List of States in the Union

Panama as a permanent part of the US? Interesting...how's the historical likelihood of this?

Probably not likely, but I wanted something different and in 1921 Panama did vote to either become independent or part of Columbia.

The US may have gone for it if it was on the table in OTL. They would be getting a new territory without paying anything, plus the bonus of having a short hop across the territory to the Pacific rather than around South America. So, I would see a number of US citizens moving down there for plantations, farming, and to work on a road/railway across Panama.

36. Аляска -1905 (I hope this is not to vandalizing, otherwise just delete it)

I'm not deleting your state, but a span from 1837 to 1905 seems like a long time for no state admissions.

Slave/free balance is back to just one more slave state than free.

40. Galapagos - 1845
41. Minnesota - 1852 (Minnesota territory)

Hmm... if the Galapagos are a state, they've got to be sufficiently heavily populated. Industries would be guano, fishing, whaling. Maybe Galapagos also covers other guano islands on the right side of the Pacific? Probably a free state if it's settled mostly by New England whalers.

So... one more free state than slave state. Fugitive slave law likely passed alongside Minnesota's statehood act. On the road to civil war...

Requires a POD involving a mixture of initial Spanish settlement and then followed by a series of unsuccessful ventures by Ecuador to settle the islands which led to the government selling the islands to the United States for a sum of 2 million dollars.
