Summer in Wisconsin can get very hot and humid,Fall and spring are fairly temperate,winters can be brutal especially in the north
With the caveat of “cooler near the lake” Michigan, Superior and Winnebago in particular but also the drumlin lakes along 94
The northwoods are warm summers, why you see so many Illinois plates up there in midsummer.
I'm near LaCrosse, pretty much Minnesota weather here. Without the Minnesota summer mosquitoes.
Yes, summers in the midwest are hot. High temps in the 90s and even over 100 on the very hottest and disgustingly humid. It's like summer in the South but to a slightly lesser degree.
Who ever came up with this map, is smoking the good stuff. Especially the southern portion, lived in the mountains of western NC all my life.
Yeah. Lifelong resident of north Alabama and to say we're part of Appalachia is just ridiculous.
Yeah, i’m from Tennessee and the fact he lumped the entire state into Appalachia is crazy. Only the eastern half should be.
What are y'all then?
@ronaldpippen8164 talking about the map not the people.
@@harolddorsey9179 I'm asking you as a western North Carolinian what is wrong with the map? Besides Tennessee it looked pretty accurate to me.
Texas and Oklahoma is a mostly friendly rivalry based on college sports. At least nowadays. Texas and California, that's economic and political.
Nahhhhh……us Californians don’t think about Texas at all 😂
We need more Texas vs California games. Not just Texas vs SC but Texas vs UCLA and Texas vs Stanford.
@@LongieR8er Texas has the worst little brother syndrome knowing it will never be quite as important as California and New York.
@@999mazaThis arrogance is why Texas doesn't like y'all, not "little brother syndrome." Y'all are all hat and no cattle. Also, which state is the one that's growing currently?
As an Oklahoman I can confidently say that Texas is our favorite bordering state
The Pacific Northwest is in a bannana belt, meaning the ocean currents keep much of the west of the Cascades has pretty mild weather. We have the same plant growing zone as Florida.
Interestingly, the prevailing ocean current on the West Coast runs north to south. That's why even in San Diego, you'll see surfers wearing wetsuits to stay warm. That current produces mild temperatures year-round along the California coast. But it also means that Seattle (47.6 latitude) has similar weather to London UK (51.5 latitude) despite being further south.
James answers so many questions so often while either realizing he doesn't know the answer or explicitly states he doesn't know the answers.
Im from Wisconsin. We experience all four seasons: Winter is very cold and snowy, Spring is cool and rainy with occasional snow, Summer is warm/hot and sunny ranging temps from about mid 70s to upper 90s F (about 23°C-35°C), plenty warm for outdoor activities, swimming, hiking, camping, sports, etc... and our Fall/Autumn is cool with occasional rain or snow and with our trees having beautiful Fall colors of red, yellow orange.
Contrary to what many think, it is not a cold snowy artic wasteland all year like so many foreigners assume. Lmao! Wisconsin is a beautiful state bordering two Great Lakes: Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. We have gorgeous shorelines with rocky bluffs and sandy beaches, tree filled forests, rolling green farm land, and lots beautiful state parks and nature to explore. Our culture is very much based on our majority German and Scandinavian heritage. There's also some Polish, Italian, and French influences here, as well. We are an often overlooked and misunderstood state.
Wisconsin isn't as bad as you think, depending on when you come here. During the winter you could deal with around 15 inches of snow or more on the ground, and temperatures anywhere from -40 Fahrenheit to around 35 Fahrenheit. In the fall it can be warm/hot and a mixture of cold as well. In the spring we tend to get a lot of rain, some snow, and the temperatures can be around 30 Fahrenheit to 80 Fahrenheit. In the summer a lot of people will complain about it being too hot. The temps in the summer generally vary from around 60 Fahrenheit to 90 Fahrenheit. That doesn't even include the humidity which can increase the temperature another 10 degrees. One summer it was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 days straight. The reason there is an insane temperature fluctuation is because of the 2 mountain ranges. It allows really cold air from Canada to come down into the area, but in the summer it allows really hot moist air to come up from the south. The weather changes so drastically here that we are literally prepared for any type of weather at any time of the year.
SOUTH Florida… northern Florida is very “southern!”😂 I’m in Charleston, SC❤
Came here to say that! I live in Jacksonville, birthplace of Southern Rock!
Northern florida is a dump
The midwest states have warm to hot summers and cold winters.
yeah we regularly deal with a high of almost 100F in the summer and -20F in the winter (actual temp, not wind chill) isn't unheard of.
Indiana get miserable humid heat in the midwest
more like super cold Winters.
Not to mention the Tornadoes.
@@TheRagratus Us midwestern states have a lot of weather heading our way this week again!
I just Hope the Indy500 wont be delayed
Cultural areas, this map is one attempt to try it.. but as you can see in the comments, there are many disagreements on the border areas. IMO, another big difference culturally is city vs. rural. Country folks in CA relate to country folks in OK and Minn. more than they relate to city folks in CA.
and incidentally, most of the city folk in CA originated outside of the state, most often like something out of Doc Hollywood, moving there to be the stereotype of all the films, media and get away from the backwater states they were birthed in because they're good ol' fams raised them sir and ma'am strangers while at the same time, stealing their wallets and rifling through their medicine cabinets.. thus it needed a border more to the east and north than it did to the south.
But we could go back to how many OK's Native Americans moved to California... there were quite a few incentives to for education, jobs and the military (largely, the navy.) - though for many, San Jose was the primary destination... followed by Port Hueneme and San Diego between the 50s and 70s - likewise, it's also where we started to see more broadly Asian American immigrate from eastern states to CA and obviously from Hawaii and northwest as well.. to add to much older eastern asian (primarily of korean & chinese descent) communities there. They also made up a significant portion of California's libertarians (well, not particularly the party but the political stance, that odd place for centrist and moderates to exist, compared to where we are now today... with the horseshoe bend at the radical extremes, that make moderate republicans seem left and moderate democrats seem right... and complete absence of conservative democrats or liberal republicans, not being run out by a pitchfork mob, by the mid to late 00s.) and coming around to be republicans, specifically Reaganites - Despite what's said now, Reagan had a wide support of immigrants, youth and minorities; though, tbh, much of the problems with California is the result of his policies as Gov and later president, especially where it concerns public mental health and the homeless, which would eventually lead to the widespread closure of hospitals, though during his time, it was removing many of the programs to provide them with agricultural jobs.. he liked the hospitals to resorts for celebrities and those programs as hippie communes, they were neither. And never mind, how he handled mass illegal immigration, but they did like him for other reasons. Thus state used to be quite purple and threatening to secede from the U.S. more than Texas ever did. They were no more fans of Clinton than they were of Bush either. Though, even to older millennials that were alive during the time, don't seem to remember how bad Clinton was and just assume everything was about blowjobs. . . it's odd how that scandal worked in his favor. Then, of cours,e the problems with Bush Jr and the rise of televangelical right (though, they really gained greater political currency in the Clinton years) and Obama, that was vastly under prepared.. more things really began to fall apart with Bush Sr, though. And the shift, corruption in non profits and lobbyist groups.. it's also where celebrity political influence began to solidify, which pop culture aside, was initially was quite conservative... but more authoritarian variety, which that's our problem today, it's not political polarization but authoritarianism. And campuses were largely impacted since the late 60s by the same plague of influences as there has been in one form or another for decades longer, between communist regimes, maoists and the brotherhood... for Americans, in the modern era, you'd see it culminate with their own domestic terrorists known as "The Weather Underground" in less than a decade the right would lessen the charges against them and by the 90s, the left would pardon them. Most became academics with no change in opinion over what they had done.
For a while, California's mega rich were hated by most for being considered "trash" as most of the mega rich were not celebrities but rather ranchers and farmers and it was more the problem with the wannabes, the nouveau riche, the upper middle class.. they destroyed so many agricultural communities, again, trying to live up to a stereotype, that desire to be blue bloods, posh.. and even most of them weren't celebrities, just try too hard nobodies. . . or I believe the term is "Karen" -- it was the outgrowth of suburban sprawl to later follow with mcmansions... and the real gentrification was the attempts to run out anyone that fit their vision for their perfect societies, be it right or left. But again, I digress. It's far too late here. I just tire with how many Americans view California or even New York, like how foreigners sometimes view the U.S. - either in the extremes of good or bad, rather than what it is. It's quite anti-American, don't you think? But then it's easy to unite a mob with many competing internal factions, if you give them a scapegoat to sacrifice... It's a pity schools don't read "The Ox-Bow Incident" anymore.
@@KieroSi Agree…. The central CA region even has their own accent (dialect?) stemming from the migration west from our Okie grandparents and great grandparents that didn’t fully fade away. We absolutely identify more with Texas or Oklahoma (emphasis on “or” because…. You know… rivalry)
Many of those commenting about it based on general state border regions we are all familiar with. I lived in Tennessee for over 10 years and I can tell you the people there are not like the people in Alabama and Mississippi now date they like the people in Texas or Arkansas or Florida. So they share things in common yes are they more similar to them than that are to people on California or Chicago or New York yes but they aren't the same as people from other area of the South. The regions he mentions actually mirror a lot of the linguistic accents Regions as well
Something I have rarely seen covered is the Appalachian mountain dialect also known as "Coal Camp" dialect.
Oklahoma here. Oklahoma is separated by the red River as a border. Rural Oklahoma and rural Texas are very similar people. The large cities of both Oklahoma and Texas are more diverse people. University of Texas and the University of Oklahoma have a large rivalry in college sports.
I'm from Oklahoma. You're referring to the Red River Rivalry. It's one of the biggest rivalries in college football and has been going on every year for over one hundred years. The first game was played back in 1900. I love Texas and Texans are good people and good neighbors. If I didn't live in Oklahoma, I'd want to live in Texas. But for that one particular football game, it's obligatory for Okies and Texans to trash talk each other. It's all good natured banter, though. I think for most people, anyway.
There is a rivalry between Missouri and Kansas. They used to attack each other.
I've lived in Oklahoma since 1997 I moved here from Texas where I lived from 1969 to 97 and both states are similar in many ways and it's only in sports where there's a rivalry
There is a rivalry between Oklahoma and Texas in college football
The S.E.C. is gonna be crazy this year. Some great games scheduled, can't wait.
Yes sir Go Horns lol
@@TxGuy-kn1su You spelled "Go Dawgs" wrong. Lol
Boomer Sooner!
Go Longhorns!!!🤘
Trust me. Kentucky is the South. Not sure what this Yankee is talking about.
You can actually separate us by Deep Southern and Appalachian (Upper Southern) accents fairly well, but yeah we're all still Southerners. I figured that might be the point at first, but I don't know how Texas, Oklahoma, and much of Arkansas and Missouri got separated from Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia, other than him trying to make it so deeply about geography.
Right? Yankee AI
How do you have Missouri as a part of the south on the regular map, but not Kentucky? Then he even cuts Nashville - one of the most southern cities you'll ever step into - out on his "map"
No it's not lol
No, not really. Eastern KY is the same culturally as WV and bits of eastern TN. The deep south and Appalachia aren't really the same culture (it's like saying Ireland and Scotland are the same honestly), and central/western KY has more in common with places like Kansas than somewhere like Alabama or the Carolinas.
I grew up in Wisconsin. Winters are very cold and snowy with low humidity. Summers are warm and humid, with temperatures reaching highs of 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Autumn is beautiful and crisp, with a riot of tree foliage colors. There are lots of dairy farms and rolling hills.
Fun fact. Pittsburgh was and by some still is called the Paris of Appalachia. I never really got this whole southern food thing vs northern. I hear of dishes that are "Southern" and recall I've eaten it the exact same foods right here in Pittsburgh, PA since I was born. " Southern tea on down the line. My families actually arrived here from Germany and Ireland in the 1850's.
Winters in Wisconsin can be very cold. But during the summer it gets very warm and humid. It's about 80° ferenheight right now.
Oklahoma and Texas (Universities of) are changing athletic conferences this year. They went together so that they could continue the rivalry.
Gonna be some great games this year in the S.E.C.
Whoever made that map doesn't know anything about New England. It should be Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. I have to say it sucks to see half of new England getting lumped into the mid Atlantic. The two regions are VERY different.
you two are a delight. That video is bollocks though.
I thought the same thing! Connecticut or at least the part close to NYC could be included in the New York region. It’s NYC suburbs there and more New York then New England influence even though it’s in New England.
Don't worry Texans have it worst.........., East Texas and West Texas are extremely different culturally and georgically. The Eastern half with Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, Houston etc is consider the South. but this map has something called greater Texas, So rather Houston, Dallas, Austin being with southern peers of Atlanta, Nashville, Memphis, New Orleans etc..... it's in a purple group with Pheonix.
There is almost no difference between New England and New York and Pennsylvania and New Jersey
Y’all are all Yankees regardless so there is that. ~ love from TX
@@thetapheonixsorry but Massachusetts isn't Yankee Town. It's Red Sox Town.
Wisconsin and the rest of the midwest has a continental climate, which means that summers are hot and humid. The only places in the US with the oceanic climates that give you cool summers are the Pacific coast and the off-shore islands of New England.
The northwoods are not hot summers, they might get a 1 week heat wave in the low 90's.
I live in Northern Minnesota not far from the border with Canada and you can expect a high temperature in July about 27C (80F), in January the average high temperature about -8C (17F).
😮 does it really only get to 80° as the high in summer?!
@@ozzy7109 those temperatures are the average highs. The record high is 38C (101F) and the record low is -46C (-50F).
Wisconsin can have very cold winters, but the summers can be very warm. However, if you are on the coasts of the Great Lakes, the hot weather is moderated by the lakes. Spring, summer and fall/autumn in Wisconsin are spectacular.
The price we pay for the spring/summer/autumn is the brutal winters lol.
There is a rival between Texas & Oklahoma lol
It's a friendly rivalry. We like to have a go at each other, but we have a lot in common, and come together quick, especially in tornado season.
Oklahoma is just TX’s hat.
Texan here🙋♂️
Oklahoma & Texas' rivalry is very "sibling like."
They're actually very similar in many aspects, but when you add the combination of each state's pride in their football teams, PLUS the state history of Texas wanting to be independent from EVERYBODY, it results in a friendly lil rivalry lol
Cool vid. My Dad came here on a boat from Finland in 1961. RIP Dad, love you!
From Wisconsin..summers are hot and humid. Today was 85. Winters are ridiculously freezing. How we can go from 90° in July to -45° with the wind chill in January..it's beyond me.
Montana summers are incredible
Visit glacier national park and West Yellowstone
15:32 These are July average highs in some of the northern areas of the US...
Madison, Wisconsin: 28°C
Minneapolis, MN: 28°C
Chicago, Illinois: 30°C
Detroit, Michigan: 29°C
Augusta, Maine: 26°C
Boston, Mass: 28°C
Des Moines, Iowa: 30°C
London, UK: 24°C
Just for a benchmark, London doesn't get as warm as any of these cities during the summer but they also don't have to deal with the bitter cold -20 and -30 that the US northern cities deal with
Whoa…New England is Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. I think he was off base not including Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island as part of New England. I have friends in Connecticut, Maine and Massachusetts and another friend who grew up in Rhode Island and still has family there. They would definitely include themselves as New Englanders.
West Virginia Kentucky and Tennessee are southern.
Why didn't the interior west affect Cascadia? Mountains. Lots of mountains. Drive east from Portland Oregon on I 84 and in a stretch of about 30 miles the terrain goes from dark green and forested to brown and barren. This is when you pass from one side of the mountains to the other.
For the west coast, the most obvious answer why they are smaller regions is geography. 2 mountain ranges (Cascades and the Sierra Nevada) that run almost the entire west coast isolated the west side from the east side of the mountain ranges. Also, urban development largely grew around where trade goods could be brought in and out. It's not a coincidence that most of the largest populated cities on the west coast also happen to have large deep water ports.
When Spain was establishing Alta California, they stuck more to the coast because the central California area was pretty much marshland and useless when it came to establishing Missions or outposts. As the US moved west and started daming up the streams feeding into the valley, it dried up the wetlands leaving soil that was fertile for farming, emphasizing the divide between the central and coastal regions (with trade/shipping along the coast)
Summers in Wisconsin are around 80 to 90 degrees and very hot and humid.
I'd say the southern 1/2 is hot summers, northern 1/2 is warm summers. The Northwoods are not known for hot summers.
Greetings from Colorado guys!✌Great to see you. It's hard to find time with a little one, so thank you for the video!
I’m from northern Illinois just south of the Wisconsin line in the Midwest about three miles from Lake Michigan. HOT summers COLD winters.
I really hope James stops labeling Southerners as a bunch of farmers when it's obviously the Great Plains where majority of the farms are
So much for that Southern Hospitality
I currently live in Detroit , but have lived and traveled all over the great lakes region. I can tell you that anywhere in the region can GO from -20 or colder in winter to 90+ F in summer .its a place of extremes.
During the westward migration of the US, immigrants chose land that had weather just like what had back in their home countries. The knew how to farm that land, knew the planting/harvest seasons, what crops would do well. The only difference was it was THEIR land and not working for someone else on someone else's land. The common man wasn't a land owner. Coming to America changed that and gave them a chance to gain wealth through their own hard work. AND THAT is "The American Dream".
James, just for the record, all 50 states warm up in the summer, some, of course, more than others, including Wisconsin, where even in the northern edge near Michigan's Upper Peninsula, it gets warm to hot. However, in the winter, their lakes freeze over, and snowmobiling, skiing, snowshoeing and the like are popular. This is also true in Michigan and Minnesota all the way to the Canadian border and beyond.
He did well, until he got to describing Alaska as sub arctic, which is true, but it's not all that. In fact, it goes from Arctic in the north all the way down to Maritime in the southern edge of the mainland.
Hi Beasley's, the Great lakes region can be hot in the summer with temps on the 80 to 90, I think that is in the 30 Celsius. However, one interesting point that I think most people in Europe miss is that most of the US is further south than Europe. For example, the Jersey Islands where you live are about the same latitude as Paris, which is further north than Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and most of the Canadian/US border. Chicago is about the same latitude as Naples Italy. Our weather varies more than yours because of the Gulf Stream current which keeps the UK in a more stable temperature band.
Last time I checked, CT, Rhode Island and Mass are apart of New England
The main problem with this map is that it doesn't allow for overlap. For example, Kentucky and Tennessee would be in both the South and Appalachia. Eastern Texas would both be in the South and the "Southwest." New England is much larger than is shown. Minnesota is a Plains state as well as a Midwest state.
I was born in Houston and grew up just northeast of there. It isn't just that Texas is its own thing, its that Texas is several different things all at once. You can divide it up into roughly 5 different regions, that have a lot in common, but vary subtly in culture, cuisine, and dialect/accent. Texas was settled and built by a wide range of people/cultures and their influence can still be seen and felt here. We have a complex and conflicted history, but the more I learn about, the happier I am to be from here.
While not perfect, this was actually a pretty good explanation of the various areas.
What they didn't say is that there is a Scandinavian influence in the Pacific Northwest especially around Seattle as a large amount immigrated there to fish.
The Florida Keys is my Favorite area in the USA.
Grew up visiting Places like Gulf Shore Alabama, Destin Florida, Fort Meyers Florida, and now our family has a home in Siesta Key Florida. ….It’s the best Vibe in USA.
Siesta Key Beach has to be the best beach in the world….pristine white granite sands and just all around beautiful (Casey Key beach next door just as amazing….but unless youre Stephen Spielberg or one of the other Famous residents, You may have to visit the beach and pass on the luxury properties owned.
Obviously Miami is Amazing.
Key West is Amazing.
Florida beaches are the best
As a southerner that's been to 42 states, the deep south is my preference. Utah after that. North Florida is southern, southern Florida is northern Yankees
Technically speaking, the United States is composed of 11 distinctive nations with different cultural aspects. Unfortunately, this map did not represent the nation's correctly. One example is that parts of Texas is definitely a part of the southern district of the united states. We have Southern culture. I live in Fort Worth Texas and I can guarantee you that we have Southern culture where I live. Having said that we are not a part of what is called the deep south. But we do have strong Southern culture infused portions of Texas
been all over Texas and I love it down there. As a Tennessee native, it reminds me of my state a lot, but I guess it's where a lot of Texans originally were from here.
I agree, but I would consider it a subculture. I live in Texas briefly and have also lived in several other southern states. Florida and Texas are definitely southern, but they are different, more hybridized, and, in my opinion, slightly superior to basic southern culture. How can anyone criticize Texas? It’s practically its own superpower, and thank God for that. MAGA!
@@davidmichaels299 I don't think superior because all of the south has subcultures. Depending on where you are. I lived for a while in coastal Alabama and its a lot like the Houston area. Hill country is a lot like my area of TN. Dallas/Ft Worth is rolling pastures but culturally not as distinct as going to Utah, Minnesota, or Maryland. Cheers sir!
@@davidmichaels299 part of Texas and part of Florida are 100% deep southern states. There is a difference between being Southern and being from the deep south.
@@snowflakehunter I agree 100% with you
No. Central Florida is southern
Not Orlando
In terms of temperament, the areas of US fall on the spectrum between “kind, but not nice” and “nice, but not kind”. The difference being if you get a flat tire in the area:
“Nice, but not kind”: Well sympathize with you and hope your day gets better, but not actively help you.
“Kind, but not nice”: will help you change your tire while cursing you out the entire time.
You asked why the cultures from the west coast and the interior west didn't merge--there are giant mountain ranges in the way. That's the dividing line.
Wisconsin does indeed have freezing winters, but it also holds the record for highest heat index ever recorded in US history. With an air temperature of 101° F, and a humidity of around 71% (Dew Point of 90° F), the heat index in Appleton, WI reached 148°F (64.4° C) on July 13, 1995.
Wisconsin is colder in winter than England, but slightly warmer in summer. Comparing Madison, WI to London, UK, the average high temp in January in Madison is -4 Celsius compared to +7 Celsius in London. However, summer temps are closer, with Madison's average high in July being 25 Celsius compared to 23 Celsius in London.
I've always been taught that Texas is in the Southwest region(Texas/Oklahoma/New Mexico/Arizona) of the U.S. It is in the "southern part" on a map, but not really what we call the "South". ❤
I’d say west Texas mostly
MD has been referred to as "America in Miniature" because it is small but has a little bit of everything in it. Western MD has the mountains, central MD is very urban/suburban, and the Eastern Shore is more flat, and has a lot of farms as well as beaches (with wild ponies @ Assateague!). While we do have a lot of Irish ancestry, in the Baltimore region at least, there is/was a sizeable German ancestry. I feel like that was more prominent earlier in the 20th century.
As one TH-camr put it, we're proud like the South (see our state flag obsession lol), but abrasive like a north east state. 😂
Maryland is like a mixture of Pennsylvania and Delaware and Virginia
Yeah, I always like to see where people place us in these sort of culture maps, lol. Always feels like we're a bit of an outlier. When I play games online, northern people think I sound southern and southern people think I sound northern. 🤷🏻♀
I'm from Southwest Arizona & it makes sense that we get considered part of the greater Texas region for the most part which I'm fine with though we have both a pretty big Native American & Mexican culture & we're very agricultural
It's true, U of Texas and U of Oklahoma are long-term rivals, but there is a somewhat common culture between northern Texas, the Panhandle, and western Oklahoma. Eastern Oklahoma is a bit different, though. I found it more akin to Arkansas in some ways among Whites, but there's a large presence of Native Americans as well. The upper Midwest, like Minnesota, Wisconsin, etc., can be very warm and humid in the summer, but, yes, pretty cold in the winter. My childhood was spent in the 'cowboy' West--western North Dakota and Wyoming. I have lived about 60 years in the Pacific Northwest, which is culturally radically different than the cowboy culture I grew up in. We moved to Western Washington (Seattle area) when I was 11 and I loved it from day one. I've been in Portland OR for 34 years now and can't imagine living anywhere else. I love the dramatic landscapes of the Pac NW--from the Cascade mountains and their volcanoes, the rainforest of the Olympic Peninsula and the Olympic Mountains, to the Columbia River Gorge and the Oregon Coast. It's a wonderful place to live. And as the video points out, it's a very liberal, progressive region, which suits me to a T, even at the age of 74.
14:55 I only visited the Minnesota region a few times as a kid in the summer. All's I can say is HUMID.
Southern Michigan temperature ranges in 70s to 80s degrees Fahrenheit from approximately May to September. Winters can get quite cold and snowy from approximately end of November thru beginning of March. There are alot of Manufacturing and Farming in this area.
And if you live in the western part of Michigan, you will learn the phrase "Lake Effect Snow".
Yes Oklahoma and Texas are rivals in football.. Its called the Red River rivalry or Red River Shoot out.. Other than that we are basically the same people.. In fact most north Texans are Okies and most of the University of Oklahoma in Norman where I live, is comprised of about 80 to 85% Texas Kids.. And one last thing.. Both Texas and Oklahoma are part of the south.. This map is incorrect..
Okies and Texans are cut from the same cloth. But we (Okies) are better at football. And I agree that both states are part of the south, we're just not "Deep South".
@@OkieJay Boomer!!!
We get both colder winters and hotter summers than the UK in the Great Lakes. This is also true of New England.
This isnt the best map, but it's a good introduction. There's a ton more to go over.
It seems too many are stuck on the states and not the regions he was talking about. Many of the "regions" overlap, they do not follow state outlines or what we "consider" to be regions of states. Mid Atlantic is actually very different than this is if you look at "mid Atlantic States".
-40 degree temps in Wisconsin in the winter
Wisconsin has a 4 season climate that varies in temperature by seasons. December, January and February are the colder months... but the rest of the year is like the rest of the middle of the USA...
Wisconsin Summers are mild with an aveerage temperature in Milwaukee in July of 25c with a low of 18c some what warmer as yo get away from Lake Michigan. The January average -1c for the daily high and -7 for the low.,with heat waves in the summer 32c-35c and -28 c in the winter. Some summers are warm and some winters are cold with lots of snow.
Even the NE and Midwest can be in the 90s during the summer.
This map takes into account a lot of factors and uses certain definitions of terms to get to how this map looks. It’s meant to highlight some of the things a state border map can’t show about the reality on the ground. It’s not necessarily perfect but it presents a fuller picture of the Nation than simple state borders would lead you to believe. That being said The South is too small, I get why he did that but Texas is still part of the South.
It's hot everywhere in the summer but San Francisco.
MidWest is the Frozen Tundra. -30 to -50 weather in the winter thats Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotas as you go to eastern part of the midWest it has -2 degrees to 22 degrees Winters and can have -10 degree winters. Florida is 70 Degrees all Winter so North residents have a Florida home to go to in the winter. In Florida we call them Snow Birds. California and Florida are the warmer states in the Winter so many retire to Florida because its prettier and flat lands with zero mountains and not as expensive of a Paradise as California is.
The Great Lakes region and Chicago get very hot in the summer.
Summer in northern MN can get up to 90s. Very hot and humid.
These videos about regions of the United States NEVER adequately cover New England, especially Massachusetts. On this map it was lumped into the Mid-Atlantic region and Boston, as a major city, was never mentioned. Historically, Massachusetts was the second permanent British colony after Virginia. While Philadelphia is often called the birthplace of the United States, it was due to the colonists in Massachusetts that the Revolutionary War began in the first place. Philadelphia became the hub of the Revolution because Boston was blockaded by the British. The leaders of the Revolution, Bostonians like John Adams, Sam Adams and John Hancock, were deemed to be traitors to Englan. They were subject to imminent arrest and deportation to England to stand trial. The punishment for treason was death. They escaped to Philadelphia where the Continental Congress was formed. Philadelphia was also more geographically situated in the center of the colonies making access to Congressional meetings. It was easier for the delegates of each colony to attend. It was at these meetings that the Declaration of Independence was signed and so it became the "Birthplace of America". To me, the groundwork of the War, and the zeal for freedom came from the colonists of Boston. The rest of the colonies followed in the footsteps of The Sons of Liberty".
James, you need to Google architect Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water Home. Also known as the house on the waterfalls. Also, Ohio Pyle state park.
As someone who lived in Oklahoma for many years there is very much a rivalry with Texas. I lived in South Eastern Oklahoma which had some lovely rural scenery and small mountains/foothills. Every year Texan tourists would come up and tear the mountains up with their RVs, trash our parks, buy up everything in our grocery stores, and generally just be annoying assholes. Texas also keeps trying to buy native water right out from under the native people by using underhanded tactics like talking to the State Government instead of the Native people who actually own the water. They also love to use the area that I lived in for resource extraction. When I moved there was so much fracking and natural gas extraction that the land was literally destabilized. Now they've moved on to putting up wind turbines every 10 feet to power Texas cities like Dallas. Oklahoma State's Government is complicit in these activities so most of the people in my corner of the state wasn't well pleased with them either.
Ohio has a Lot of Amish, Utah has a lot of Mormons, The South is also called the Bible Belt there are way more Church's than anywhere in America. Minnesota has a lot of Vikings and Muslims. This American travels the Country and know the differences in each State.
Wisconsin can get up to 36 in the summers and down to -2 in winter
Summer in minnesota in the upper midwest is hot and humid with fridgid winters
I can definitely say my region was quite accurately called out. Especially given my mom’s side of the family and our dna results is super heavy on the Scottish-Irish. I can’t remember but there was an accent video a while ago that went over settlements and their shaping of American accents through the years
The best time to go to the northern United States to avoid the cold is May through October and the best time to go to the Southern United States to avoid the Heat is October through April. The only places to stay nice and warm in the winter time is Southern Florida and around the Gulf States along the coast and Southern Arizona and Southern California. If you go to Florida say in January the dead of winter it will still be in the low 80s. The northern states can get anywhere from 4 to 6 months of winter and cold weather and the southern states maybe just 2 or 3 months of winter. Also in the winter time it's warmer along the coast.
I dont think foreign ppl understand how amazing the beaches along the great lakes are too…..You can go surfing on a fresh water lake beach….
There are more miles of beach in Chicago than ANY OTHER city in the US.
@@TheRagratus A lot of the Beach is Indiana and Michigan too
They mentioned every state in the sub set of the south except Missouri & almost left it out of the Midwest to hear them talk you’d think it was just a big void in the middle of the nation
Y’all should react to “Who Is America and Why Are They So Divided” by Historical Amnesia. He better explains regional cultures of America in my opinion
You will need to come to Philadelphia someday.
Politically the densely populated areas of the big cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento and San Diego. tend to be left leaning. They primarily control the politics of the entire state. The less densely populated areas tend to be more conservative.
Living in ND, (and converting to C for your sake :) ) winters can get -40 (same in both systems) and normally to 30's C in summer with 40 being unusual but not unheard of.
Kentucky, Oklahoma, and Texas are considered southern states too. Honestly these states that are left out are more southern than any of the other states other than Mississippi and Louisiana.
Appalachia in a whole in general are EXTREMELY southern!!! Being a southern state isn’t necessarily where it’s located, it’s more of how the people and its culture as a whole are.
For instance, I’m from Ohio, but live in Kentucky. The culture in Ohio compared to the culture in Kentucky is like daylight and dark. In Kentucky the culture is more hospitable, religious, and agricultural. Whereas Ohio is more city driven, non-religious/catholic, and urban development.
The food, people, and beliefs are the biggest differences of the south compared to the rest of the US. One thing I can honestly say that the south has over the rest of the country is 1. Hospitality 2. Food 3. Culture
Wisconsin and Michigan are both large states, so the climates, and subsequently the majority of the populations of these states are in the southern end. The northern ends are usually what people think of as "brutally" cold, and raw. Illinois on the other hand is warmer to even southern sub tropical to the south, while almost 3/4 of the population is in the north. Chicago is unique--it has four distinct seasons, but because of the proximity to Lake Michigan it sometimes depends wind direction, whether in the colder seasons it is bitter or not. Chicago is also unique in that it is connected to the two largest watersheds in the world--the Mississippi River basin and the Great Lakes basin.
Oklahoma is the Texas that Texas thinks it is.
Do you have any examples on how? I’m just curious to know
The language of Appalachia is more akin to Gaelic than English as the people there are mostly Scots-Irish heritage but not how you would think. These people were essentially exiled by the British crown after the Ulster experiment failed and the people told the crown to get fucked. These people are fiercely independent and trying to make them do anything will almost assuredly end in a nasty fight, they do not like authority.

Not only are there different regions across the country, states are different as well, with different laws like buying a gun. In California you have to go through a background check and wait 10 days before you can take your gun home. In Texas there's no background check or waiting period. In California you can marry your cousin, in Texas it's a criminal offense. And I'm not kidding.
The southern part of the United States in the summertime is in the 90s and the 100s and then the northern part of the United States in the summertime is mostly in the 70s and 80s with some 90s once in awhile. Coastal New England in summertime is similar to England weather but they also can get a heat wave in the 90s once in awhile
He tried to lean *way* too heavily into geography when separating cultural groups. Notably with the South and West (Mormons just a subgroup? Colorado and Wyoming together?).
Being in the US Army and meeting people from all over, I can tell you that the blue (Texas), most of the grey (Appalachia) and the Red/orange (the South) are largely the same. I could usually tell apart people from the Deep South by accent, but most other Americans from outside The South couldn't tell any of us apart.
Lol its been 90 all week in Michigan. Summers are very hot in the northern states.
Hot? Y'all don't know hot!! Come to Texas where the temp reach over the 100s with a heat index of over 115 farinhiet!!!
That Midwest region they showed, would be called the Great Lakes region. Midwest is way too broad a term.
Honestly this map is still too generalized, and could be broken down into twice as many regions.
Have you seen the video of Max Mc lean reads the decoration of independence. I just saw that the other day.
This can be said with every state and region, but you could have a 30 min video on wisconsin alone and not come close to covering everything. Let alone why it's grouped in the Midwest region. Wisconsin is also influenced heavily by native american culture
