Oh man wait till you learn about Hawaii and how it's autonomy and indigenous people's rights were smashed to pieces when we made them a state
You mean by granting it the most autonomy out of all the states when we made them into a state? They even get to set their own importation laws to maintain their ecosystem.
The annexation was a shit deal but statehood gave them more rights than most explicitly designated ethnic autonomous zones around the world have today.
