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:
It has the date when each U.S. state joined the Union. Virginia's peoples convention in May-June 1776 prepared the first Constitution for a State Government, plus a Declaration of Rights. Other Colonies became States in late 1776 and into 1777, and used Virginia's Declaration of Rights as a pattern for their own Declaration.
The 13 original British colonies became the country's first states, but they were not the same size and shape as they are today. It took more than 176 years â from 1783 to 1959 â for all 50 states to become part of the United States of America. See how the U.S. grew from 13 colonies to 50 states.
