Idaho's statehood was the result of a push by National Republicans to increase their influence in Congress. The territory was divided between an LDS-dominated south and an anti-LDS north. WyomingBecame the 44th state on July 10, 1890. Wyoming's statehood was the result of a long and involved process that included opposition from some Democrats in the U.S. House.
