My joke answer would be Alaska, due it looking like a part of Canada on a surface level, the yanks simply forgot they owned it

But to be serious the answer is Ohio. The 83rd Congress often made fun of its Ohian colleges for this lol so trolling is not something that evolved on the net, it seems.

Ohio: The 48th State?
Oops! Though officially the 17th state in the Union, Ohio’s state constitution didn’t get formally ratified until 1953—which would make it the 48th! Luckily, Ohio’s request for statehood had been approved when it was supposed to be, in 1803, and that was good enough for most people. It was Ohio representative George H. Bender who eventually pushed to get the constitution ratified once and for all.
