George Washington was born before Washington was a state (WA became a state in 1889). I think his portrait is on the flag because the state is named after him.

@@andreask3218not quite sure but i do remember reading a bunch of articles about southern states changing their flags. i’m surprised tennessee hasn’t changed theirs yet
it's worth noting that Mississippi has since changed their flag to a red background with two golden bars bordering a dark blue bar in the middle that contains a white magnolia blossom and 21 stars. and i think theres a motto too.
I could be off, but I believe I vaguely remember learning that the Union Jack was included in the Hawaiian flag not explicitly because of British ties to the islands (as despite them being the first europeans to contact the natives living there and established British business and trade, it was never a British colony/dependency/protectorate) Rather, after unifying the islands King Kamehameha designed the Hawaiiian flag this way to pragmatically ensure international respect, reverence, and safety for Hawaii , and especially for Hawaiian ships as the Kingdom aimed to modernize and engage in trade and dialogue with the outside world while avoiding potential exploitation and colonization....which they did for a while until...we showed up and overthrew their Queen 😐
pretty spot on! theres a lot of different theories behind why King Kamehameha made the flag the way it was. It is said each part represented an international relation; with the Union Jack, the colors representing France (and somewhat Russia), and the stripes representing the USA. There was some... shall we say interesting approaches as to how these relations aged. There wasn't a whole lot of respect for the native population and the islands were mostly used for profit once foreigners got a hold of land and government. It's also true that Queen Lili'uokalani was illegally forced from her throne. If you go to Hawai'i you can still see plenty of flags that represent the Monarch of Hawai'i. Beautiful flag.
They’re looking to change the Illinois flag (my state) to something actually interesting that’ll make people want to hang it as much as the Chicago flag
It should be noted some of these flags are controversial due to containing imagery of various Confederate flags. As another commenter mentioned Maryland’s was actually changed.
Maryland - Yea we pronounce it Marilyn-d like Marilyn Monroe, but with a D at the end. We make fun of the Mary-land pronouncers HAHA😊. We love our flag way more than pretty much any other state. We put it on everything, and even our college football team, the Terrapins, has its uniforms based around the state flag and colors. I love your videos. I usually want to listen to them to relax and fall asleep, but they’re so interesting that it usually doesn’t work.
The constellation on the Alaskan flag is called the big dipper (there's a small dipper as well). Edit to add: the small dipper is not on the Alaskan flag, but visible in the sky.
That is a MAJOR compliment. Thank you! (Funny story, he was my 1st sub 6 years ago... we know each other. If you scroll down on his YT homepage, my first channel is listed as a recommendation)
Mississippi didn’t abolish slavery till 2013. Edit: Also the current flag you see for Mississippi show the magnolia which is the states flower, the one you have in that books shows just how much Mississippi still wants to be the confederacy
While Arkansas is often considered one of the more boring US states, it is one of the few places in the world with a diamond mine open to the public. Also has the name "The Natural State" for its beautiful state parks.
@@WelshASMR82Maps Thank you for your answer, it’s just that recently in your comments people were spamming “greetings from Crimea” and putting up the flag of Ukraine, channel subscribers thought that you were offended by them, by the way, How will you comment on the fact that they spammed you in the comments “greetings from Crimea🇺🇦"

Ah, thanks for the info!!
@lovablewench6459 he was american. his dad was born in england but he was born in virginai
😱😱😱
I mean I would hope he was born before the state was
@@Brumeu.x an incredible coincidence if he wasn’t!

Thank you lady bot. That means so much
Mississippi has a new flag. They got rid of the “stars and bars” flag and have a much more beautiful and less problematic flag now.
The same happened in Georgia, didn't it?
@@andreask3218not quite sure but i do remember reading a bunch of articles about southern states changing their flags. i’m surprised tennessee hasn’t changed theirs yet
@@christianthompson7915Yes, in the early 2000s
Should’ve left it. To forget history, is to repeat it
@@ropadope7 we're not gonna forget the confederacy if it's left off the MS flag...
The Utah Flag has also since changed, its a really cool flag!

Learning the US states is (for me) harder than learning countries in a continent. But with enough practice you can learn it easily.
You being a former teacher makes perfect sense.
Just a lovely cadence and patient nature that I loved in some of my educators.
Thanks!

Alabama's flag looks like the old Spanish imperial flag, la cruz de Borgoña
Glad you like the Tennessee flag, as a person who was born there I approve this video lol
Mississippi actually recently changed it's flag. Loved the video 👍
Oh really??
@@WelshASMR82Maps Utah has as well
LOVE both the new Mississippi flag and Utah flag. Both big upgrades.
@@gubgubz Oh yes, it's pretty cool 👍
@@WelshASMR82MapsAnd Minnesota!

Yes, I was shocked by some of them too!
Fun fact: Utah and Mississippi have gotten resigned. But great video as always!
You pronounced Arkansas perfectly don’t worry haha

2:05 Someone's definitely already pointed this out, but in the 16th century, Spain's flag was basically Alabama's, but the cross is serrated
If you’re taking requests, what about virtually touring places via Google Earth?
I have never heard the constellation on the alaskan flag called the plough before 😭😂 everyone in Canada that I have spoken to calls it the big dipper
One of my most fav asmr channels now!
I am so proud!
Early again🎉🎉 ps love your videos and ur voicee😊
Yay! Thank you!
Жду новое видео с этой книгой 😊
I'm american and to be fair idek some of the states. We learn it in school but it never sticks
Oh yes 😍
I really like your videos, when I’m stressed I often watch your videos and fall asleep to them.
2:08 I think it’s because of the Spanish Habsburg flag, which was adopted from the flag of Burgundy.

Can you do a map video on Connecticut if possible, it’s part of New England and is a very historic state, one of the 13 colonies
So glad to find this video! I’m from Arizona, subscribed 😊
West Virginias state flag also say “Montani semper Liberi” meaning mountaineers are always free
Love it!
Let's go Wyoming(my state) is a preferred flag!
And Minnesota is getting a new flag soon! Lovely video as always!
Free Palestine 🇵🇸 ❤
Did you mean to say “We’re in the home stretch?” Meaning coming to the end. Loved this video!!!
Yes, I think I did 😂
Yeah more Murrilyn than Mary-land
