Florida could not become a state until it achieved a certain population threshold and met the requirements set by the U.S. Congress. Specifically, after the U.S. acquired Florida from Spain in 1819, it was designated as a territory, and it wasn't until 1845, when it had sufficient population and governance structure, that Florida was admitted as the 27th state of the United States.
