What almost prevented the Wyoming Territory from gaining statehood?
There were several things that almost prevented Wyoing from gaining statehood. One was the fact that, even though enabling act bills had been introduced in Congress to enable Wyoming to pursue statehood, none had ever passed. Even so, Governor Francis E. Warren decided to continue as if an enabling act had passed. Then there was the requirement of a minimum population of 60,000 to gain statehood. Due to Wyoming's population being sparse, it was difficult to give an accurate count of the populace. The election to approve Wyoming's Constitution only garnered a total of 8,175 votes, causing Congress to question Wyoming having enough population. The third thing that almost prevented Wyoming from gaining statehood was the fact that the Wyoming Consititution gave women the right to vote. The Wyoming Territorial Legislature was the first governement in the world to enact a bill giving women the right to vote. That right to vote was included in Wyoming's State Constitution and caused Congress to threaten withholding statehood from Wyoming.
