Who was the first state to join the Union?
I'm not sure you can properly call it a "union" if there's only one state in it, but Delaware was the first state to ratify the US constitution.By the same logic, Pennsylvania (the second state to ratify the US constitution) wasn't really joining a union but forming one (with Delaware).The third state to ratify the constitution (New Jersey) was therefore the first state that can unambigously be said to have joined an existing union of other states.In practice, though, the Union is considered an ideal that existed as of the creation of the Constitution, and each state that ratified the constitution was joining that (hypothetical) union, so Delaware is really the first.

Why didn't all states ratify the constitution?
They all did ratify, but some battles were harder than others. It depended on how many delegates had been there (Pennsylvania was one of the first 9 to ratify and it had 8 delegates), which delegates they were, and how many Anti-Federalists there were. The fight for ratification in New York was particularly bitter, as they had one delegate (who lost his vote when the other 2 NY delegates left), a slew of ardent Anti-Federalists, and several nasty exchanges in the ratification convention. It was actually that that led to the creation of the Federalist Papers. Other states were easier, like Delaware, which was the first state because it was the first to ratify.
