The issue was whether each of the new Western states would be admitted to the Union as a slave-state or free soil.
Launched in 1999, the 50 State Quarters Programwas a 10-year initiative that honored each of the nation's states in the order they were admitted into the union.
The stars represent the 50 states One is added each time a new state is admitted to the union .Before Alaska and Hawaii were admitted the flag had 48 stars. The 13 stripes represent the original 13 states.
Uh, please look at your pocket change. ALL of the state quarters have double dates on them, one for the year the coin was minted and one for the year that the coin's state was admitted to the Union. That means you have a coin honoring Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, etc. because they were admitted in 1787.Billions of each of these have been made, so your coin is worth the same amount as all of the other state quarters out there, 25 cents.
100. Two from each state. 60 democrats, 40 republicans.
The President makes the state of the union.
