Hawaii (Aug 21, 1959). If you want to know the specific dates and order that states joined the union, try browsing the US Treasury website for the state quarter programs. They are releasing the state quarters in order and there's a neat map showing the the dates each state joined!

The states that left the Union agreed in principal to ratify all amendments added to the constitution that were entered into during the period of time they were outside of U.S law in order to re-enter the Union.  Therefore yes the states legislatures may not have taken up the vote indivdualy, however as part of the agreement to re-enter the U.S. it was agreed that they supported the amendments.

Here goes!!!\n\nIn March 1959, both houses of Congress passed the Admission Act and U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed it into law. (The act excluded Palmyra Atoll, part of the Kingdom and Territory of Hawaiʻi, from the new state.) On June 27 of that year, a plebiscite was held asking residents of Hawaiʻi to vote on accepting the statehood bill. Hawaiʻi voted 17 to 1 to accept. On August 21, church bells throughout Honolulu were rung upon the proclamation that Hawaiʻi was the 50th state of the Union.

The State of Franklin was an autonomous, secessionist territory created in western North Carolina in the United States not long after the end of the American Revolution. Franklin was never officially admitted into the Union of the United States and lasted only four years.

When you subtract the Commonwealth of Virginia, Commonwealth of Kentucky, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, it leaves us with 46 Great States in the union.

Brad got it, but the question itself is incorrect.  The State of Franklin, formed in 1784 from land used by North Carolina to pay War debts, was part of the union held lands but never became one of the United States.\nThe ratification vote went 7 to 6 in favor, but this was 2 less than the number needed.  The land was then passed into the Southwest Territory which became the State of Tennessee a few years later.

You could just try looking the information up, instead of relying on the faulty memories here in Yahoo! Answers.  \n\nBut, just to try and help you out...New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, Illinois, etc.  Pretty much every state North of the Mason Dixon Line were non-slave holding states.  Missouri was one that was in contention as it was North of the line, but when it achieved statehood, it was granted the right to be a slave state in 1851, if I remember my history correctly.
