50 States

But there also protected United States territories. Guam, The Virgin Islands, American Samoa, And Puerto Rico. They are not states.

50 and a few territories

Puerto Rico
US Virgin Islands
Guam
American Samoa

all the territories have the right to vote and full coverage under the Constitution and benefits like Social Security and Medicare but if I remember correctly they don't pay US income tax

Actually, i think it is Ohio, they found out they never actually joined, then in the 1950s they passed a bill to join and back dated it, which is illegal.

Ohio came into statehood on March 1, 1803.

Hawaii was made a state on August 21, 1959.

50 states plus Washington, D.C.- our capital.

By the way, it's 7-1 Nats over the Red Sox after 6. But watch the bullpen blow it.

We have more then 50 states, but we leave it as 50 because we like that number. We have other states that are nonincorporated but is still part of the US under Federal legislation, such as Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and a few other nearby countries that are part of the union.

Something like that. You may want to look it up with someone that knows a little more then I do.

Nah. We just ran out of room on the flag for any more green horseshoes, pots of gold, lucky clover, and blue moons.
