Alaska and Hawaii - 50 Years of Statehood. In 1959 Alaska and Hawaii became the last two states to join the USA. They are the only ones not connected to the other 48 states. Although they are very different they were both important in the 2008 presidential elections.
In 1958, the proposal was approved and a year after, Alaska was proclaimed as the U.S. 49th state. Other important historical events in the state in the late 1900s are the Trans-Alaska Pipelineâs construction in 1977 and the oil boom in the late 1980s.
