It's me, Chayton today in 1819 when I was walking back from work I was thinking that this country only started with 13 states or the 13 colonies. These 13 states are Georgia, Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island, Virginia, New York, Connecticut, North Carolina, South Carolina, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and our state Pennsylvania. And also that this country now has 21 states because of 8 new states that were added and these new states are Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. And I saw on a newspaper that the Anti-Federalists had demands in order to give their support to the Constitution and their demand was that they add the Bill of Rights to the Constitution to show the rights that people have. And so the our president James Monroe was to accept their demand and added the Bill of Rights into the Constitution.
