Florida did not become a state immediately after drafting its constitution in 1838 due to political and economic concerns, including the need for a stable population and infrastructure. Additionally, there were debates over the issue of slavery, which complicated its admission as a slave state. It wasn't until 1845 that Florida was finally admitted to the Union, as lawmakers addressed these issues and the territory's readiness for statehood.
