*******************************************************************************************

Answer to last week's Trivia question:  Arizona was the last contiguous state (meaning the 48 states of the North American Continent) admitted to the union. 

Arizona achieved statehood on February 14, 1912. After being defeated in the Mexican–American War, Mexico ceded much of this territory to the United States in 1848. (Wikipedia)

It took Arizona 49 years to be admitted into statehood. In the interim, it was a U.S. territory. 

Despite Congress’ approval, President Taft rejected it and stopped Arizona from becoming a state, unless it removed from its constitution the provision of voting out judges. And it did, and President Taft then signed Arizona into statehood.

"In typical Arizona fashion, the provision was removed, statehood was granted, and then in the immediately following election the provision was reinserted into the constitution," said Southard (Nadine Arroyo Rodriguez)

Good Morning Suzy 

Thank you for posting Tuesday Trivia I

  I know that to have a 2 dollar bill is bad luck according to some.  If a person received a 2 dollar bill   a person would tear a corner off the bill o stop the bad luck.  

  Anyway the answer is Thomas Jefferson  but I believe President William Henry Harrison picture should have been on the 2 dollar bill   He had bad luck  He was only president for like a month before he died of pneumonia

  On another note I think it would be great idea  Instead of putting real people on our currency We should use Looney Tune Characters
