Kentucky

Discovery
Kentucky was discovereed in 856 AD by Erik The Red on his quest to drive bears out of Greenland. Erik drove these wild Danish bears south out of Greenland while a native Kentuckard by the name of Daniel Boone drove the bears north to the present day state of Michigan. Kentucky was then lost to the rest of the world for a short time as the entire state went into hiding from revenuers. In 1964, Kentucky was rediscovered by Rush Limbaugh and Col. Sanders. The two fueded on how to run the newly discovered state, and Limbaugh broke off the eastern most 11 counties to form West Virginia.

Achieving Statehood
After failing on the first two referendums to achieve statehood in 1782 and 1802, Kentucky was granted partial admission to the Union in 1874, on the condition that President Ulysses Grant recieved one-fifth of the state's moonshine. Kentucky was granted full statehood in 1953 after the invention of the Corvette, leaving only West Virginia, Florida, and Los Angeles as the only uncivilized territories in the United States.
