Arizona officially became a territory of the United States in 1863, but in the ensuing decades, territorial leaders campaigned for admission to the Union as an official state. This idea was continually rejected by Washington politicians, who felt that Arizona (along with the Territory of New Mexico) was too wild, lawless and undignified to be granted the honor of statehood. This situation went unchanged for many years.
