I mean, there kind of are. One could argue that the various Reservations considered together make up a third subdivision. In South Dakota, the Great Sioux Reservation literally isolated the western part of the state from the eastern part. I don't think this is as pronounced in North Dakota, but it is commonly said that the East halves of the two states have more in common with each other than they do with their own respective western halves.
Lived in North Dakota for a few years, loved it, but 9 months of winter per year was ... unique coming from a southern coastal region which doesn't have snow. Beautiful place but I honestly enjoyed the experience however -30/-40f to 20mph winds is crazy.
Such good math. 2/3 of the population lives in the south. You say less than 1/2 live in the north. Yeah. The math works out to 1/3 of the population lives in the north. 1/3 is less than 1/2. The math works out, the verbiage is weak.

@@matthewpavlantos9132 Let this enter History as the Principle of Waxelplacicity. As Einstein and Goedel truly taught us, in The Secret Annex, Waxelplacicity is everywhere.
Ironically, today the cultural divide is not north/south but east/west. Perhaps less so in North Dakota, but in South Dakota, those cultural and economic ties to the East contrasted with the settlement of the Black Hills via gold rush, which meant the cultural and economic ties were to California. And with the (remnants of) the Great Sioux Reservation (from the Ft. Laramie Treaty of 1868) between them and forbidden to White folk, the two halves--with the Missouri River marking the "boundary"--of the state, "grew up" separated from each other, again, with no rail connections between the two halves. (Not only was there an Indian reservation in the way, but rail crossings of the Missouri River were feats of engineering and construction and therefore expensive.) Added to this, the drier West River area is more suited to livestock while the flatter and wetter East River area is more suited to grains; immigration patterns were more eclectic and integrated in the west as people came to work in the mines from a variety of countries and in the east, immigrants settled in more homogeneous settlements; and population and thus political power concentrated more heavily East River. The state even split east and west with the advent of Standard Time with the western half of the state in Mountain Time and East River in Central Time.
It's quite interesting to see the 100th line of longitude not only splits the wetter east with the arid west of these 2 states, but other states farther south also experience this divide in climate at precisely this line.
But SC is in Iowa, one thought too many to keep with the plot. Sioux City’s airport is coded by the FAA as SUX. The city petitioned for change, but feds refused. I am a proud owner of a t-shirt that proclaims “My home SUX.” I got it at the airport, of course.
These politicians were so preoccupied with whether or not they could [make two Dakotas] that they didn't stop to think if they should [make two Dakotas].
The people in the Dakota Territory voted to separate the territory in half when the territorial capital was moved from Yankton to Bismarck. After it was separated in half both North and South Dakota applied for statehood and became states.

Lived there for my entire childhood. It’s not quite a garden of Eden or a child’s dream. If you go to any city that has a population of over 50k expect it to be ugly and bleak. But on the bright side, almost everyone can drive pretty good. And it’s absolutely stunning in the black hills, especially the spearfish canyon.
Actually, Western Dakota was not inhabited by Dakota/Sioux, but the 3 Affiliated Tribes (Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikira). It was the Mandan/Hidatsa villages in ND where Lewis and Clark met Sacajawea. In fact, the Mandan and the Sioux were sworn enemies. A common misconception. Coming from a North Dakotan.
It really sucks that people just gloss over the Three Affiliated Tribes. They were an integral part of exploration and then settlement of North Dakota. That all said, the sioux did hold small portions of land in the southern portion of the state west of the missouri. Sans Arc and Hunkpapa for instance in the SW Corner.
@@petelipson3769 because the Sioux controlled most of the land east of the Missouri and therefore by far the most territory in the state. The Three Affiliated Tribes, were mainly confined to the Missouri, and a few of it's tributaries like the Heart and Knife Rivers.
Mr. Terry really needs to watch this video. He and other History TH-camrs like him are the most vocal proponents I can think of what I'm gonna call Dakota Unification.
There was some concern early in the North Dakota/South Dakota war when the North Dakotans opened with a volley of hand grenades. There were some tense moments until the South Dakotans pulled all the pins and threw them back. Okay, that's a joke, but with 20/20 hindsight it would have made more sense to split the territory east and west. As usual, the East River politicians didn't really take their own western half into account when they were splitting things up.
They are. Winters can be long but thats the only negative. Plenty of space and fresh air. If you like hunting, fishing, kayaking, and other out door stuff like that its heaven on earth.
Lol Chandler is right. I know so many people who move here for 18 months from CA, TX, or FL and then decide they can't take another winter. You have to be tough, hardy, and enjoy the cold to make it up here.

@@John-bo1sz The real rivalry in South Dakota isn’t even with North Dakota, it’s actually between west river and east river. That tells you all you need to know about which Dakota is better.

I'm living near both Montana and Florida, here in Norway. The Dakota territory was filled up with quite a lot of Norwegians. So many, in fact, that there's about the same population of Norwegian-Americans and Norwegians.
I'm a North Dakotan, and I'd like to say Yanton being flooded by a river after a winter is about the most dakotan thing you can do. And I feel kinship with them.
As a South Dakota Native 1. Its a beautiful state 2. There's a much bigger divide between the east and west in SD. The Western part of the state has the badlands, black hills, Mt Rushmore, and has much much more wide open spaces. Big ranching country. Its more like Montana and Wyoming. The East side is much more urban with a much larger population and also being a Stones throw away from Omaha, Minneapolis and Kansas City.

Is it correct to say that the name of North Dakota's capital got its name from the certain Iron Chancellor across the Atlantic Ocean in Germany as a way of honoring him?
Many Germans moved to North Dakota after the Homestead Act. Many came from "Russia", what is now Ukraine and are known as Russian Germans. Catherine the Great opened up Southern Russia (Ukraine) to Europeans in the late 1700s. When Russia started requiring German settlers to conscript in their wars in the late 1800s, many left for America.
James Hill, known as the "Empire Builder,'" built the Great Northern Railroad, and built towns along its path with names like Glasgow, Havre, Bismarck, etc to convince immigrants to move there. He practically gave them the land to farm. Of course, they had to use his railroad to get the crops to market.
1906 Grandpa Paul Westberg and The Swede Boys from Minn homesteaded out in ND south of Dickinson. worked on the railroad and helped local farmer harvest grain. but because of locust and bad weather all returned home and other directions didn't stay. fun fact
1:05 Slight error here. After being part of the Michigan Territory, the eastern part of the Dakotas was part of the Wisconsin Territory first, then the Iowa Territory and the Minnesota Territory last.

Australia had a similar situation between 1927 and 1931, when the southern part of the Northern Territory (capital in the northern port of Darwin) was split-off along the 20th parallel and called the territory of Central Australia, governed by a Commonwealth Government appointed Administrator in it’s capital, Stuart - unofficially called Alice Springs. Central Australia was re-joined to the Northern Territory in 1931, when the Depression had hit the Commonwealth Government’s Treasury hard. The NT’ Stuart Highway stretches south from Darwin, down to Katherine (320 kms or 180 miles south - at the bottom of the Territory’s Top End), then on to Alice Springs - the capital of the Red Centre - 1,400 0kms or nearly 900 miles from Darwin. Or a 2 hour jet flight. (Kym in Darwin’s kid-brother city - Palmerston - 30 mins south of Darwin (our pop. Is now 40,000 vs Darwin’s 140,000).

I am a South Dakotan and the land and cultures are very different between North and South Dakota. Do you really need a North and South Carolina or a New York and New Jersey? p.s. South Dakota was first settled by the French, especially West RIver, and that is why many of the towns and rivers have French names.
Watching the names of Native peoples replaced with “such-and-such Territory”, then seeing those territory and state lines redrawn again and again, led me to see the history of how land is divided up as meaningless, arbitrary, and artificial. It’s like listening to someone explain how they arrange their furniture.
In a way, this is like the situation in eastern Oregon and eastern Washington, being part of the interstate infrastructure of Idaho and sharing economic interests that differ greatly from the western urban areas of Oregon and Washington.
Rhode Island actually has a very interesting history. Roger Willams was a man ahead of his time, and was persecuted harshly for his belief in separation of church and state; while also treating Natives humanely. He was able to secure a piece of land to allow religious freedom from the British Protestant Church (which influenced the Bill of Rights), and that’s why it still exists today…

I am a South Dakotan and the land and cultures are very different between North and South Dakota. Do you really need a North and South Carolina or a New York and New Jersey?
p.s. South Dakota was first settled by the French, especially West RIver, and that is why many of the towns and rivers have French names.
Based on geography and population centers it really should be West and East Dakota lol
60k people were too few people to admit a new state.
Hey, yo, you REALLY need to have a New Jersey!! New York doesn't want it anyway, and NJ doesn't want to be part of NY.
Robovoice blows it again …
Watching the names of Native peoples replaced with “such-and-such Territory”, then seeing those territory and state lines redrawn again and again, led me to see the history of how land is divided up as meaningless, arbitrary, and artificial. It’s like listening to someone explain how they arrange their furniture.
Corners?
For the same reason there are two Carolina !
In a way, this is like the situation in eastern Oregon and eastern Washington, being part of the interstate infrastructure of Idaho and sharing economic interests that differ greatly from the western urban areas of Oregon and Washington.
I live in East kadota.😅
Well at least South Dakota has Mount Rushmore
What is the Dakota Sioux
Why do any Dakotas exist? They could be reclassified as Terra Incognita.
So next explain the 2 Carolina's 😊
Often wondered why🤔
Kevin Costner wanted it called Yellowstone
North Dakota wasn't technically a u.s. state until the 2000's as they overlooked approving something.
Southern North Dakota and Northern South Dakota are the same place.
2 too many? (I guess talk of emerging is off then.)
in the Canadian Football League, there were once two Rough Riders teams
Wrong, one Rough Riders and one Roughriders.
Completely different.
Why does Rhode Island exist? Just combine it with Connecticut.
Rhode Island actually has a very interesting history. Roger Willams was a man ahead of his time, and was persecuted harshly for his belief in separation of church and state; while also treating Natives humanely. He was able to secure a piece of land to allow religious freedom from the British Protestant Church (which influenced the Bill of Rights), and that’s why it still exists today…
We need remerge them again and call it Great Dakota.
Im a South Dakotan, and live in best Dakota
What about North and South Carolina?!?
No railROADS? Are you Canadian?
Is there anything interesting stories between North Carolina and South Carolina or Virginia and West Virginia?
Don't forget North and South Carolina...and Virginia and West Virginia! ;)
i propose further division of the large plains and mountain states. eg montana. wyoming. nebraska. bith dakotas. ok. tx. all of them.
It's pronounced Saint L-OO-is. ;] Interesting video as usual though. :]
Why are there two Dakotas? Because misery loves company.
SOUTH DAKOTA: carrying North Dakota since 1889.😂😂😂
Seems like we should fix that today.
Soon Canada being the 51st state ?
No Carolinas video?
It's terrible here, please stay away and don't move here
Sincerely, everyone in the Dakotas, myself included.
Do they still hate each other? I propose they reunite and admit Puerto Rico in the vacant spot
I thought they just lacked in imagination when thinking up names
