I lived there for 4.5 years. My wife's family lived and was born there and was there during Pearl Harbor. Nobody's complaining except the fringe. I think it's a bit much to say it was a fraud, the were only given the options of statehood or territory-not independence. The vote went for statehood by a wide margin.
But they were a territory for 60 years and if big biz was to have a say, they would have stayed a territory.
Unlike, say, Puerto Rico who voted to remain a commonwealth and basically has an open invitation to do whatever they please; state, commonwealth, or independence.
