How many states are attached to the mainland of the US?
While there are Fifty currently recognized States in the United States of America, only Fourty-eight are actually "attached to" -- a part of -- the "Mainland" of the U.S.A. The two States which are not part of the "Mainland" are Alaska, which is located in the extreme Northwest of the North American Continent (and is separated from the "mainland" by Canada), and Hawai'i, which is located in the Pacific Ocean. The proper term for the "mainland" of the U.S.A. is the Contiguous United States.

Are all parts of the US attached to each other?
Depends on the meaning of attached, but if you mean by land mass then the answer is NO. Alaska and Hawaii are separated by many miles of land/sea from the mainland States. If you are referring to the courts/codes/statutes of the US then the answer is YES. All the States which are a part of the US are attached with one another. If you have a Warrant out for you in one State and get stopped/arrested in another, you can count on the Warrant showing up on the record when the Police check you out.
