    The next state up will be Virginia! If you're from Virginia, please respond to this comment with any information you'd like to include about your home state!

    • @MatthewChenault
      @MatthewChenault 2 года назад +12

      As a Virginian, it should be important to note that there are families, such as my family, that have been here for three centuries or longer.
      For instance, the Washington and Lee families have been here since the 1640’s and came here as a direct result of the English Civil War and Oliver Cromwell’s actions against King Charles I. Many of them were Caviliers - loyalists to Charles I - who fled to Virginia to escape Cromwell’s purges, since Virginia, at the time, was the most developed of the colonies and aligned itself with Charles I.
      My family, however, weren’t a part of the first families. They were French Huguenots who’d fled from France during their up-tick in persecutions by the French Monarchy and were given land in Virginia to settle down. Ever since then, some moved out west while others stayed in Virginia.
      To say the least, Virginia is my home and I have a deep connection to it, which most others in the United States might not truly appreciate nor understand.

      One interesting thing about Virginia is their administrative divisions. Cities are carved out to be separate entities from counties, and as a result, a "county map" of Virginia includes many city-county borders in it as well.
      Also, a fun trivia fact is that the westernmost county of Virginia (Lee County) sits entirely west of the state of West Virginia.

      I think it’s definitely important to mention how different the state can be on different sides. The northern (more like northeast but most ppl just say northern or nova, including counties like fairfax, arlington, loudoun) VA area (mostly DC suburbs) is a very rich and extremely fast growing area with companies like Amazon coming with their 2nd hq. But when you go to the opposite southwest side is actually some of the poorest areas of the entire US and the atmosphere is significantly different within Appalachia. Having been on both corners of the state and living there my entire life the geography is definitely something important because it’s clear to see how the eastern part of the state is a lot more city/suburban while the central and western is divided with a lot more rural areas and being heavily mixed into Appalachia.

      @@therealbigfoot3076 but there is proof, at least the ones in nh are known as the shepherds walls to keep their sheep in. The reason the walls were made out of these stones specifically is because after cutting down the hundreds, if not thousands of trees, there were all of these large rocks laying in the fields, so they used them for their walls, just took a hundred or more years for the forest to spring back up where it was cut down

    • @jeffreyday7070
      @jeffreyday7070 2 года назад +13

      They are called stone walls, and in part served as property markers among other things. About 100 years ago, NH was about 30% covered with trees, and the rest was farmland, sheep, and cattle land. As NH moved from farming and industrial to the information age, that percentage changed and we are now about 70 or 80% covered with trees.

    Another fact about New Hampshire: The New Hampshire House of Representatives has the lowest representative ratio of any state legislative chamber. For every state representative there are approximately 3,000 constituents. For reference, the average in most states is 56,000. There's an argument to be made that you have the best government representation in New Hampshire.

Its exact use and age is difficult to determine as the site was also the location of a farm house as well as a stop on the Underground Railroad. There has been a lot of damage to the site though much of the astrological stone formations are still present.

You might notice the odd purple colored building, while it's now been torn down the reason this building is purple is that it used to be a frat house and they reached out to the town to request the addition of building a deck, but were denied their permit because the building was considered 'historic.' As any good college students would do they rebelled and realized that they WERE allowed to repaint the house so they picked the most hideous color that they could in protest! Of course money speaks, and when a developer wanted to build more housing, they had no problem at that time tearing down the house.

    I'm from the greater Boston area in Mass. but have spent a ton of time in the Whites and Monadnock (the latter of which I think is one of the busiest mtns in the world, let alone the region and country)
    The 231 mph winds on Mt. Washington are the fastest ever recorded, I beleive, due to strong, cold winds from the north and west being funneled through the rest of the white mtns and converging on the summit, which is considerably taller than any of it's neighbors. As mentioned by Carter, this makes the weather on the Presi range pretty volatile (a young woman and a mid age man recently died on the Ridgeline when frosty conditions kicked in swiftly, so be careful. Listen to the signs, it really is the worst weather in the country).

      You can hike one way and take the cog railway down, to give you both experiences. Be prepared, as even on warm days below, the top can be very cold and challenging. Still has the highest wind recording in the USA weather history at 134 mph.

    No mention of the Massachusetts - New Hampshire rivalry, but very good video!
    Bordering a high tax state, lots of Massachusetts people (massholes, in the local dialect) drive across the border for a lower tax life, with their same high paying Boston jobs. In southern New Hampshire towns like Dover and Portsmouth (especially Dover in the last four years), Massachusetts people have wrecked the local economies and infiltrated the local governments to create higher taxes and increase the democrat voting block. The change in local culture and policy has caused a rift to form between northern New Hampshire residents and southern New Hampshire residents, and long-time southern New Hampshire residents against out-of-towners.

      Massachusetts has reached a new low. Historically, if your employer was in Mass but you worked 3 days in MA and 2 at home in NH (or any other state) only 60% of your salary was taxed for Mass income tax purposes. If you always worked from home, you didn't pay Mass tax. For Covid, they decided to say that they don't care where you worked - your income is taxable in Mass if prior to the pandemic you routinely commuted to Mass. It's absolute bullshit. You don't live there or work there so you don't pay tax there. That's the law.
      Of course they didn't announce this until 2020 had ended. That state is so sleazy. They won't win this one, and when everyone files for their refunds in 5 or 6 years, after the Supreme Court has thrown it out, they're going to heap more taxes on their citizens to cover the massive payouts they'll owe.
      Mass politicians are the worst of the worst.

    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
    And sorry I could not travel both
    And be one traveler, long I stood
    And looked down one as far as I could
    To where it bent in the undergrowth;
    Then took the other, as just as fair,
    And having perhaps the better claim,
    Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
    Though as for that the passing there
    Had worn them really about the same,
    And both that morning equally lay
    In leaves no step had trodden black.
    Oh, I kept the first for another day!
    Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
    I doubted if I should ever come back.
    I shall be telling this with a sigh
    Somewhere ages and ages hence:
    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
    I took the one less traveled by,
    And that has made all the difference.
