Over the course of American History, states have been added on multiple occasions. We didn't start with all 50. In recent times, there has been a significant debate about whether or not to grant Puerto Rico statehood. The people of Puerto Rico vote against it in referenda because, among other reasons, they don't want to pay American taxes; however, they receive most but not all of the benefits of American statehood and citizenship.

What is the Add-A-State plan from 1803?

The Add-A-State plan from 1803 was a proposal by President Thomas Jefferson to gradually add new states to the Union as territories were settled and developed. This approach aimed to maintain a balance between free and slave states, ensuring political stability. The plan reflected Jefferson's vision of an expanding nation built on agrarian values and democratic principles, fostering a sense of unity while accommodating the growth of the United States. Ultimately, it laid the groundwork for westward expansion and the admission of new states.
