      Exactly right and people always think that the Civil War was about slavery but it wasn’t at all. It was about the federal government and the north telling the south how to run their business! ! We Southerners are feisty and Americans are pretty feisty in general. Robert E Lee said in the paper his freshman year at West Point that he thought slavery was disgusting but it would’ve taken act of God to get rid of it. He fought for the confederacy because he lived in Virginia!!
      I’ve heard so many rumors about him that are so untrue. People said that he hung black women and raped them and all that stuff which is simply not true. Robert E Lee had one boss and that was his wife and they had seven kids. The man didn’t drink or party like the other soldiers did. General Grant said Robert E Lee was so good that he could run both sides and he could still win. That’s quite the compliment!!
      It was all about economics and the Civil War was about the north trying to force the south to industrialize. I think the south would’ve done so overtime if they weren’t forced but the problem was is that the European on demand on cotton and tobacco it was so much that it really prevented the south from doing anything else.
      When I was forward another hundred years and what happened?? ALL Of those northern businesses that were so big in the 1800s and early 1900s all moved down south because it’s cheaper to live here!’
      It’s environmentally healthier and clean to live down here and it’s a lot cheaper! The weather is much much warmer and people don’t have to deal with trying to get out in 3 feet of snow to go to work every week or two. The taxes are a lot cheaper and gas is a lot cheaper here. All of those business up in Wisconsin and New York and Michigan went bye-bye and they all moved south, that Civil War had an interesting impact on America because flash forward 100 years and so many of those businesses that were forcing the south to do what they were doing ended up packing up and moving south!’

    This guy has a fun take on the states. I loved his statement on Oregan. All those handlebar moustaches are amazing....not just anyone can be so dedicated to the stache. Americans (me included) get defensive about their own states & regions, but laugh at others.

    Oregon, well, pretty much just the Portland Metro area, is the home of the hipsters! I wouldn't say it's all "lumberjack," just magnificent beards and flannel, plus ear gages, piercings, tatoos, dyed hair, edgy haircuts, knit hats (beanies) and fedoras! 😛(Plus veganism, gluten-free, organic food and outdoorsy-ness) Portland is also well known for its wealth of craft breweries, independent coffee roasters and food carts. Then further south of Portland in the heart of the Willamette Valley, we're blessed with sprawling vineyards and wine country (our wineries have won a few "best in the world" titles!) and also hazelnut orchards! Fun fact, Oregon produces 99% of the hazelnuts in the US, and it is our state nut! We also product a lot of fruit, especially in the town Hood River, from apples and pears to blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and marionberries (a type of unique cross between blackberries, raspberries and dewberries that was created at Oregon State University).
    The funny thing is that what most people immediately think about Oregon - green, lush, rainy, full of forests and waterfalls and hipsters - is actually only true for the western third of the state, which is the Willamette Valley. The Willamette river runs down the top half of the valley, which is cradled between the Costal Range in the west and the higher Cascades in the east, which keeps all the moisture coming off the Pacific Ocean in the valley and traps it as rain. Because of this, the eastern 2/3 of Oregon is actually high desert! And while covered in forests and mountains, it is much much drier, and also conservative. The Willamette Valley contains the majority of our state's population, and is very liberal, whereas the rest is very sparsely populated, full of farms and small, conservative communities. There's actually, funnily enough, a movement out there of some people wanting to secede from Oregon and become part of conservative Idaho (to escape the overwhelmingly liberal government in Portland), but seeing that Idaho would have to pay for all the reworking of government for who knows how many million square miles of land, I doubt it would happen any time soon 😂
    It is really interesting just how different the two different sides of Oregon are though! But if there's one thing that we all have in common, it's how much we love our forests and our nature. Almost our entire coastline is publicly owned, and open to all. And although we produce a lot of timber (there's a reason why people see us as lumberjacks! lol) but we ALWAYS replant, and we are super big on recycling! In Oregon we have 4 R's, instead of 3: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Replant!

    Kansas always gets a bad rap from those not from here. Yes, although it is mostly flat it is NOT all flat. I live in the Flint Hills of Kansas. And we have so much beauty in this state. From the beautiful waterfalls to the gorgeous sunsets. We have Rock City, Monument Rock, Konza Prairie, Castle Rock, and so much more. Yes, it does sound like all Rock, but it isn't. It's the "Home of the Range". The Sunflower State, the Wheat State, and the Maize (Corn) State. Kansas is the Breadbasket of America!

      I've been to Branson many times. It's a great place for families. Lots of shows, IE, Dolly Parton's Stampede. A really good Titanic Museum, owned by John Joslyn (who headed a 1987 expedition to Titanic). Real artifacts & reproductions like the Grand Staircase. The building looks like the Titanic. Not much worry about what you did in Branson staying in Branson either.
      He also didn't mention Lake of the Ozarks, 54,000 acres (220 km2) and 1,150 miles (1,850 km) of shoreline. You really need to have access to a boat there though. The bigger the better. ;0)

      @@michelesmall3858 Absolutely nothing that we did wrong. Literally every race on this planet has displaced a native population in some way (even Africans and Asians), the only difference with us is we didn’t kill them off like everyone else does. We gave them reservations and gave them rights, that’s unheard of with anyone else in history to do. Quit the guilt, that’s ridiculous. If you really want to know about how natives were usually displaced all around the world, just look at the Spanish who literally killed them all off, Mexicans are a byproduct of that. Northern Europeans who settled in America treated them more fair than anyone else in history had to other native populations, we were by far the most caring to them. No reason for your skewed weird self hating guilt. They also were killing themselves off constantly with wars and tribalism. Do you also forget we’re native as well? We’re native to Europe and also been displaced several times in history but no one talks about that, just how it worked.

      For sure, they may not technically be separate countries but there is a lot of similarity when compared to how countries vary in the EU. States might not be as culturally distinct as the EU countries are from each other but, they are still quite distinct and especially when you talk about the larger regions. Like the difference between south and north on the east coast for example. Even states next to each other can have pretty big differences and within the states there is a large variety as well. It's just such a massive country lol

At that time housing was more than affordable, cost of living was pretty good, and it would have been a great place to live for my health. But my husband took a different job in our state near the beach after I got us all set to move there. I sold our house, got us both jobs there and enrolled our daughter in school in Scottsdale. I think he got cold feet and didn't want to move that far from his family but I was so ready to leave and make a new life there. I'm still disappointed we never made it there. I just love Arizona.

      The plane had flown off the ground numerous times before the trip to Kitty Hawk. My grandfather was a young teenager in the early days of invention. He and his buddies used to hike for several miles out to Huffman prairie, sit on the hillside and watch the Wright Bros testing. The plane rose up and flew, but not high enough for a public demonstration. They knew the winds of Kitty Hawk were better because they’d been there before with a glider.

    Hello from Colorado. Like a lot of states in the US there is a lot to Colorado. It's where the Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountains. Besides the plains and the mountains, there is the desert southwest in the Four Corners where four states meet. We have over 300 days of sunshine a year (this catches visitors off-guard in the winter time because they look out the window and see a clear, sunny day not realizing it's only 15 degrees Fahrenheit!). We are the Centennial State since we became a state in 1876 -- had a huge celebration in 1976 when the US turned 200 and Colorado turned 100. There are areas in southern Colorado (like La Junta) that were originally colonized by the Spanish and later Mexicans before people from the eastern US moved out here. Denver, the Mile High City, is actually in a bowl and you go up hill in all four directions when leaving Denver. The lowest point in Colorado is higher than the highest point in Pennsylvania. We used to be a lot more like Wyoming with horses and ranches but we've been invaded by folks from California in the 1980s and lately by hipsters since weed was legalized. Please visit and spend your money here, but please don't move here. There are too many people here already, so we don't need any more (personally, I wanted fences to be installed in 1975).

I live in the northeastern part near the Tennessee and Georgia state lines, and there are many breathtakingly beautiful local areas...gorges, waterfalls, hiking trails, I could go on and on. Not far from my town (25-ish km away) is the place (then called Willstown, now named Fort Payne) where a Native American named Sequoyah (also known as George Gist/Guest) completed his independent creation of the Cherokee syllabary in 1821, thus making it possible for the Cherokee language to be written and read. Sequoyah Caverns is a local landmark where it's said he spent much time during this period of his life. My 4th grade class went there for our annual field trip back in the 80's. Another nearby cave, also in Fort Payne, is Manitou Cave. It's a moderately sized system, and its' walls still bear the drawings and writings of the Native Americans who once populated the area. It contains absolutely stunning natural features, as well. Fort Payne is the home of the Alabama (the country music super group) Fan Club And Museum, too, as it's where the members of the band are from. Fort Payne was also once the sock manufacturing capital of the world apparently. Wishing everyone peace, love, and good happiness stuff from the mountains of northeastern Alabama 🤘

Our great lakes are beautiful and if you are ever here during Christmas it's gorgeous. I have lived in Arkansas, Alabama, Wisconsin, Oklahoma and Michigan. Each state is very unique.

    As a person living in Kansas for almost 30 years, can tell that it is NOT the flattest state in the Union. Have been all across this beautiful state and seen things that native Kansans DO NOT know about unless they are from the immediate local area. Yep - -Kansas CAN be quite flat. Have been to parts of the state where you can see 100-miles in ALL directions and, IF you stand on a beer can, you can see another 100-miles. MOST of your mid-western states are like that though.
    Arikaree Breaks in northwestern Kansas, considered a "mini-Grand Canyon"
    Flint Hills & Smoky Hills of the central part of the state
    Glacial Hills in northeast portion of the state
    Gypsum Hills in south-central part of the state
    Monument Rocks (Chalk Pyramids) & Castle Rock/Badlands Region in western part of the state
    Big Basin area in southwestern part of the state
    Also, Kansas has the Kansas Cosmosphere, which houses lots of artifacts from the USA space agency and is supposed to have one of the largest collections of Soviet-era space relics outside of Russia.
    Strataca - rather large underground salt mine and also used to house important documents
    Also, the Santa Fe Trail, Oregon Trail, parts of the Mormon Trail, Parts of the Pony Express Trail, and Historic Route 66 pass through the state giving you different variations of scenery
    Cheyenne Bottoms, the largest wetlands in the country, are in the center part of the state AND Quivera National Wildlife Refuge is supposed to be the largest saltmarsh in the country and is not far from Cheyenne Bottoms. BOTH areas are great for BIRDWATCHING.
    Lots of Native American history throughout the state. Also, plenty of Pre-Civil War/Civil War related locations to visit.
    Kansas was also home to some of the meanest/baddest/roughest COWTOWNS during the 1800s starting the, but not limited to: Baxter Springs, CAldwell, Wichita, Newton, Ellsworth, Abilene, Hays, Dodge City. Also, plenty of historic forts/military history throughout the state.
    Home of Amelia Earhart and President Eisenhower and others.
    The GEOGRAPHIC CENTER of the Contiguous 48-States is located in north-central part of the state (got to travel to South Dakota to visit the site for ALL 50-states)
    The LARGEST BALL OF TWINE is also located in the state

One day I bought a bag of "Idaho potatoes" and just happened to notice the small print on the bag: Grown and packaged in California. LOL! I noticed some puzzled faces at the mention of Standing Rock in ND. Look it up.

However, twice per year Pidgeon Forge hosts the "Rod Run". This is when everyone and their brother who has hot rods, big dawg hogs, monster trucks, and the occasional Ferrari comes to town and re-coats the road with rubber. All the locals and visitors set up chairs and coolers on the sidewalk and watch. Even the cops will just sit there and watch all the burnouts.

This organization sends books to children who are signed up to her organization to help them to not be illiterate like her father was. If you want to know what her childhood was like listen to the songs called coat of many colors or the song Backwoods Barbie.
