South Dakota was the 40th state to join the Union. True or false?
Answer:
True
Why this is the correct answer
South Dakota entered the Union on November 2, 1889, as the 40th state. North Dakota was admitted on the same day, and President Cleveland reportedly shuffled the proclamations so no one could say which state officially came first.
