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.
In 1959, the United States added two more states to the Union: Alaska and Hawaii, the non-contiguous states. Alaska was admitted to the Union on January 3, 1959, becoming the 49th state, and Hawaii joined on August 21, 1959, becoming the 50th state. No additional states have joined the United States since 1959.
