How Hawaii Became a State
The United States consists of 50 states, each of which is represented by a star on the American flag. Most of those states consist of some section of North America divided by lines on a map that separate them from other states, Canada, or Mexico. But there is one state that is not like the others. It isn’t located in North America. It doesn’t have a land border with anything, and its route to statehood was unlike any other state in the union. Learn more about the long and controversial way Hawaii became a state on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily. Sponsors Newspapers.com Newspapers.com is like a time machine.
