Migration to Alaska ultimately resulted in its statehood. When Congress passed the act that admitted Alaska into the union in 1958, and President Eisenhower issued his proclamation in January 1959, Alaska became the 49th state. This prompted many Americans to send suggestions to President Eisenhower about the redesign of the nation's flag. The actual redesigned flag had seven rows of seven stars each.
