About the American States and their Capitals:

The United States of America is separated into 50 geographic locations known as states. 48 of the states are located between Canada and Mexico. Alaska is found in the northernmost point of the continent, whereas Hawaii is in the mid-Pacific Ocean. The United States of America was born when 13 colonies won their independence from Great Britain during the American Revolutionary War. These 13 colonies were Virginia, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, North and South Carolina, and Georgia. From 1791 to 1912, the remaining 35 states joined the Union, from Vermont to Arizona. In 1959, Alaska and Hawaii were the last two states to join.
