Alaska’s flag has the Big Dipper on it made out of stars in pretty sure.
Yes. It also has the North Star, or Polaris, on it as well
And at the far side of the cup...if one draws a line thru the two stars that form the top and bottom of the cup (the dipper), and extend the line...the line will run thru the North Star...Polaris! That's how one FINDS the North star, if they are lost and don't know which direction they're going.
Bah you guys beat me 2 it. But ya big dipper and north star.
Lets get technical, the "Big Dipper" is Ursa Major (The Great Bear). There is also a "Little Dipper", or Ursa Minor (Little Bear).
Also... When Alaska was Russian, it had no cities and a few villages in it, which is why Russia had no problem selling it. There are still Russian churches there and a significant number of orthodox believers, though few to no ethnic Russians. That is because the religion was passed on to the local native people. The Russians returned to Russia after the sale as they were all hunters/trappers, not permanent residents.
Alaskan flag isn't just random stars. It's the big dipper and the north star.
It also lets you know where the state of Alaska is located..😁
Also, I don't know if it was mentioned, but we bought Alaska in in 1867. When Spanish Flu ravaged the world in 1918, there were still Alaskans that thought they were Russian citizens and the US Government agents had to explain they were Americans now, and the Tsar wasn't a thing anymore. That's how remote it was.
ok polar bear
@@danielbell4435 no

"Are there any Russian cities in Alaska?"
Are there any Russian cities in Russia? Seriously it's really cold...
There is,that’s why people are named “Russians”
He said settlements though not cities
Not really. The most prominent thing that the Russians left behind is the fact that a lot of the indigenous Alaskans are Russian Orthodox, though. Alaska is, percentage wise, the most Orthodox state in the Union.
Duh!
Sitka.
Sometimes in upstate NY, we might have more snow and colder than Anchorage Alaska.
NY is not separate it’s a state that has a city named after the state
Kenneth Adams NY has a NYC and a NY inside the NYC
@@weskerposting ? NYC is the biggest city in NY... it's not even the capital
WastedTalent Manhattan is sometimes referred to, as “New York”. NYC has Manhattan in it, and NY holds NYC in it, which has NY in it.
Its amazing how many people in well educated areas don't know this. Every time I'm in London, someone says: "Oh you're from New York? Like Brooklyn or Manhattan?"
"No, the big part between Canada and Pennsylvania."
doctor bright NYC has five boroughs and Manhattan isn’t even the biggest. There’s also Queens, Brooklyn- the most populous, Long Island, and Staten Island- where the Statue of Liberty is supposedly located even though it’s actually in New Jersey.
The reasoning behind the saying "everything is bigger in texas" is because everything is bigger in texas.
Yes
as a Texan I can confirm. lol
Yeah, just for the record Texas is 15 times bigger than the entire country of Estonia www.mylifeelsewhere.com/country-size-comparison/texas-usa/estonia
Big girls too...😏
It's kind of a self fulfilling prophecy. Texas was a big state, for a long time the biggest. Being the southern-most state, it's climate is very friendly towards insects, which grow really big there. Cattle ranching is a big industry there because thousands of acres of high quality grassland allows cattle and cattle herds to grow huge. From there Texas just gained a reputation for big stuff and people just started making big Texas stuff.
Yes, there are Russian living in Alaska. Nikolaevisk is a small village where its inhabitants are Russians.
That is actually really interesting to me
Now THIS I did no know
Considering that the US bought Alaska from Russia in 1867 that is fairly logical.
Well that makes sense since Alaskian territory was formerly owned by Russia
@Nathan Gonzalez at some points you could swim to Russia from the US. Or at least get there in a rowboat.
Michigan has a household income higher than 17 other states, so much of the reputation is based on a couple cities... Michigan was the center of American car industry for most of 20th century. Michigan went all in on that industry, but to remain competitive in world market the car plants were closed and moved to countries with cheaper labor... Leaving once very wealthy cities Flint and Detroit to fall apart from Urban decay.

Hey, I mean we got two military training camps here to so we changed 👌🏻🇺🇸
Yeah South Carolina did start it
Michigan failed and became poor when all our Manufacturing jobs moved out of the country. We used to be the most industrialized state in the USA.
CALLSIGN BENZO a lot of it happened after ww2 because there was no need for all the manufacturing jobs anymore
My great grandfather built freight train cranes in Michigan, now the site where the factory used to be is totally gone.
It’s depressing.
Yep, I viewed it as a type of 'Gold Rush' situation. There was a lot of gold (jobs) available and people came from everywhere to get 'rich.' Evebtually the 'gold' dried up and everyone realized that there wasn't really anything else in the area to do so...
Manufacturing, automotive, steel industries.
Well.......I couldn't have put it any better, besides adding the state government problems
The way he calls Pennsylvania and Virginia the “history” states as if a huge chunk of the Revolutionary War didn’t happen in Massachusetts
Yeah the shit started in Boston. In a tavern in Boston lol. This guy isn't that smart.
The Roach Den ah yes because every european learns about the american revolution
I mean VA was where there was literally the first colony, the majority of the civil war battles took place in VA, but important revolutionary battles as well and almost all the founding fathers are from VA like it can’t be understated how much history is in VA.
@@johnappleseed8146 i didn’t mean Virginia isn’t a history state I just meant more about the lack of mentioning Massachusetts when talking about US history considering everything that happened there
@@edvinoapelsino2526 He was talking about the commiefornian.
"Did US do bang bang" had me ROLLING😂😂
Knowing Hawaiians they probably said "sure whatever we'll be a state"
As a Texan all I can say is that not even we know why we make everything bigger here.
Fr real lol but hey love my state👀
As a Tennessean all I can say is that we love Texas. We got history.
because we're the best state
You make everything big, just because you can
Texas is home to the most Penis Pumps.
Delaware is where every company gets incorporated, because their laws are so favorable.
Why did I read "favorable" as "flavorful"? 😀
Delaware is home to some really beautiful beaches, really nice beach towns (looking at you Lewes and Rehoboth), and really genuine people. And chickens. If you pass a Kiwanis Club barbecue chicken stand, turn around and go back to it. You won't regret it. But if you're downwind of a chicken house, it can smell more like underwear than Delaware.
Just curious - when he was talking about California being the home of three of the largest tech companies in the world he showed logos for Apple, HP, and Amazon...Amazon is headquartered in Seattle in the state of Washington.
Goes to show not all Americans know their own country its funny as fuck.
I myself included. Seriously i feel more europen then american. Also probably doesn't help my situation that i gotten connected with people from aus, finland,sweden and uk. Some germans and Japanese guys
And also nabior of mine thinks its social media or the net ite like na dude i got connect with them in person really easy as well but they never seen the people ive talked to and shit man so its like the fuck.
I do belive Americans are really confused by things in europe very easy it confuses the living hell out of me. Its like why americans so confused by europe things so easily when myself believes what europen is doing makes way more sense then american things do.
What happened to Michigan: Automotive industry and recession.

Ethan Godsey when everything is good again to travel in the world.. you should definitely make a trip there. It won’t take much convincing after watching a few videos. Beautiful nature, one of the most well preserved medieval cities in the world, a lot of fascinating history, that is well explained in the museums around everywhere.

ROMANIAN WØLF The US is a rather interesting nation, like many nations, it has a high crime rate like most developed nations, but is also a rather happy nation as well?
Though I think Romania sounds like a cool place as well. At least our two nations are both in NATO if I remember correctly. I could be wrong though
When he said "New York" he meant the state. Yes, the city is in a state that has the same name.
The Great CooLite Exactly
I cried inside as a New Yorker
Athenos nice state
New York, New York the city so nice they named it twice. Yes, New York City is ....a CITY... but inside the state of New York. Yeah... real original NY.
@@Cheemsarion Does the rest of NY hate/look down on/ get tired of NYC?
The stars on the Alaskan flag represent the constellation Ursa Major, or the Great Bear. Some people call it the Big Dipper, because of the shape. Two of the stars of the dipper point directly to Polaris, the North Star, which seamen have used for centuries to navigate in the open sea. Together, they are brilliant stars of the northern sky, as you know.
Fun fact, Ohio's Cleveland Orchestra is one of the best Orchestras in THE WORLD.

“ wait what happened to Hawaii? Did the Us do the ‘bang bang’ and now it’s a state?”
Yes
Well, a small handful of Hawaiian rebels did the bang bang. They placed the queen under house arrest and declared independence. Then they asked for US to be recognized as a territory. They later voted for statehood in the early 1950s.

I always got the explanation, that a bunch of our people moved there...then we became the annoying boyfriend and just never left. Just moved in without asking.
Merica
@@Thoths_Pen those rebels werent Hawaiian natives though. They were the troops organized by white american businessmen who overthrew the monarchy and then wanted recognition by the US government. This actually almost happened I think in Nicaragua beforehand
Alaska’s flag is the “Big Dipper” constellation, and the the end of the Big Dipper, always points towards the North Star, which never moves. The night sky appears to rotate around The North Star because of Earth’s angle and rotation.
Gah thanks for typing it so i didn't have to. Native Alaskan here
@@trylikeafool According to Wikipedia, it is called the "Great Wagon" in German and Slavic traditions. I wonder if it is similar in Estonia.
Yea its just for Americans. Its “Great Wagon” for the rest.
@@arturrehi I'm a Russian American & live in Alaska, so yes, there are Russians living in Alaska. We even have our own Russian communities & small towns, where people just get drunk & go to banja (sauna).

The buffalo are coming back! And it make me so happy, first time I saw a new buffalo herd I broke into tears of joy, you don't know how important the buffalo were too us natives.
Great thing! Super excited about it too!
And all thanks to one rancher that decided to corral some so he could sell their meat. Every buffalo living today is descended from that herd.
Wait really that’s awesome I’d love to see some
I’m confused between Buffalo and bison are they different?
@@marshallcarhart579 While the terms are often used interchangeably the true name for the "new world" or American buffalo (which includes the plains bison and wood bison) is simply bison, which means the term bison specifically refers to the American Bison (often called buffalo).
While the term buffalo specifically refers too "old world" buffalo (such as the water buffalo and cape buffalo)
So technically Bison = American, Buffalo = Afro-eurasia
Washington DC a.k.a. the District of Columbia is a separate entity because it is the capital of the United States, New York city is a city in New York State it is not a separate entity.
JBBrickman when I heard him say that it was painful. I’m from upstate NY and whenever I go somewhere and tell people I’m from NY they always think I’m talking about the city.
@@pleavnplarker541 In general, residents of the New York City area and upstate New York don't like out-of-staters confusing them.
Detroit was run into the ground, Detroit is in Wayne County. In 1950 Wayne County richest county on Earth. It was already a world center of automotive production, then the Second World War needed tanks, planes, trucks and even ships. Race riots, crime, and drugs destroyed its economy and culture. In the first decade of the 21st Century the city of Detroit was raffe with graft, mismanagement , and went bankrupt in Federal Court. It lost control of its own finances for years. It is filled empty houses and closed factories. When people from anywhere else in Michigan or the USA hear the name Detroit, they think of the big failure it's become.
Pleavn Plarker same
@@pleavnplarker541 I feel your pain. People always assume i'm a "city boy" when I say im from New York, but that couldn't be further from the truth. I live on a horse farm in Orleans County, New York. I love camping, hunting, fishing, trapping, and I am on my school trap shooting team.
Michigan's heart was Detroit the 'Motor city' where most automobile manufacturers were based and then they left or went under setting off a chain of events that crippled its economy.
No USA automobile industry was shitty with wired designs but last stroke was Japanese imports
everyone talks about Detroit when talking about Michigan, what should be talked about it you know, THE GREAT LAKES. basally an inland freshwater ocean
Also the 1967 Detroit riot -
The heaviest casualty, however, was the city. Detroit's losses went a hell of a lot deeper than the immediate toll of lives and buildings. The rebellion put Detroit on the fast track to economic desolation, mugging the city and making off with incalculable value in jobs, earnings taxes, corporate taxes, retail dollars, sales taxes, mortgages, interest, property taxes, development dollars, investment dollars, tourism dollars, and plain damn money. The money was carried out in the pockets of the businesses and the white people who fled as fast as they could. The white exodus from Detroit had been prodigiously steady prior to the riot, totaling twenty-two thousand in 1966, but afterwards it was frantic. In 1967, with less than half the year remaining after the summer explosion-the outward population migration reached sixty-seven thousand. In 1968 the figure hit eighty-thousand, followed by forty-six thousand in 1969.
@@seanmiller2642 I still believe motor industry can be revived with capital and motivation but Crona dealt very heavy blows to economy.
There is another thing majority of people are ignoring right now but its matter of national interest is Oil is dirt cheap right now and dollar take direct hit due to this.
The Us best economic investment is Petro/dollar but unfortunately due to Russian involvement the oil market crashed and Asian countries took advantage of it.
The China is greatest consumer of oil but they have already started trading in their own currency right now and trend is followed by India...which is going to use gold to buy Petroleum.
The Middle East is allowing it cuz they are offering better price for dumping the dollar......so don't worry about Detroit USA is going to have very very bad time and even tech industry is behind Asia's right now.
@@UsmanSiddiq1 Only because Asia steals technology and thanks to Trump getting our manufacturing out of other countries, Asia is getting crippled as they cant innovate jack shit without America and now we just need those politicians who betrayed America publicly executed.

About Russians in Alaska: The entire region of What today is Alaska was owned by tsarist russia under the name Russian America. It was settled mostly by Russians however these ”Russians” also included Ukrainians, Romanian, Siberian Yupiks, Mongolic Peoples, Chukchi, Koryaks, Itelmens, and Ainu people. A number of these Russians mixed with the local indigenous tribes (that’s the reason why some natives in Alaska are Orthodox Christians) and created the Alaskan Creoles. Most of the tsar-aera Russians assimilated into American society. Most Russians in Alaska are people who came before, during or after the Sovjet aera. There is a town called Nikolaevsk where around 2/3 of the people are descendents of those Russians that came in the 1960s. Some places in Alaska who are Russian settlements include: Three Saints Bay, Fort St. George in Kasilof, Pavlovskaya (now called Kodiak), Novo-Arkhangelsk (now called Sitka) and Fort (New) Alexandrovsk and some more that i Don’t care to mention.
Who is mongolic People?
take the noble priest prize
ЦАХА I don’t know, that’s what it said on Wikipedia.
Also some of them didn't even know for a while that their were no more czars and that they were Americans

Michigan has so many amazing and beautiful things going for it - beaches, lighthouses, waterfalls, Mackinaw Island & Traverse City, and over 20% of the world's fresh water supply, but all that most people want to talk about is the downfall of Detroit. :/
"Where the Red Fern Grows" Is in Oklahoma not Arkansas
Thank you! Finally someone said it. Why did he think that "Where the Red Fern Grows" is in Arkansas?
Beat me to it. I was going to say the same thing. Born and bred Okie here also retired US Army (30 years)
“Where the Red Fern grows” was actually based on a town in eastern Oklahoma called Tahlequah. The town is actually the capital of the Cherokee Nation, one of many Indian tribes here in Oklahoma.
My Mother was born on a reservation in Oklahoma
Oh god i remember reading that book in middle school very sad
Indian?
Yep your correct however the kid doing the video wouldn't know that because he did zero actual research and is using generalizations and stereotypes to describe the states he knows nothing about.
Chattanooga Tennessee used to be the Cherokee capital
“So Americans just came in and *bang bang* we’re here now, and the Hawaiians lost their freedom?” Yes, literally.
Actually Hawaiian Monarchy lost it's freedom the people gained the bill of rights. Which is why the independence movement is really small.
There’s a little bit more to it than just that. But...it’s not much better.
no so the u.s sugar interests encouraged that the king will be overthrown by other countries and Hawaii was a republic in 1893 u.s domination of the islands five years later it also became a territory in 1900 this brought the united states as well as Hawaii in too WW2
Hawaii became part of America because they got overthrown by its own gov and became annexed to the US due to its strategic positioning in the pacific ocean

@@jaywalkallstar correct.
@@jaywalkallstar SC was the first to secede and don't forget the first major battle was at Fort Sumter, SC ;) But yes they decided to put the capital in Montgomery so Alabama started it. Or was it Mississippi since Jefferson Davis was its first president... hmmm.
A very over simplified explanation of what happened to Hawaii that I can remember from my memory, so please take it with a grain of salt. Hawaii was their own sovereign country. In the 1800's Europeans and Americans arrived in Hawaii (And also in other Central and South American lands) to build plantations. Mainly growing in Hawaii banana's and pineapples if I'm not mistaken. The plantation companies started growing really powerful and influential, forming militia's and holding political sway. Eventually in Hawaii these American banana republics overthrew the Hawaiian monarchy and took over the country. And the US pretty much went, "Ok that's cool, we'll just claim this land as a territory now." So they were a US territory until after WW II when the US made them a state.
Long and Short: US business people overthrew a legit monarchy and the US took over their land.
As for New York, it is confusing for non Americans. Everyone has heard of New York City. But NYC is just a city inside the state of New York, it is just named the same thing. NYC isn't even the state capital of NY either.
And as to why Southerners are typically more fat than other parts of the US is because firstly the food that the South is famous for is full of butter and fried. We may not make the healthiest food, but boy does our food taste good. Also sadly, the South by region is the poorest region of the US with the South still not fully recovering from the Civil War and Reconstruction. And here in America the cheapest food to eat is the most unhealthiest. It's cheaper to eat a cheeseburger than a salad basically.
Hope these help answer your questions Arthur, Love from Virginia
I agree, also I think a reason Hawaii was annexed by the US as a US territory was due to the Spanish American war and Hawaii would serve as a great Naval base for US forces in the pacific.
Paul Dixon Also, if you read up on it, both Britain and Japan were vying to claim Hawaii as their colony as well. They were a little surprised to be beaten to it by the US. In fact Japan was a little miffed that we beat them to it.
It wasn’t Banana Republics it was actually the Dole company and several other Pineapple/Sugar producers and in 1883 led a rebellion using the plantation owners under the name “committee of Safety” and after applied to the US and was rejected and almost replaced by under the old monarch under the constitution she thrown out. Thus Dole declared himself the ruler of the Republic of Hawaii and tried to sell the Republic a few times to England,Spain,France. Till in 1900 it was passed in Congress in the USA to annex Hawaii after 7 years of being independent and being a republic
I’m from Hawaii, here’s what happened just a small correction, yes plantation was a huge factor, it was mainly sugar cane (mostly Asian workers now our population is like 60+ % Asian/mixed), the queen attempted to close the border and ports for a lockdown because disease reduced our population by around 80% because just like corona we had no immunity, (measles, STDs etc). The plantation owners didn’t like this idea called the US navy and overthrew the Queen illegally, technically we are still an illegally occupied nation in legal terms which is where our green and yellow flag comes in. This is us claiming sovereignty. We also have the state flag the British looking one which is often flown upside down to signal distress in the state when America tries to pull more shit like that. I once dressed up for Halloween and carried the flag around Honolulu, I have never gotten so many cheers in my life haha
@@baskgraff Thank you and everyone else that commented and added more to it. I'm defiantly no expert as I'm from Virginia.

@@tdollars8052 That must have been what the Mamas and the Papas were talking about when they wrote California Dreaming.
Not me, who could ever think Indiana is the best state lol.
I love California. We don't have quite enough water to sustain our population, our air quality is some of the worst in the nation (especially in the San Joaquin Valley), a series of raging infernos happen nearly every year, taxes are high, gas is expensive, and I'm pretty sure Mexico is attempting to re-colonize the place. The best part is that rent is some of the highest in the nation, just to pay for the privilege of living here. And having a car is so essential to living here that, when faced with the choice, a surprising number of people choose to live in their cars, because being able to drive is more important than having a proper (and very expensive) roof over your head. CA is so nice that other states are growing extremely tired of the numerous Californian diaspora communities that form in cheaper states, and the population of CA is only stable because the exodus of Californians is offset by the intake of foreigners. Yup, truly the best place in the US.
Born in Massachusetts, I like to think this is the best state. Definitely has lots of history but it's riddled with tough laws, strictness (more than I've seen in other states), and Massholes. Also, it took me a half an hour to learn and remember how to spell the state correctly.

The south in fact has the best food in the states. The terms "southern cookin" and "soul food" come from the south. When they cook, THEY COOK! If you had for instance, if you had a girlfriend from the south, and asked her to make a small dinner, expect a mountain of food.
imnevermakingavideo it indeed is not, it is the food
The food, and sweet tea, but the fact that it's so spaced out is a factor as well. It's hard to walk anywhere unless you live right by it. So you normally drive everywhere. Then again i live in texas so idk if it's the same for other states that take less than 10 hours to drive out of.

As s person from Mississippi the reason our state is “fat” is because we eat great real food that is delicious, but does cause fat. Also we have the best SWEET TEA, and the most boring state
FIRESTAR37 Hey now, we (I’m from Mississippi too) may also be fat because we like FRIED food too much. Also, the states not boring if you farm bruh. I don’t know what part of Mississippi you’re from, but you can help farm anywhere in the state. If you don’t like farming, try fishing, if you don’t like fishing, then make something else up to do.
Sweet tea? You mean sugar, with a dash of tea.
The best sweet tea? I think you're gonna have to take a hop, skip, and a jump over the east and come to Alabama. There ain't no way y'all have better tea than us
I think the level of poverty and the poor education system and the culture are what make the south obese. In NYC we have great food all over the place but people in cities tend to care about their appearance a lot more than southerners.
Eli Buse what I mean is if you take all the states and get all the Americans to go to each state, the top 5 boring states would be Vermont, New Hampshire, Wyoming, Mississippi, and Montana. I do farm a lot and love to go fishing but not everyone enjoys that. Food wise your right but theirs other great home meals that can causes fat

I'd say no, Illinois, which might get someone asking if it was Chicago? Nope, 300 miles SOUTH of Chicago.
What many Europeans don't realize is that our states are as large as many European countries.
Which reminds me of the following rule of thumb - In Europe, 100 miles (160km) is a long distance. In the United States, 100 years is a long time.

Michigan, has the city of Detroit which is where most of the US's cars were manufactured. Then that all fell through and most of the buildings closed up and hence Detroit kinda looks like Pripyat in the Ukraine.
Alex Phalen your right since I live in Michigan and have been there, and it looks like Pripyat but a bit better.
Except with more crime.
I live in Detroit: I can confirm this is true. Also: crime. Lots and lots of crime.
@@johnriley8642 And just barely less radioactivity.. lol
As someone that lives in the downtown core of Detroit, I can say that part of the city has made a bit of a comeback. That being said, there is a lot of work to do to make sure that the growth and success is felt city-wide, not just in pockets.
Fun fact: Louisiana doesn’t have counties we have parishes.
*[The Parish from Left 4 Dead 2 starts playing]*
Why does Louisiana have Parishes instead of Counties

Americans: we don't talk about it.
AmericaBall Also Americans: ALL THE BUTTER IN SOUTHERN COOKING!
The southern people just be making really good food
@@th3lev1athan22 tbh i never tried south food
Because we're all poor and junk food is really cheap.
Because the South in general is a melting pot of cultures that know how to cook and a lot of people just don't really workout in the gym all day. And some people eat too much. Basically the reason people get fat anywhere.
Southern cooking is why the South has more obesity so basically a lot of good food and hot humid summers that make excersize outside miserable as well as higher poverty levels.
isnt WV the fatest

Hey Artur. I’m an American and I enjoy hearing your thoughts on America. They provide some deep context into others opinion of the nation I live in.

Iowa is covered in rolling hills and Kansas has a difference of several thousand feet from east to west.. making it a giant hill .. Florida is actually the flattest state in the U.s with only 160' of elevation change in the entire state.
Thank you so much I’m from Kansas and I literally looked up when he said it
Yeah, Iowa has hills...near the Mississippi. Otherwise it's all flat like Nebraska...well, Nebraska has a slight incline the further west you go...hm.
* *_Louisiana would like to know your location_* *
Kansas is also where Pizza Hut, White Castle, most of the major US airplane manufacturers, Coleman, and Mentholatum were started.
The first helicopter and autopilot were invented here also.
The Eastern and Western parts of the state are also rather hilly, it's only the middle that seems flat, and yes, the entire state rises as you go west. So no, it is not literally the flattest state. We don't call tornadoes twisters either. More than a little sick of these silly stereotypes.

Michigan’s economy collapsed when the automotive industry failed. They manufactured most of our cars.

A native from Michigan here, which I have a vague idea of how my state filed for bankruptcy. While in the early 1900s, my state was so rich due to the automobile industry. Which Michigan is and was famous for, sadly over time, all the companies moved out of country to places that workers would work for cheaper. Aaaand there is Kwamie an ex mayor of Detroit who would use state tax money for his own personal use.
Michigan's largest city is Detroit where the car companies are headquartered. The credit crunch of 2008 and subsequent depression caused the city to collapse. There's a lot more to MI than just Detroit though.
DC is a a city territory while NYC is within the bigger New York, the Empire State
You know too much
Delaware is actually pretty wealthy and populated for its size. It’s the home to the headquarters of most banks in the US.
I am from Michigan. The thing that happened here is Detroit had a very strong industry and is still known as the "motor city" because it's where automobile companies were mostly founded and built cars, but in the 1950's companies sold to China because they had a lot cheaper labor, which led to lack of jobs and people mass migrated to the suburban areas surrounding Detroit, which led to a collapse in the industry and economy and making Detroit and Chicago the 2 cities in america with the highest crime rates.
It's like that guy was the head of the department of tourism when he was talking about California. And you asked why southerners tend to be fatter. I'm from West Virginia which is like the northernmost southern state but still one. Basically, a lot of southern culture revolves around like food, feeding other people, eating with your families, etc. Also a lot of the stuff we eat tends to be a bit higher in calories.
Fried foods and sweet tea.
John Byrd minus the tea, I actually hate tea
Kaleb I grew up in the Shenandoah valley, have family and own land in WVA and have family in Garret Co Maryland. I hate to burst your bubble but y'all ain't Southern. Y'all are country and rural but ain't southern. I mean y'all say pop instead of soda. That's northern talk there.
West Virginia split from virginia and became a state to side with the north. Yall ain't part of the south.

Long story short: the native Hawaiian kingdom was conquered by a fruit company that then sold the land to the USA.
I love Dole!!
When Hawaii was an individual state, Sugar businessmen took away the native Hawaiian land in order to turn it into sugar cane fields. Then American politicians forced the previous king before he died to let them into the Hawaiian cabinet in order to only influence the islands. But, Colombian sugar was being imported as well as Hawaiian sugar, so the sugar cane businessmen and the politicians both agreed to annex Hawaii in order to get priority over Colombian sugar, making Hawaiian sugar way cheaper and so, way more popular than the competition. And when queen Liliuokalani became the queen of Hawaii she wanted Hawaiians only in her cabinet and to undo all of what the American politicians did ever since the king died. Saying that Liliuokalani was causing chaos and unrest. leading to the invasion of US marines to seize the kingdom. Liliuokalani protested instead of fighting back to avoid conflict and bloodshed. While the queen was being seized, the American politicians became the new "provisional government", though the Hawaiian people petitioned against the annexation, the provisional government used a resolution to make Hawaii anew state for America. Making the annexation of Hawaii illegal and no politician has yet to right these wrongs. Check out oiwi.tv/oha/paa-ke-aupuni/ For more details, mahalo
Buffalo numbered in the Millions until the 1800's, there were so many herds would cover whole states at the same time.
The pipe through North Dakota didn't actually run through any reservations. It went around them, but they still kept claiming it was theirs.
Well the issue was it was so close that if a Spill happens it would go on there land. I remember the protest and such well, also ran by quite a few rivers and streams.
The fact it went around and not through is part of what the Standing Rock tribe was pissed about.
After they refused the original plan for the pipeline it was rerouted up stream of tribal land which meant the tribe not only lost out on the continuing revenue they would have gotten from the land rental, but were STILL in danger if any spill happened.
"Everything seems shiney and bright". Sometimes the most beauty in the States is found in the places without the shiny, bright reputations. Foreigners who want to really understand America need to explore beyond NYC and the big California cities. Go visit smaller towns in Ohio, or Kansas. Go visit rural communities in Pennsylvania. Or South Carolina. Then you'll really get a better picture of what America is all about. Go meet blue collar workers and farmers. Get away from the cities. Much of that life style is artificial and materialistic, and doesn't represent all of America.
The best of America is what many call fly over country. Most of the European immigrants came to America after the Civil War for free land provided by the Homestead Act. 160 acres, a quarter section, which is a quarter of a square mile. You can see the square mile road grids and quarter sections of farms on the satellite image of many midwestern states. Notice there are NO kilometer road grids... The American farm term of the back 40 involves the 40 acres located the longest distance from the mile roads near the center of the square mile... Even the irrigation crop circles cover a area of a quarter section, usually four crop circles in a square mile...
Thing is New York and California or other big cities have mixed cultures so when foreigners come to visit, they don’t feel so afraid that they alone. If they go to other small places like you suggested, I’m sure they’ll experience racism or just not accepted.
Yes go there so they can rob you, please, they need the money.
@@Buttsceatcgee You're "sure" about that eh? You're clearly a man of the world. Yeah, they're all deplorables, and the big cities are all friendly, safe and sound -- no racism, crime, or violence there. And why even bring race into it in the first place?!?
@@Buttsceatcgee that is a very small minded comment. Have you ever been to "fly over" America? If not, I suggest you go and expand your mind a bit. You would be surprised at how inconsequential race or ethnicity really is in the small towns.
Artur, I happen to live in Clarksville, Indiana. Now, this is a unique small city, see, I live next to the Ohio River directly across from the major city of Louisville, KY. This makes a unique situation. Just 12 km. from either city the time zone changes. So in essence, both cities are "disconnected" from their home states. We affectionately call our little area "Kentukiana". So this happens all over the country, it really creates even more beautiful diversity.
I'm a Canadian living in British Colombia and when I seen Alaska's Flag I was like "thats the big dipper!" its a star formation. :) You were wondering what the flag was supposed to represent.
I suggest you react to the biggest US cities by Geography Now. It gives a bit more information about each state and its culture as well as showcasing how important even small state's cities are.

As an Oklahoman, I can say that not only are we part of Tornado Alley, but we have a saying of 'wait five minutes and the weather will change' (or some variation of that). One day it can be 80+ degrees F and sunny, the next will be 45 degrees and rainy with storms. Then a couple days later it might have freezing weather. The summers get 100+ degrees and the winters might take out power with it's freezing weather (not just snow, I'm talking freezing rain that piles up into thick ice blocks). But that's just the weather. :) The people are pretty nice.

@ThDemonLord 252 Eat your cereal.
I’m not sure if anyone already told you, I am only finding this video now, but I’ll do my best to explain what happened in Hawaii. I’m actually a college student in Honolulu on the island of Oahu. The Hawaiian government was overthrown by wealthy plantation owners who wanted to gain control of more land so that they could make more money. I believe there were five major companies that took part in it, they still exist today, one of them is Dole. But the men in charge of these companies had connections in the US military (at the time the US had a military outpost here, the same as today). They used their connections in the military to get troops to help them, but the soldiers were under the impression that there were American citizens in danger and didn’t know the real reason for what they were doing. They were only able to take control because the queen surrendered to them. She knew that the US government wouldn’t do such a thing and intended to wait and sort matters out with them. She did this because a similar event happened with a British sailor (I don’t remember his name or rank), who tried to claim Hawaii for Britain even though it was already a country. But the King waited and talked to the government only to find out that the sailor had not been ordered to take control of the islands. But going back to the overthrow. When the US got word of what had happened they sent someone to figure things out and see what the people of Hawaii wanted. They learned of the illegal overthrow and that the people wanted their independence. The man who was sent there had no intention of claiming Hawaii but when he returned to the US, other people in the government decided that it would be a good opportunity to gain control of Hawaii. So they took advantage of the illegal overthrow and made a deal with the illegal government that the plantation owners had set up in order to make Hawaii a state. But since this deal was with a government that had been illegally formed Hawaii is technically an occupied nation and not a state. I hope I have remembered everything correctly, I’m a bit rusty on my Hawaiian history.
"Everything is bigger in Texas" is an anachronistic saying that comes from a time when Texas was the largest state but they still cling to the saying anyway. This hasn't been true for over 60 years as you could easily fit two of Texas inside Alaska and still have 126,076 square miles left over .
To put that left over space into perspective, the space left in Alaska if you carved two of Texas out of it is still enough for 7.2 Estonias.
Just for fun, I did the quick math and you can almost fit 38 Estonias (37.98 to be exact) inside the borders of Alaska. While you can "only" fit 15.38 Estonias inside Texas.
--Bonus fun fact--
Estonia is bigger than 9 U.S. states:
Rhode Island, Delaware, Connecticut, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Hawaii & Maryland
