March 21, 1864 Abraham Lincoln signs legislation allowing Nevada and Colorado to become states even though they don't meet population requirements. Reckon he had ulterior motives for doing this?

Ummm first I have ever heard of this. Does the same rule still apply today? What was the population requirement back then?
