Rhode Island was the 13th state to join the Union. True or false?

Answer:

True

Why this is the correct answer

Rhode Island holds the distinction of being the 13th and final state to ratify the Constitution, completing the original Union in 1790. Its reluctance reflected its long tradition of independence and suspicion of concentrated authority, dating back to its founding by Roger Williams.
