Nebraska Territory Size Changes and 1861 Statehood Push
The Nebraska area in 1860 was defined by a wide northern boundary and a southern boundary near the 40th parallel during early territorial days. The Kansas Nebraska bill reduced Nebraska size, with major cuts in 1861 and 1862 as Colorado, the Dakotas, Wyoming, and parts of Montana were shed as the Panhandle settled to its present form. The 1861–63 period saw a push toward statehood amid Civil War pressures and shifting federal policy on territorial bounds.
