    History:
    Utah became the 45th state in 1896.
    It had been attempting to gain statehood
    for many years, but remained a territory,
    primarily due to the fact that the Mormon
    Church and Utah authorities continued to
    be openly tolerant of polygamy. In 1890,
    Mormon Church President Wilford Woodruff
    published a manifesto that denounced the
    contract of "any marriages forbidden by
    the law of the land". This gave way to
    Utah's 1896 acceptance. The 45 star flag
    was generally used from that year until
    1907, when Oklahoma joined the Union.
    Due to the Spanish-American War (1898)
    and Teddy Roosevelt's famous world tour
    of the "White Fleet" (launched in 1907),
    this was an extremely patriotic period.
