I take it you're wondering how many states the US is made up of. The United States of America consists of 50 states, including the states of Hawaii and Alaska.
40
14 US states have the letter L in their names, but only 1 starts with L, Louisiana.
THE ANSWER IS 31
There has been 50 states since 1959, so there were 50 in 1972.
There are two states that are not attached to the continental United States. Alaska (Postal Abbreviation: AK) is separated from the continental United States by Canada. Hawaii (HI) is separated from the continental United States by the Pacific Ocean.
There are not any provinces in the U.S. Larger areas are called states and there are 50 of them. Alaska and Hawaii are not attached to the continental U.S., but they are states, nonetheless.
Alaska and Hawaii
Two states which are not part of the lower 48 are Alaska and Hawaii.
Depends on the meaning of attached, but if you mean by land mass then the answer is NO. Alaska and Hawaii are separated by many miles of land/sea from the mainland States. If you are referring to the courts/codes/statutes of the US then the answer is YES. All the States which are a part of the US are attached with one another. If you have a Warrant out for you in one State and get stopped/arrested in another, you can count on the Warrant showing up on the record when the Police check you out.

While there are Fifty currently recognized States in the United States of America, only Fourty-eight are actually "attached to" -- a part of -- the "Mainland" of the U.S.A. The two States which are not part of the "Mainland" are Alaska, which is located in the extreme Northwest of the North American Continent (and is separated from the "mainland" by Canada), and Hawai'i, which is located in the Pacific Ocean. The proper term for the "mainland" of the U.S.A. is the Contiguous United States.
America has 51 states
There are fifty US states.
There were 50 US States after 1959.
