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.
Until 1959 there were 48 states in America, but the admission of Alaska and Hawaii that year brought the number to 50. Other than these 50 states, there are some areas which are dependent on the United States for administration.f the few names that are being discussed, Puerto Rico is most likely to become the 51st state of America. As of now though, the number of states in USA is 50 -- and not 48, 49 or 51 as many people believe.
