In order for two states to merge into one, both the state legislatures and the US Congress would need to approve the merger.

In California's state constitution they wanted to be admitted into the union as a free state because miner during the gold rush didn't want to have to compete with slave labor. Southern slave owners didn't want that because it would offset the 15 free states and 15 slaves state balance in the senate. If another free state was added the south would lose power. The south feared if they lost power northerners would abolish slavery.

In California, to become emancipated as a youth, you must be at least 14 years old, be able to financially support yourself, and be able to demonstrate that you can live independently. You need to file a petition with the court, attend a court hearing, and show that it is in your best interest to be emancipated. It is recommended to seek legal advice or assistance to navigate the process.
