The congressional act that led to Nebraska becoming a state in 1867 was the Nebraska Organic Act, passed in 1864. This act established the Nebraska Territory and set the stage for its eventual statehood. Following the end of the Civil War and population growth in the territory, Nebraska achieved statehood on March 1, 1867, when Congress passed the statehood bill.

Nebraska did not vote in the 1860 presidential election because it was not yet a state; it was still a territory at that time.

It wasn't until 1867 that Nebraska became the 37th state in the Union.
