state and held in bond to France before the big purchase?

No Arkansas did not become a state until 1836.

I know Fourth Grade was a couple of years ago, but this may help...

The territory named after King Louis XIV of France included all or part of the present states of Louisiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, N. Dakota, S. Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Texas, Mississippi and Alabama.

"No Arkansas did not become a state until 1836."

So why then you claim that they were freed from France to become a state?

Did the feds create Arkansas?

Didn't the people, who owned land in Arkansas, vote to become a State?
