Iowa was admitted as the 29th state of the USA in 1760
The territory of what is now Iowa has been inhabited by American Indians for more than 13,000 years. The first European explorers documented the area in 1673. They described several Indian villages on the Iowa side. Much of the state was mapped in 1805. However, the first American settlers officially moved to the state only in 1833.
Iowa was admitted to Union on the 28th of December, 1846.

Since there were no states in 1760 it would be mighty hard for Iowa to be admitted

The United States did not even exist in 1760!

And now to you, Iowa was full of American Natives so it would be Indians Out Walking Around. Idiots are the ones who post crap like that.

How disheartening it is to see the results at a 60/40 split.
