Explanation:
[STC002013] The year 1953 was the year that former President Eisenhower signed a legislation that definitively established the date when Ohio was officially admitted as a state. On February 19, 1803, Congress made a mistake that made it essential to pass this statute. This mistake occurred due of their oversight. On that day, Congress voted to accept Ohio’s application to become a state, but they did not follow through with the necessary actions to actually make this happen. The mistake went uncorrected for a whopping 150 years until Representative George H. Bender introduced a bill to grant Ohio statehood and to make the declaration retroactive to 1803. On May 19, 1953, the House of Representatives approved the bill, officially making Ohio a legal state.
