The longer, somewhat more precise answer is... 1  Between 2 and 5 days, depending on a number of factors. 2  This also requires us to define fully recover.. For the purposes of this questions, let's keep the definition simple and focused on things we can easily observe:
A choir sings in the Salt Lake LDS Tabernacle in 1896. The decorations on the organ pipes celebrate Utah's becoming a state. The Utah area became a part of the United States in 1848--but it took until 1896 for Utah to become a state.
When and why did Hawaii become a state? Hawaiiâa U.S. territory since 1898âbecame the 50th state in August, 1959, following a referendum in Hawaii in which more than 93% of the voters approved the proposition that the territory should be admitted as a state. 1  There were many Hawaiian petitions for statehood during the first half of the 20th century.
