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.
Washington State became part of the USA without dispute in 1846 (before that, Britain and the USA with some Spanish arguments disputed the area), 56 years after the founding of Washington DC and became a state in 1889, 99 years after the founding of Washington DC.
