The Washington Post reported in December 2013 that, since Puerto Ricans became US citizens in 1917, they have "been divided over their relationship with the mainland" on whether to become a US state, become independent, or a self-governing territory under US control.

Over a century ago, the U.S. prevented Puerto Rico from gaining autonomy. In February 1898, Puerto Ricans had a lot to celebrate. After centuries of Spanish colonial rule, they had just become an independent part of Spain, complete with a Constitution and voting rights.

Most Puerto Rican's have voted to keep their territorial status with the United States. The percentage of Puerto Rican's that would like to be separated from the United States is 1%.

I hope this helps.
