You could just try looking the information up, instead of relying on the faulty memories here in Yahoo! Answers.  \n\nBut, just to try and help you out...New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, Illinois, etc.  Pretty much every state North of the Mason Dixon Line were non-slave holding states.  Missouri was one that was in contention as it was North of the line, but when it achieved statehood, it was granted the right to be a slave state in 1851, if I remember my history correctly.

I'm having a hard time following the premise of your question.\n\nYou state..."It was Mexico that made the deal to sell off the southern states."\n\nThis is historically unfounded. The American states of the Deep South (Mississippi, Alabama, etc.) were all a part of the original territories of the United States, formed before Mexico achieved independence.\n\nOther Southern states like Louisianna and Arkansas, etc, were carved from the Louisianna Purchase which was negotiated between the US and France.\n\nThe state of Texas achieved independence as a result of war with Mexico. (Again, Mexico "sold" nothing). And the states of the American Southwest were taken from Mexico during the Mexican-American War. (Mexico didn't "sell" them).\n\nThe only portion "sold" to the US was a tiny sliver of land in southern Arizona, known as the Gadsden Purchase. \n\nThese things being the case -- can you clarify you point, please?

To say we stole California, Texas and Arizona I think is wrong. These states were given a chose to be apart of the u.s. . They chose to become part of the us.because they wanted freedom from the mexican goverment.

California is one for sure, and I am guessing that states like Nebraska, Iowa, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, and Oregon, have not because generally these states are more populated by white's, or hispanic's. Sorry, I looked for a link, but couldn't find one on this issue.

Well SD is the state abbreviation for South Dakota so if they are ever using SDG it is probably because SD is take by south dakota.  Not that anyone cares about South dakota anyway, but it is a  state and there for would have first dibs on the abbreviation.

California then NY amd then Texas, which has been in third for years and it will remain third only cause it is mostly farm and ranch land.  country that is.  Unless Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio, keep growing.  It has always been close between NY and Cal.

No they do not. Only Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampsire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Washington do.

Right, that is because they do not know their geography.  America is a continent (not a country) which includes:  all of North, South & Central America - not just the United States. And Mexico, Canada & United States are all part of North America.

Not sure what the question means - I'll guess California. It probably didn't send many men east to fight.

The Southwest of North America would still be Mexico.  Any further south and it becomes Central and South America.

They wanted each state to be a separate country like Europe is.\nThey felt that the North didn't understand the problems associated with the south.\nHad it happened we would have later seen a war between Oklahoma and Arkansas or Texas and South Carolina.\nBy having a federal government we have someone to settle issues for us that otherwise would end in war.\nIran and Iraq and Syria and Lebanon and Israel are smaller than are smaller states.  It is the same as if Road Island went to war with new york city.

There are more than one Pittsburgh's in the United States. I think the one in Texas spells Pittsburg, I know there are several (Pittsburgh/Pittsburg) in the United States...
