Arizona had a long road to statehood that uniquely involved the mixing of Anglo-American, Mexican American and American Indian cultures. Despite several attempts, Arizona did not achieve statehood until the territory demonstrated proper Anglo-American development. Arizona reached several key benchmarks by the late nineteenth century; however, Arizona's leaders needed to show Congress the territory could be profitable, participate in the political process, and attract people. In the 1880s, with the Apaches on reservations, railroad companies built lines through the northern and southern parts of the territory. The railroad connected Arizona's citizens to the rest of the United States. Anglo majority towns such as Phoenix grew through successful agricultural, while other Anglo towns such as Globe, Florence, and Tombstone found success through mining copper and silver. As Arizona developed, the territory's political influence increased. Representative Marcus A. Smith and territorial governors encouraged strong promotion of Arizona and proposed citizen militias, water storage, and education for all citizens. Influential Mexican Americans embraced their Spanish heritage distancing themselves from Mexico resulting in more tolerance toward Anglo ideals and creating a divide between elite and working class Mexican Americans. Arizona's growth saw Anglo-Americans dominate many aspects of development as both Mexican Americans and American Indians struggled to fit into the changing economic and political structure of the territory. As Arizona progressed, citizens held a Constitutional Convention in 1891 to officially push for statehood, however national and local political differences kept Arizona from statehood until 1912.
