Arrangement of Stars on New Flag.
With the admission ot the two
last territories, Arizona nud New
Mexico, there are 48 States in
the Union. When the United
.Status wast consolidated into a
government thero were 13 States
hich agreed to go Into it "for a
rmore perfect union. " Since then
the other States have been ad
milted one by one or two by
two.
Vermont was the first State cd
mitted to the Union after it be
came a Union; that was in 1791.
After that Kentucky came in in
1792; Tennessee in 1796.
That made the Union a body of
1G States when the new century
started in 1800. Ohio came in in
1S03, and was never formally "ad
initted': and proclaimed. Then
came Louisiana in 1812, Indiana
in 1810, Mississippi in 1817, Illi
nois in 1818, Alabama in 1819,
Maine in ls20 and Missouri in
181'!.. That made a Union of 24
States. Arkansas was admitted
in lb'Afi, Michigan in 1857, Florida
became a State in 1845, Texas in
1810, Wisconsin in 1848, Califor
nia became a State in 1850, far
from any other State though it
was; Minnesota came m in 1859;
Kansas came in bloody, in 1801;
West Virginia was cut off Virgin
la in 1803, and Nevada wis admit
ted in 1804. It was nine years
before another State was admit
ted. Colorado became a State in
1870. Then after years the Da
kotas were admitted with Mon
tana and Washington in 1889.
Only this once were so many
States admitted in a group. Ida
ho and Wyoming came in 1890.
Utah was admitted in 1907, and
now in 1910 we have the last two
territories admitted.
This n'nal admission of tern
tones makes it possible to ar
range the stars on the national
Hag in symmetrical manner and
that will mark the end of the
growth of the Union. All of the
States are in the Union and the
United States is grown.
