Actually Oklahoma got the panhandle because of slavery. The feds decreed no slaves north of where the top of current Texas is now. Texas lost that area to become a state. The latitude of the southern Kansas and Colorado are a line of the norther border of Oklahoma and they just let the panhandle stay part of the unassigned lands until statehood in 1907.
