Best Answer

The Midwestern state of Oklahoma was mostly acquired by the United States in the Louisiana Purchase but its panhandle region was not acquired until the end of the Mexican-American War. The state was hit hard by the Dust Bowl during the Great Depression. Its capital city was also the site of a home-grown terrorist bombing in 1995 by Timothy McVeigh.
