The next 2 states admitted to the Union were Kentucky and Tennessee, but both of these were associated with other states. For Kentucky, its statehood came after splitting off from Virginia and for Tennessee, North Carolina donated the land making Tennessee to the U.S. where it was later admitted into the Union.
