NORTH CAROLINA JOINS THE UNION AS THE 12TH STATE

On this day in history, November 21, 1789, North Carolina made a significant contribution to the formation of the United States by becoming the 12th state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. This pivotal moment in American history marked North Carolina's official entry into the Union and further solidified the foundation of the newly established nation.
 

The ratification of the Constitution by North Carolina signaled a crucial step towards national unity, as the state joined its fellow colonies in embracing the principles of the federal government. This momentous decision allowed North Carolina to participate fully in the democratic experiment that would shape the course of American history for centuries to come. Today, we commemorate this important milestone as a reminder of the enduring strength and resilience of the United States' democratic ideals.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY: THE 1993 DECISION TO KEEP D.C. OUT OF STATEHOOD

On November 21st, 1993, a significant chapter in American political history unfolded as the U.S. House of Representatives voted against granting statehood to the District of Columbia. This decision marked a pivotal moment in the ongoing debate over the status of the nation's capital, which has long sought equal representation and full statehood.
 

The District of Columbia, with its unique position as the heart of the federal government, has been a subject of contention for decades. Advocates argued that D.C. residents deserved the same rights and representation as citizens of the 50 states, while opponents expressed concerns over the potential political implications of adding a new state. This historic vote in 1993, ultimately denying statehood to the nation's capital, serves as a reminder of the enduring debate surrounding D.C.'s status and its significance in the broader context of American democracy.
