When did the Great Plains join the USA?

Around the time of the war between the North and the South, at the end of the 19th century, the United States looked something like this.

The Great Plains were not part of the United States and were not part of the South confederation. When did they join?

The Great Plains were part of the US, being part of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase. The various states just hadn't been formed and admitted yet.

1803 in the Louisiana Purchase

They weren’t states, but they belonged to the US

You do know that Iowa, Kansas, and part of Texas, are part of the Great Plains don't you?

The Louisiana Purchase that Thomas Jefferson bought from Napoleon.

If they bought, it would be on the map as part of the US. Obviously they are lying. Exactly the same myth exists about the purchase of Alaska. At that time, the "Russian empire" actually owned only the territory of the Onega region, and no one saw them beyond the Urals, but they allegedly "sold Alaska" lol.

Based on this map, no.

this story is very similar to how the Bolsheviks exterminated the Don Cossacks. After that, for a hundred years they distributed 2 versions: a) there was no one on the Don and on the Volga, it was a "wild field"; b) "Russians" have always lived there.

PS There was another: the Cossacks were Russian, a kind of Moscow peasants

Rulers Always Want Us Jammed Together Like Rats in a Cage

The ruling plutocracy had planned on using grateful and passive freed slaves to replace unionizing White workers. When that didn't pan out, they decided to open up the West as a ruling-class safe outlet for the dangerous unsatisfied workers to leave their sweatshops. It should have been fully settled right after the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 but, just like their British role models, the ruling class had wanted to cram people into the Northeast cities so they'd become fatalist and accept the tyranny because there was no way out.

As it was, the postwar Republicans left the Great Plains settlers practically undefended against hordes of savages. To put them in their place, the rulers reduced the Army to a totally weak 25,000 men.

Horace Greeley, an Abolitionist better known for saying, "Go West, young man" also said, as quoted in the movie, Gangs of New York, "We can always pay half the poor (meaning 'White working class') to kill off the other half."

Jefferson Also Didn't Want Any Settlers There, Only Fur Traders

Actually it was James Monroe, acting under orders from President Jefferson, who made that deal. Jefferson only wanted him to buy New Orleans.

Jefferson's purchase was actually illegal, but nobody complained after the fact so he got away with it. He had no authorization from Congress to make the purchase at the time. It was a pretty good deal, and neither France or Spain were ever going to do anything with that territory; that was already clear by the 1760's, so it was also a good deal for France. Outside of a couple of hundred in the Rio Grand Valley and Santa Fe, no Mexicans would be caught dead moving north of Tampico, so Mexico's claims to all former Spanish claims was even more absurd than Spain's.
