the main purpose for the national movement for the establishment of the 49th state was to create a state for african american people. the beginning of the movement saw oscar brown seeking the establishment for a state in the union territories. now, what made this idea for a state unique is that it would only be a state governed, and lived-in by african american people. one of the main reasons for this state was so that the benefits of the new deal were fairly allocated to african american citizens. unfortunately, the organization gradually declined due to the lack of support, and the other outside federal forces prohibiting the creation of the 49th state. later, alaska would become the 49th state.
