How many letters? Does "nowhere" fit? :)

Well, (without looking it up to check) if it was 1844, would the answer be ..... Texas? *

* thinking it became an independent Republic in 1836 and then losing its independence when it became a U.S. State.

Using a series of semi-plausible connections, I believe the correct answer is Arkansas. Or France,
since it would fit the probable number of letters your puzzle is looking for. Wait...Alaska?
