South Dakota.
South Dakota is listed as the 40th US State. South Dakota and North Dakota were admitted into the union at the same time. So that the order of signing the proclamations would be unknown, the proclamations were mixed up and South Dakota and North Dakota were admitted as the 39th and 40th states. Since that time, North Dakota has been listed first alphabetically, as the 39th US state, and South Dakota listed as the 40th US State.
At the same time South Dakota became a state, North Dakota was also admitted into the union. So that the order of signing the proclamations would be unknown, the proclamations were mixed up and South Dakota and North Dakota were admitted as the 39th and 40th states. Since that time, North Dakota has been alphabetically listed first, as the 39th US state, and South Dakota listed as the 40th US State.
They are both the same age; both being made states on November 2, 1889. North Dakota is before South Dakota in the list of states created only because of alphabetical order.
In order of least (population) to most: Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, Alaska, and South Dakota.
North Dakota is the 39th state; South Dakota is the 40th. The true, technical, answer is unknown because no one really knows which state President Harrison signed the papers for first, but North Dakota is usually considered the 39th state due to the fact that it precedes South Dakota in alphabetical order.
In order to see nothing but stars in the sky in South Dakota, you have to be out away from city lights, with very few trees and no hills or mountains, and you have to have good weather with clear skies. Good places to be are out on the open prairie, on a ranch or in a field, especially in central or western South Dakota.
History will never know. President Harrison signed the 1889 legislation "in the blind" so they would never know which was the first state admitted. North Dakota is state number 39 and South Dakota ranks as number 40 based on alphabetical order.
Yes, as long as the minor is at least 16 years old they may file a petition for emancipation in the state of South Dakota.
South Dakota became a state for several reasons. As a territory, residents had very little say in their government. The governor of Dakota Territory was appointed by the president. There was no representation in the US Congress. When the governor decided to move the capital from Yankton to Bismarck, the residents of Dakota Territory had no say in the decision. Residents in the South Dakota part of the Dakota Territory were mostly Republicans, so the Republican Party saw statehood for South Dakota as a way to gain more political power for their party. Plus, the population of the Dakota Territory was growing and that population was ready for statehood!
The 39th state is North Dakota AS WELL as South Dakota; the two joined the Union on the same date, and neither is given the position of 40th legally. However, North Dakota is generally thought as the 39th state and South Dakota the 40th simply because of the alphabetical order and it is just easier to not have two 39th states.
