people do remember when Hawaii was a state especially if you are a history teacher
Every state borders someone, besides Alaska and Hawaii.
The Republic of Texas was officially recognized as an independent nation for 10 years from 1836-1846 until it was annexed to the Union.Texas was one of only three states that existed as an independent country, the other two being Vermont (Vermont Republic) and Hawaii (Kingdom and Republic of Hawaii).
Ohio became a state in 1803; Oregon in 1859-- looks like 56 years to me.
In 1952 there were 48 states in the US. They are sometimes referred to now as the 'lower 48', if the matter at hand is relevant only to the contiguous states below Canada. Like Hawaii, Alaska does not border any of the other states. The last two states to join the union were Alaska and Hawaii, both of which joined in 1959.
