Because of a spike in population, Nebraska joined the Union as the 37th state on March 1, 1867, shortly after the American Civil War. President Andrew Johnson tried to veto it, but Congress overturned the veto. Nebraska had raised over 3,000 soldiers to fight in the Civil War.
The controversy is that the Nebraska Constitution said that only white males were to have sufferage but Congress said that Nebraska could be admitted if suffrage was "not denied to nonwhite voters."
