Don't forget Alaskians and Hawaiiites.

Alaska was purchased from Russia, who had conquered it, and Hawaii applied for admission to the US after they had a successful internal revolution by a bunch of plantation owners after the US raised tarrifs (Hawaii's application waited five years before it was approved - plenty of time to discover whether or not the new regime was going to quickly collapse, or itself get overthrown - it didn't). Texas joined the US in a manner similar to Hawaii.
