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:
Utah Becomes a State. A choir sings in the Salt Lake LDS Tabernacle in 1896. The decorations on the organ pipes celebrate Utah's becoming a state. Utahns tried and triedâfor almost 50 yearsâto win statehood. The Utah area became a part of the United States in 1848--but it took until 1896 for Utah to become a state.
Five new states were admitted to the Union while Monroe was in office: 1  Mississippi â December 10, 1817. 2  Illinois â December 3, 1818. 3  Alabama â December 14, 1819. 4  Maine â March 15, 1820. Maine is one of 3 states that were set off from already existing states (Kentucky and West Virginia are the others).
