The likely answer is that in 1889 the vast transportation needs of a large territority such as the Dakota Territory, had not been met, and they could not expect to be in place for several decades. The US Civil War had interferred with the industrial development of the western United States since the Dakota Territory had been formed in 1861. Delaying Statehood would contiinue to delay the creation of a nation "From Sea to Shining Sea" or "Manifest Destiny". An East to West division which allowed the bisecting Missouri River to act as a commerce and communication route seemed to be a surefire solution. (North Dakota was sllightly sllighed in land area, the potental of th Black Hiills Gold Fields and may have been shortchanged in property value), but it was a compromise and most of those are imperfect. It may not have been perfect but it was workable.

Were the Vietnamese friend or foe during the vietnam war?
You can use the term "Vietnamese" now because there is such a thing. But technically you couldn't during the war because there were two categories of Vietnamese; Southern ones and Northern ones. They were separate countries like todays South Carolina, South Dakota, and West Virginia are separate states in the United States of America. Those are separate states from NORTH Carolina, NORTH Dakota, and the state of VIRGINIA. The Vietnam War would be like North Carolina or North Dakota fighting South Carolina and South Dakota. North Vietnam was the enemy in the Viet War. South Vietnam was the ally of the US.
