Yeah , the population change part did ! Majority of the portion is below 0.0 ,which means population is decreasing but as we see USA politics they are very concerned with their population and are decreasing immigrants but by the map we realise its decreasing.
Haha. Yeah. Also assuming that California is catholic because of the Portuguese residents when they are actually less than 1% of the state’s population? This narrator needs to do more research.
Yes Hawaii's population is majority Asian and Pacific Islander but white also has a high percentage something like more than 35%. Depends on how you look at the video's map. The map looks at the USA as a whole nation when it comes to minorities. If you look at just Hawaii alone then it is actually African American lol
I liked the Portuguese map. A nice little personal touch. I actually grew up in California near San Francisco and there were a few Portuguese kids in my high school. There had been a settlement in the Northern San Francisco Bay Area. And they were descended from that wave of immigration.
I find funny how there are so many Portuguese immigrants in the US, France, and other non-Portuguese speaking countries while so many of their own colonies were left underpopulated (except for Brazil, of course).
Newark, CA had the highest concentration of Portuguese descendants in the US. That is reflected n the place names. The next highest was a town in New Jersey.

I found an old globe in my middle school’s basement a few years ago when getting props for the school musical. It still had the USSR and the British and French colonies. The guineas were also grouped together
My school's current map was drawn by the time when it was built like, in 80s or something and it still has, USSR Czechoslovakia Yugoslavia Austrian-Hungry and alot more. And, mistakes like, Kinshasa instead of DR. Congo.(DRC's capital) And, Germany is divided. Definitely, the painter was drunk.
I'm from Hawaii and I can say that we have a lot of retirees and senior citizens (perfect climate to retire). So that could be a reason why when you factor the number of older people the average may be higher than others states. That and we have a lot of Asian people who came from countries that normally have high expectancies (e.g. Japan).
Population density makes the Catholic numbers look misleadingly small on the map. The US is actually more Catholic than it looks-- it has the fourth largest Catholic population in the world and more than any European country. Plus, Roman Catholicism as a denomination is actually bigger than any individual protestant denomination, at around 25%, with Baptists coming in second at around 15%.
I'm from Rome, hi. I think that catholicism in the USA is Spanish in the South (California, Florida, New Mexico) and Italian, Irish, polish in the north. By the way italian Americans are 80% from the former kingdom of Sicilies.
That being said the only 2 'Christian' religions with a population birth rate above 2.0 is Mormonism and the Amish/Mennonite religions. Theres maps that show that if it stays like that theyll take over in the next 200 years. The Amish population actually doubles every 25 years thats how high their birth rate is.
Nice video... A few years ago the History Channel made a show called how States got their shapes... Could have been interesting but they turned it into... welcome to this city in Texas which is famous for BBQ. Then talk about amusement parks and Bs. Nothing to do with how they got their shapes
Being from South Carolina, I am surprised our water usage is so much higher than our neighbors in NC and Georgia, which are more populated (and Georgia just as hot). Heck, we seem to lead the east coast. My best guess is that it's because we have more golf courses per capita than any other state, and golf courses require enormous amounts of water to maintain.
It's because they whole state reports rather than being broken down by county. Same with North Carolina. That map in particular is severely broken. The low and high usage areas in the west are largely due to population density being low with high agriculture, or exceedingly low population density in those counties.
South Carolina and Georgia are not in the top ten for Golf courses per capita. The Great plains states and great lakes states all have more golf courses per capita. Basically every one of the least dense states has more golf courses per capita then most states because there is often one golfcorse per reasonably sized small town. So mapping golf courses per capita over population density would be an interesting map. Also yes many states have more golf courses numerically when they have a greater population sizes numerically, but increased land cost often limits courses per capita numbers.
There’s book actually on how states got their borders “How the States got their shapes” I forget most of them but usually states were divided by parallels just because that easy or they are decided by rivers or a mix of both (rivers that become straight lines). Also some planning occurred especially in the central-western states to make the states equal at that point. For example Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota all have roughly equal latitude height. And them together with Colorado and Wyoming have similar lengths too.
I recommend that too...it really explains things. East coast was based on colonial charters that were set with partial geographic knowledge and sometimes overlapped. Additional states were carved out with some sense of balance with neighbors...Alabama and Mississippi being best example.. almost exactlty the same size. Prairie states similar-sized rectangles, mountain states similar-sized rectangles. Natural barriers and local politics explain the inconsistencies. CA and TX were powerful enough to enter as large states.
This exactly. The 37th parallel divides UT, CO, & KS from AZ, NM, & OK. And then the entire western border of NJ is defined by the Delaware River. And like you said, both sometimes. Like between NY & PA where most of it is the 42nd parallel until it reaches the Delaware River and that becomes it's border. MD, DE & PA are the result of the Mason-Dixon Line

Can you make a similar video about Europe? I think it's pretty interesting to see how different we are on this small continent. I love your videos btw. they're entertaining, and helps me to understand more geography and history.
Woah, the last map really drives home how incredibly young the US is. I grew up having picnics in a castle ruin dating from the 14th Century, visiting museums from the 15th and earth works and burial sites dating all the way back to the Bronze Age, all within 20 miles of my home. And in European terms, my country is fairly young xD
I'm sorry, I meant no disrespect. I fully appreciate that static settlements are in no way "better" than a more nomadic way of life that doesn't leave as much behind, at least in the form of buildings. I admit that my rather flippant comment referred specifically to the history of the US as a country rather than the history of the continent itself, which is of course long and fascinating, and most definitely stretches all the way forward to this day. And yes, I'm aware that not all cultures developed metal working in the same stages as we did in Eurasia. I simply referred to the Bronze Age because that is how we count time here in Finland. Had I been talking about the history of a different continent, I would have used terminology that would be better suited to that specific region's (pre)history. Again, I apologise. I meant no offense.
This was very interesting. Utah’s motto, Industry, while mundane on the surface, goes back to early pioneer attitudes of hard work and perseverance. It also relates to Utah’s nickname; The Beehive State.
I'd like to echo this sentiment. Most of the time, words change meanings over the years and sometimes new words are invented. So Industry was used because no other word existed at the time to better describe what they were trying to communicate, and now it means something a little different. My favorite example comes from one of the editors-in-chief of the magazine Popular Mechanics. Surprisingly it features next to nothing about actual automobile mechanics as we'd interpret the name today. As stated, it's a tech magazine and the word technology just didn't exist in 1902. However, anything that was high tech at the time, was mechanical, and referred to as that. So the magazine was named Popular Mechanics. If it was created in 2002, it'd have been named Popular Technology as this new word better describes its content and the old word means something a little different.
As someone who lived in RI for 16 years and now living in MA, I can definitely say we have a ton of Portuguese people. I love the food so much flavor and spice.
Newark, NJ too, but only the west side of it. It's incredible how different the west side of Newark is to the rest of it. The Portuguese side is fun and safe. The rest is a fucking cesspool.
The official name of the church since April 26, 1838 (for over 183 years) is, "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints". Mormon was an ancient prophet that compiled a book called The Book of Mormon, another testament of Jesus Christ. Members of the church worship Jesus Christ. I recommend you update the map data to reflect them with Christian status. Thank you
I was coming to the comments for this exact purpose. I know he is just going off the map data he found, so I don't blame him, but "Mormonism" isn't really a thing as the official name of the church states. Still, cool that we get mentioned as 1 of 3 "types" of Christianity.
"Chinook Jargon" is an English phrase to reference a mixed/creole/trade language used in the Pacific Northwest, which is based most heavily on the Chinook languages; the word "jargon" is literally an English word.

Italian as well, New York has a massive Italian American population and the states around it have sizeable ones as well, far larger than the Portuguese American populations.
The states with the longest life expectancy are mostly blue states. Blue states tend to spend more on soci programs than red states. Also, California has a large Hispanic and Asian population and when combined all together it accounts for it's very high life expectancy.

4:06 Small correction here "Chinook" is the language, and in this case "Jargon" is a synonym for "language". It's just what the settlers ended up calling it - especially because early in Washington's history, Chinook became a very prominent trading language, melding with English, with some words from Chinook being used by locals up to today. Cheers!

The large number of Catholics in the Northeast is due to Irish, Italians, and around NYC also Puerto Ricans and Dominicans. Elsewhere in the country, it's due to various Hispanic groups, most notably Mexicans. Re small number of Jews, I think that there are only something like 12 million Jews worldwide, of which around half live in the U.S. In a country of over 300 million, that's not a lot.
Also because of the proximity to Québec. More than 10% of New England's population is of french canadian descent... over 500 000 french canadian moved to New England looking for work during the second half of the 19th century.
Not because of immigrants but because of the Spanish who colonized the Southwest and built tons of Catholic churches/missions in the 1500 and 1600s. Remember those Catholics where here way before the US
Something that is sort of interesting is that the American Hispanic population in most of the US is primarily of Mexican extraction. The folks that live in Arizona or New Mexico or wherever either came from Mexico or had parents that came from Mexico or ancestors that came from Mexico at some point over the last several hundred years. And I suppose I'm probably due back to when those areas were actually physically still part of Mexico. In Florida rather uniquely, the Hispanic population is overwhelmingly of Cuban extraction. There's always been a large population of cubans in Florida, but following the Cuban revolution in 1950 the number exploded, and then I got another bump during me Mariel boatlift in 1980. This is interesting because there is a fundamentally different cultural background between two groups. The food is very different for instants, the accents are different, and this occasionally causes tension because tourists will come to Florida and assume everybody is Mexican because the only Hispanics that ever met our Mexican, and the Cubans don't like that very much. They're very proud of their own identity. There's no ground significance to this, it's just interesting I guess
Some folks of Mexican descent didn't come from somewhere else, but rather settled these areas when they were part of Mexico and never left. They didn't come to the U.S., the U.S. came to them.

To be fair to the vid/map, it does state oldest buildings. I am not sure if the serpent mound formations and other such archeological sites would be considered such.
Not all white people are Caucasian. Caucasian isn't a race it's a ethnic group of people that have ancestry in the Caucasus like Azeris, Armenians, and Georgians. People that are Caucasian are white but not all people that are white are Caucasian. Like Italians are white but they have ancestry in Italy not the Caucasus so how are they Caucasian. Same with if your like 100% Irish you are 100% Irish how can you be Caucasian if you have no ancestry in the Caucasus it just doesn't make sense. You could use the argument that all white people are Caucasian because every white person came from the Caucasus but by that argument you are also implying that everyone is African because every human came from Africa. So in conclusion not all white people are Caucasian and it's really annoying for people who are actually ethnically Caucasian to hear that people are using the word Caucasian the wrong way. I wrote this comment just to rant because this video got me kind of angry because he kept miss using the word. Don't take me serious this was just to blurt out my thoughts.
The city I live in, vallejo, is considered the most diverse city in the US (2012). My high school had a lot of Latino, Polynesian, African American, and Asian people. It’s the coolest thing about the town in my opinion. I was really happy to have friends from different backgrounds.

Technically the descendants of Portuguese in Hawai’i are from the Azores. If I am not mistaken, this was not part of Portugal when they arrived in Hawai’i during the sugar plantation days.
@@4_the_health_of_it You are absolutely mistaken. Firstly, the bulk of Portuguese immigration to Hawai'i came not from the Azores but from Madeira. And secondly both archipelagoes have always been part of Portugal, as they were both uninhabited when the Portuguese arrived there and got swiftly integrated into the kingdom and populated.
@@jorgecandeias I agree that most likely came from the Madeira rather than the Azores, but both are autonomous from Portugal. While they were colonized by Portuguese (and the Spanish - from the Iberian peninsula), they were always considered independent and they have since gained full independence since the 1970s. Most the inhabitants to these islands (Azores and Madeira) were there long before the concept of a Portuguese kingdom. And, thus these islands had long established themselves as somewhat independent before the rise of the Portuguese kingdom.
This American use of the terms Caucasian and Hispanic are confusing. What the heck do they mean by Hispanic? And for that matter what do they mean by Caucasian? If Hispanic means they come from a Spanish speaking country then there is no one race that fits that term as the racial varieties across the twenty Spanish speaking countries of the Americas are huge and Spain itself is a Caucasian country. I read recently an American saying how he was surprised when he went to Spain that it was such a 'white' country. He'd been left confused by the American misuse of the term Hispanic to denote a race. Did he expect them all to have Mayan roots? So Spain (as well as places like Argentina, Uruguay etc) are both Hispanic AND Caucasian. The whole thing is a mess.
I hope people understands that "consumes" water is a misleading phrase. Water does not disappear. It's recycled constantly. Almost all water was created since the time the Earth was formed. We can make water and destroy the bonds of water into gas but not for the purpose of making or destroy it. But that mention is barely a footnote since it's in minute quantities compared the the total. Like a grain of sand on a beach small.
0:56 The difference between California and Mississippi is 5.91, not 7. Even you use the highest value, which is from Hawaii, the difference isn't 7 years.

It's hard to take anything you say seriously when you get 3rd or 4th grade math wrong. Also at 11:14 you incorrectly state that Kansas has a structure from the 1500s and that's incorrect. The map shows it correctly but you read it incorrectly.
I've been to Hawaii several times and I'm always surprised at how many native Hawaiians I meet have a Portuguese ancestor(s). I could be wrong but I think the Portuguese settled and interbred with the natives sometime in the 19th century.
Hispanics are different groups lumped in the Hispanic group. So by your logic you’re saying Haitians, Jamaicans, and other black latinos and black Caribbean’s are lumped in “African American”. They’re different cultures. It should be just called black.
I think its supposed to be "Jargon" as in the word meaning like "special words or expressions that are used by a particular profession or group and are difficult for others to understand."
8:12 You SHOULD make a video about how the state borders were drawn, because a lot of them have incredibly interesting stories. In the east, early colonial charters establishing borders were very vague, and often conflicted. Vermont exists because both New York and New Hampshire claimed the area, and the settlers caught in the middle got fed up and declared independence. Maine was an exclave of Massachusetts, and something of a colony of a colony. Rhode Island started when the Puritan settlers kicked a guy out of Massachusetts. New Jersey and New York fought in the courts over places like Staten and Ellis Island until the 1970s. The first colonies also claimed huge swaths of land going west, which helped lead to the Revolution when Britain banned western expansion after the Seven Years War. These claims didn't come to fruition, and the lands became territories. As more people moved into those areas, Congress and territorial governors slowly began dividing up the land somewhat arbitrarily, usually for the purposes of not creating states that were way too big and making sure all states were connected to transportation routes, like the Mississippi and its tributaries and the Great Lakes. Of course, there are exceptions. Michigan and Ohio both wanted a strip of land on the western shores of Lake Erie called the "Toledo Strip", and almost went to war over it. Ohio was granted it, and Michigan got the Upper Peninsula as a consolation prize.

I didn't get why General Knowledge was surprised with low jewish population percentage, because comparing to european numbers, the amount of jews in US is ENORMOUS. If somebody ask me, i never expect almost half of Jews living in USA instead of their national country. Jews are small minority, no surprise relative percentage is comparing to other nations.
that's because of the holocaust. Eastern Europe had the most population prior to WW2. The population of Jews living in Arab lands pretty much disappeared after 1948 when our people were kicked out following the establishment of Israel. (The last Jewish man living in Afghanistan just left after the Taliban took over there). Jews living in Ethiopia were airlifted to Israel. We are however losing population in the U.S. due to intermarriage. Jews in America also have a lower birth rate than Jews in Israel, except among the Hasidic population.
Regarding the age expectancy in USA ,males have a age expectancy of 76 whereas females have a age expectancy of 81 years , literally a difference of 5 years i think thats why it ranges from 74 to 81 maybe due to the gender as well.

It’s only a debate among other Christians, and like any internecine religious dispute over who’s a TrueFan™️ and who’s just a fair-weather frontrunner-such as whether Reform Jews should be considered Jewish, or Sufis should be considered Muslim-it comes down to distinctions that are ultimately pretty trivial, largely political, and not really relevant in a broader context like this.

Did a double take and had to rewind when you said "Piedmont". I'm a NC native and that is not at all how I pronounce it haha. Tbh your pronunciation is probably closer to the source (French?) but here in the south we say 'peed-mohnt'.
"Life Expectancy" isn't just about how long you live after retirement. Infant mortality, and death rates in childbirth, were much higher before the war, and are still higher for the poor everywhere and therefore also for black people in the US. This had a big impact on the aggregate figure for LE. Figures for life expectancy in ancient times are misleading, since huge numbers died in childhood but those who survived into adult life lived almost as long as we do now. You skip over how the states with the highest LE in the US do almost as well as some (not the best) countries in Western Europe. The US as a whole is at the level of Eastern Europe. Why? Public health (or the lack of it) and maternal and child welfare services have a lot to do with it.

"Hispanic"?! What the heck is Hispanic lol? I may be wrong but I doubt Europeans refer to Spanish people as "Hispanic" in a way that differs them from Caucasian race. I realize that native born Spanish speaking Mexicans will range from native american looking peoples all the way to white looking folks of Spanish origin (sometimes even with blue eyes) - will both types be considered "hispanic". It seems to me that the "hispanic" race construct is rather arbitrary and more representative of Latin American nations rather than a race. If a white blue eyed Mexican immigrates to US and speaks English as a second language, will that person be counted along side the so called "hispanics" or caucasian?

That being said the only 2 'Christian' religions with a population birth rate above 2.0 is Mormonism and the Amish/Mennonite religions.

Nice video... A few years ago the History Channel made a show called how States got their shapes... Could have been interesting but they turned it into... welcome to this city in Texas which is famous for BBQ. Then talk about amusement parks and Bs. Nothing to do with how they got their shapes
The series is based on a book that goes over every border in every state
Being from South Carolina, I am surprised our water usage is so much higher than our neighbors in NC and Georgia, which are more populated (and Georgia just as hot). Heck, we seem to lead the east coast.
My best guess is that it's because we have more golf courses per capita than any other state, and golf courses require enormous amounts of water to maintain.
It's because they whole state reports rather than being broken down by county. Same with North Carolina. That map in particular is severely broken. The low and high usage areas in the west are largely due to population density being low with high agriculture, or exceedingly low population density in those counties.
@@Markle2k You forget, low population density with high agriculture in the desert.
Must be all he golf courses in Myrtle Beach! lol
South Carolina and Georgia are not in the top ten for Golf courses per capita. The Great plains states and great lakes states all have more golf courses per capita. Basically every one of the least dense states has more golf courses per capita then most states because there is often one golfcorse per reasonably sized small town. So mapping golf courses per capita over population density would be an interesting map. Also yes many states have more golf courses numerically when they have a greater population sizes numerically, but increased land cost often limits courses per capita numbers.
@@viewer-of-content As I understand it, South Carolina leads in golf courses per land area.
Why the color yellow on the map for Asians and Black for African americans....just kidding, I'd color it the same way lol.
There’s book actually on how states got their borders “How the States got their shapes”
I forget most of them but usually states were divided by parallels just because that easy or they are decided by rivers or a mix of both (rivers that become straight lines). Also some planning occurred especially in the central-western states to make the states equal at that point. For example Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota all have roughly equal latitude height. And them together with Colorado and Wyoming have similar lengths too.
Have that book - pretty interesting!!
It was also a tv show
I recommend that too...it really explains things. East coast was based on colonial charters that were set with partial geographic knowledge and sometimes overlapped. Additional states were carved out with some sense of balance with neighbors...Alabama and Mississippi being best example.. almost exactlty the same size. Prairie states similar-sized rectangles, mountain states similar-sized rectangles. Natural barriers and local politics explain the inconsistencies. CA and TX were powerful enough to enter as large states.
ND and SD were created to steal political power. 4 senate seats outvotes NY.
This exactly. The 37th parallel divides UT, CO, & KS from AZ, NM, & OK. And then the entire western border of NJ is defined by the Delaware River. And like you said, both sometimes. Like between NY & PA where most of it is the 42nd parallel until it reaches the Delaware River and that becomes it's border. MD, DE & PA are the result of the Mason-Dixon Line
Also a lot of Mexicans are Catholics and in the southern of border of the us we can see this influence

Can you make a similar video about Europe? I think it's pretty interesting to see how different we are on this small continent.

Woah, the last map really drives home how incredibly young the US is. I grew up having picnics in a castle ruin dating from the 14th Century, visiting museums from the 15th and earth works and burial sites dating all the way back to the Bronze Age, all within 20 miles of my home. And in European terms, my country is fairly young xD
I'm sorry, I meant no disrespect. I fully appreciate that static settlements are in no way "better" than a more nomadic way of life that doesn't leave as much behind, at least in the form of buildings. I admit that my rather flippant comment referred specifically to the history of the US as a country rather than the history of the continent itself, which is of course long and fascinating, and most definitely stretches all the way forward to this day.
And yes, I'm aware that not all cultures developed metal working in the same stages as we did in Eurasia. I simply referred to the Bronze Age because that is how we count time here in Finland. Had I been talking about the history of a different continent, I would have used terminology that would be better suited to that specific region's (pre)history.

This was very interesting. Utah’s motto, Industry, while mundane on the surface, goes back to early pioneer attitudes of hard work and perseverance. It also relates to Utah’s nickname; The Beehive State.
I'd like to echo this sentiment. Most of the time, words change meanings over the years and sometimes new words are invented. So Industry was used because no other word existed at the time to better describe what they were trying to communicate, and now it means something a little different. My favorite example comes from one of the editors-in-chief of the magazine Popular Mechanics. Surprisingly it features next to nothing about actual automobile mechanics as we'd interpret the name today. As stated, it's a tech magazine and the word technology just didn't exist in 1902. However, anything that was high tech at the time, was mechanical, and referred to as that. So the magazine was named Popular Mechanics. If it was created in 2002, it'd have been named Popular Technology as this new word better describes its content and the old word means something a little different.

The official name of the church since April 26, 1838 (for over 183 years) is, "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints". Mormon was an ancient prophet that compiled a book called The Book of Mormon, another testament of Jesus Christ. Members of the church worship Jesus Christ. I recommend you update the map data to reflect them with Christian status. Thank you

"Chinook" is the language, and in this case "Jargon" is a synonym for "language". It's just what the settlers ended up calling it - especially because early in Washington's history, Chinook became a very prominent trading language, melding with English, with some words from Chinook being used by locals up to today. Cheers!

The large number of Catholics in the Northeast is due to Irish, Italians, and around NYC also Puerto Ricans and Dominicans. Elsewhere in the country, it's due to various Hispanic groups, most notably Mexicans. Re small number of Jews, I think that there are only something like 12 million Jews worldwide, of which around half live in the U.S. In a country of over 300 million, that's not a lot.
Best comment. I was surprised at how high the percentage of Jews is in some states, because they are so few in number.

Also because of the proximity to Québec. More than 10% of New England's population is of french canadian descent... over 500 000 french canadian moved to New England looking for work during the second half of the 19th century.
Not because of immigrants but because of the Spanish who colonized the Southwest and built tons of Catholic churches/missions in the 1500 and 1600s. Remember those Catholics where here way before the US

Something that is sort of interesting is that the American Hispanic population in most of the US is primarily of Mexican extraction. The folks that live in Arizona or New Mexico or wherever either came from Mexico or had parents that came from Mexico or ancestors that came from Mexico at some point over the last several hundred years. And I suppose I'm probably due back to when those areas were actually physically still part of Mexico. In Florida rather uniquely, the Hispanic population is overwhelmingly of Cuban extraction. There's always been a large population of cubans in Florida, but following the Cuban revolution in 1950 the number exploded, and then I got another bump during me Mariel boatlift in 1980. This is interesting because there is a fundamentally different cultural background between two groups. The food is very different for instants, the accents are different, and this occasionally causes tension because tourists will come to Florida and assume everybody is Mexican because the only Hispanics that ever met our Mexican, and the Cubans don't like that very much. They're very proud of their own identity. There's no ground significance to this, it's just interesting I guess
Some folks of Mexican descent didn't come from somewhere else, but rather settled these areas when they were part of Mexico and never left. They didn't come to the U.S., the U.S. came to them.
Peter some americans, too.

Not all white people are Caucasian. Caucasian isn't a race it's a ethnic group of people that have ancestry in the Caucasus like Azeris, Armenians, and Georgians. People that are Caucasian are white but not all people that are white are Caucasian. Like Italians are white but they have ancestry in Italy not the Caucasus so how are they Caucasian. Same with if your like 100% Irish you are 100% Irish how can you be Caucasian if you have no ancestry in the Caucasus it just doesn't make sense. You could use the argument that all white people are Caucasian because every white person came from the Caucasus but by that argument you are also implying that everyone is African because every human came from Africa. So in conclusion not all white people are Caucasian and it's really annoying for people who are actually ethnically Caucasian to hear that people are using the word Caucasian the wrong way. I wrote this comment just to rant because this video got me kind of angry because he kept miss using the word. Don't take me serious this was just to blurt out my thoughts.

Technically the descendants of Portuguese in Hawai’i are from the Azores. If I am not mistaken, this was not part of Portugal when they arrived in Hawai’i during the sugar plantation days.
@@4_the_health_of_it You are absolutely mistaken.
Firstly, the bulk of Portuguese immigration to Hawai'i came not from the Azores but from Madeira.
And secondly both archipelagoes have always been part of Portugal, as they were both uninhabited when the Portuguese arrived there and got swiftly integrated into the kingdom and populated.
@@jorgecandeias I agree that most likely came from the Madeira rather than the Azores, but both are autonomous from Portugal. While they were colonized by Portuguese (and the Spanish - from the Iberian peninsula), they were always considered independent and they have since gained full independence since the 1970s. Most the inhabitants to these islands (Azores and Madeira) were there long before the concept of a Portuguese kingdom. And, thus these islands had long established themselves as somewhat independent before the rise of the Portuguese kingdom.
This American use of the terms Caucasian and Hispanic are confusing. What the heck do they mean by Hispanic? And for that matter what do they mean by Caucasian? If Hispanic means they come from a Spanish speaking country then there is no one race that fits that term as the racial varieties across the twenty Spanish speaking countries of the Americas are huge and Spain itself is a Caucasian country. I read recently an American saying how he was surprised when he went to Spain that it was such a 'white' country. He'd been left confused by the American misuse of the term Hispanic to denote a race. Did he expect them all to have Mayan roots? So Spain (as well as places like Argentina, Uruguay etc) are both Hispanic AND Caucasian. The whole thing is a mess.

8:12 You SHOULD make a video about how the state borders were drawn, because a lot of them have incredibly interesting stories.
In the east, early colonial charters establishing borders were very vague, and often conflicted. Vermont exists because both New York and New Hampshire claimed the area, and the settlers caught in the middle got fed up and declared independence. Maine was an exclave of Massachusetts, and something of a colony of a colony. Rhode Island started when the Puritan settlers kicked a guy out of Massachusetts. New Jersey and New York fought in the courts over places like Staten and Ellis Island until the 1970s.
The first colonies also claimed huge swaths of land going west, which helped lead to the Revolution when Britain banned western expansion after the Seven Years War. These claims didn't come to fruition, and the lands became territories. As more people moved into those areas, Congress and territorial governors slowly began dividing up the land somewhat arbitrarily, usually for the purposes of not creating states that were way too big and making sure all states were connected to transportation routes, like the Mississippi and its tributaries and the Great Lakes.
Of course, there are exceptions. Michigan and Ohio both wanted a strip of land on the western shores of Lake Erie called the "Toledo Strip", and almost went to war over it. Ohio was granted it, and Michigan got the Upper Peninsula as a consolation prize.
That's interesting and thank you.

I didn't get why General Knowledge was surprised with low jewish population percentage, because comparing to european numbers, the amount of jews in US is ENORMOUS. If somebody ask me, i never expect almost half of Jews living in USA instead of their national country. Jews are small minority, no surprise relative percentage is comparing to other nations.
that's because of the holocaust. Eastern Europe had the most population prior to WW2. The population of Jews living in Arab lands pretty much disappeared after 1948 when our people were kicked out following the establishment of Israel. (The last Jewish man living in Afghanistan just left after the Taliban took over there). Jews living in Ethiopia were airlifted to Israel.
We are however losing population in the U.S. due to intermarriage. Jews in America also have a lower birth rate than Jews in Israel, except among the Hasidic population.
Regarding the age expectancy in USA ,males have a age expectancy of 76 whereas females have a age expectancy of 81 years , literally a difference of 5 years i think thats why it ranges from 74 to 81 maybe due to the gender as well.

Therefore, they are not Christian, despite what they 'self-identify' as. That's why I referenced the historical, theological, and sociological definitions of who/what a 'Christian' is...

Did a double take and had to rewind when you said "Piedmont". I'm a NC native and that is not at all how I pronounce it haha. Tbh your pronunciation is probably closer to the source (French?) but here in the south we say 'peed-mohnt'.
"Life Expectancy" isn't just about how long you live after retirement. Infant mortality, and death rates in childbirth, were much higher before the war, and are still higher for the poor everywhere and therefore also for black people in the US. This had a big impact on the aggregate figure for LE.
Figures for life expectancy in ancient times are misleading, since huge numbers died in childhood but those who survived into adult life lived almost as long as we do now.
You skip over how the states with the highest LE in the US do almost as well as some (not the best) countries in Western Europe. The US as a whole is at the level of Eastern Europe. Why? Public health (or the lack of it) and maternal and child welfare services have a lot to do with it.

I realize that native born Spanish speaking Mexicans will range from native american looking peoples all the way to white looking folks of Spanish origin (sometimes even with blue eyes) - will both types be considered "hispanic". It seems to me that the "hispanic" race construct is rather arbitrary and more representative of Latin American nations rather than a race. If a white blue eyed Mexican immigrates to US and speaks English as a second language, will that person be counted along side the so called "hispanics" or caucasian?
Yeah, that’s a thing over here
