The US does not have 50 states because it is "so big." It is not one large country that was divided into states, but several states that voted to join a union. The 50 states joined at different times and have their own laws, governors, and state legislatures. The federal government controls international diplomacy and conflicts, some interstate relations, provides certain civil and constitutional rights to all citizens, and generally affords free travel between states.
Hmmm. There were territories purchased from other countries and large parcels in Mexico that we decided we wanted for ourselves (Republic of Texas). We were a separate country with our own president. My friend's little piece of real estate has been in her family since those days and the deed was signed by Sam Houston. Border battles and cows everywhere. Indians were like "Hey! Where you going?
@@ceci8556 The formation of the states is complicated, but the Republic of Texas won independence from Mexico and was just that, a republic that then applied to become a US state. The federal government of the US is in charge of all international relations and has purchased and claimed territories, but they are not automatically states, and the US retains self-governing territories to this day. None of this discounts that many people born in the US moved to these areas and were responsible for much of the series of events. Native American tribes have a special status as semi-autonomous bodies with a special relationship with the US government, and reservations are not under the legal jurisdiction of the states they are in. The US federal government broke most of the treaties, which were unfair to start with, and there were wars between tribes and the US federal government. Some treaty rights have more recently been reaffirmed by courts after being unfairly taken away. The US government has unfortunately done a better job helping to rebuild overseas countries after wars than the reservations of native tribes who are US citizens. European countries are also responsible for what happened to the indigenous tribes of the Americas. But none of that really has to do with whether the US has 50 states because it is so big.
Well, in a sense we have States as a result of an attempt to exert political control over a large area buy giving certain governmental duties to localized groups. Yes, a number of states started as independent colonies (or even country) but many were territories eventually turned into states.
@@bluelionsage99 I know what you mean, but the reason we have states is because the colonies that won independence from the British Empire wanted to remain independent of each other but agreed to a union between them for a number of reasons. It is spelled out in the preamble of the Constitution, really. Things like a common defense against outsiders, namely the British empire, and attempting to avoid wars between each other, as Europe was constantly experiencing, led them to form a union that was stronger than the original Articles of Confederation. It wasn't because it was so big, but they did forsee and establish routes for new states to join. Later the ideology of Manifest Destiny presumed that the US should stretch to the Pacific, and some states' borders were dictated by political situations in the US, but the application was made by the people and governments of those places and not by the US government. Sometimes Europeans mistake states for something like counties, but that isn't the case, our counties are like their counties. States have separate governments on most matters, and the federal government had to make new laws about interstate crimes because criminals were using state borders to escape punishment, there are even extradition hearings before a suspect can be transferred to another state for trial. It is often misunderstood, even by Americans, how the US government works. Anyway, this is long, but the US simply doesn't have 50 states because it is so big, more like it is so big because it has 50 states I guess.

Yup the plague is an actual thing. In the Western USA, prairie dogs and other rodents are known to carry it and I personally know a guy from Kansas whose dad was was cleaning out an abandoned family homestead, camped out there for the night, got bit by a rat that apparently was carrying the plague according to the hospital, and my friend's dad actually died from it. Crazy stuff.
Fun fact: Hell Michigan is a fun little tourist attraction of a town, including the classic "I scream for ice cream" shop, "I've been to hell and back" t-shirts, and the only place where you can pay to be mayor of Hell for a day. I live about 30 minutes from Hell and we love the stories that come out of that place. One time, in 2019, someone payed to be mayor for two weeks, changed the town's name to Gay Hell and only allowed pride flags to be flown(shortly after Trump's administration banned the embassies from flying them).
Grocery stores need to abide by food and safety laws. Basically if the package opened it can't even be donated. Homeless people in America have sued grocery stores for getting sick on donated food! Most will donate to foodbanks if the package is damaged but the food is still safe. And its common to donate on its best buy day to keep it from being thrown away.
Funnily enough, the prohibition only banned the production, importation, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages. Drinking them was perfectly legal.
Native Kentuckian here. Slight correction on 31, one cave system is MAPPED for 200 miles. There are an additional 200 miles, approximately, that have been discovered but not properly mapped.

As an American when I hear people say that “America doesn’t have a culture” or “British doesn’t have a culture” I usually see that as a result of people’s ignorance to how free we are.
I was born in India and came to Canada in teenage and tbh, u guys have incredible culture and really good system, I really hated the way police and politicians or even someone with just little money or little political influence could exploit poor people in India. White people really done good job in creating a good system. There is a reason the whole world (except few Asian countries) wants to move to US, Europe, Canada or Australia

@@lsuperior american being referred to as "the land of the free" is more propaganda than anything and most people in america (especially if they never traveled outside or lived in another country) buy into it. I lived in china for a few years and i felt way more free there than here in america where police can and will bother you for just about anything.
@@lsuperior your an incredibly ignorant person. In fact your the type of person of whom I was directly making my comment towards. When you live in a free society you are free to believe whatever you want where ever you want. How you enact on that is a different situation. The point is that when people are able to do that they can create things and do things that spawn cultures. In other words to quote Kris Kristofferson. “Freedom is just another word for nothing left to loose” when you don’t have anything to risk when being free your culture is built upon that. In fact in the west, freedom isn’t just a value it’s a founding principle. In other words freedom is just as much a culture as music is. However when you have so much of it it’s hard to recognize it.
My jaw literally dropped when you said you had never heard of the movie, "Gone with the Wind!" It is my all time favorite movie! It was made in the 30's with Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh. It's about the South in the Civil War. It"s pretty long though, if you want to watch it.

The last time it rang with a clear note was Washington’s Birthday in 1846. The Mexican American war started that year and California declared independence from Mexico but that was months after.
Finally someone else said it.... It bothered me a little that he was just giving random “facts” that are just plain stupid and not even close to being real.

The flag that is not still standing on the moon is the flag from the first landing, Apollo 11. The astronauts on that mission had trouble getting the flagpole stuck into the surface deeply enough for it to not fall over, and Buzz Aldrin noted that, as they lifted off from the lunar surface, he glanced out his window at exactly the right moment to see the flag fall over, blown down by the "wind" blast of exhaust from the rocket engine carrying them back into space.
Yeah weird without context, the poisoning the alcohol bit. What they actually did was poison some of the components of alcohol manufacture to dissuade people from making it (apparently whatever else it was being used for could deal with that). Kinda like how laughing gas gets bittering agents put in it so people don't use it to get high (the non medical/food kinds at least). The real question was whether people ignored that they had done so or what? Maybe no one thought it was real or something, or thought they could distill it out or something but messed up.
They didn't tell anybody. There was no warning given by the government, and people never really cared for labels, especially prohibition runners. As long as they have what they need, they will make it. If someone dies for it, it gets blamed on the government having not told people that they put poisonous agents in these components, or the body is hidden and the people making the alcohol continue to make sales. Either way, a victory for the prohibition runners.
I really have to agree. Lav was entertaining as ever, but whoever made the video was trying way too hard. Christmas was never "illegal" in the US. It was made a legal Federal holiday in 1870 so federal workers could get the day off. Individual states need to recognize it as a legal state holiday for state employees to get the day off. But the is a difference between being a legal government holiday and being illegal. Freedom of religion is kinda a big thing here!
That poisoning the alcohol thing is just one, very small, reason Americans don't trust governments very much and don't want to give up the right to bear arms. History has shown they all have the ability to turn corrupt and do messed up crap like that and take advantage of people. If you don't trust someone, why would you want to give yourself more of a disadvantage when you are already disadvantaged.
America is pretty young and wasnt full official army during the revolutionary times they hired people with guns to join the army so the right to bear arms is kinda already part of the us and cant be take
@Poole I'm guessing you'd either didn't read or didn't mentally process the, "more" of a disadvantage, " part. People who own guns generally know that the government owns more guns and better guns, but they also know that with the right allies a bunch of colony hicks stood against one of the largest armies in the world at the time and ended up winning. History abounds with stories of the proverbial David beating Goliath. Is it a long shot? Yes, but it still happens sometimes anyway. 🤷♀️ "...your assault rifle..."? I don't own a gun of any type nor did I clarify a type of gun, but it also doesn't mean I can't understand where they come from.
@Poole IF something were to pop off, first, the US government isn't going to use the same shock and awe tactics that they use elsewhere. Yes, they'd win in short order, but the infrastructure of the country is destroyed. Secondly, a huge portion of the military would side with the people rather than the government. Third, the sheer number of legal gun owners in the US is astounding, and the majority own small arsenals. The people may still lose, but it wouldn't be as clean cut as you'd like to believe.

ROFL, Terminus, is a railway station from the series "The Walking Dead" which was happening near Atlanta. There were live cannibals living there. When the main actor found it, they were grilling meat.
@@causticchameleon7861 Yeah, isn't that where the scene in "Gone With The Wind" was filmed? My reference was to the man saying 'BBQ" which is what the cannibals were doing when Rick (The Walking Dead) showed up.
@@rhiahlMT yes, gone with the wind showed the scene where Atlanta was burning due to General Sherman’s March to Savannah. He actually marched through my home town and burned shit down. Also, MARGARET Mitchell’s house where she wrote Gone With The Wind is still in downtown Atlanta. Atlanta was also called Marthasville at one time and the state capitol used to be milledgeville and not Atlanta. I’ve never watched Walking Dead but I do know where it was filmed. It was filmed in a little town south of Atlanta called Senoia. We pronounce it Senoy instead of Senoyah.
I don’t believe GWTW was actually filmed in Atlanta but it premier here at the Fox Theater on Peachtree Street. All the stars were there. It was a very big deal. Also, after Sherman burned Atlanta to the ground, the current city was built on the ruins of the old city. There is a section of the old city left and it’s called Underground Atlanta.

No. 33, at 20:20. The original name of Atlanta was Marthasville. It was renamed Terminus when the state chose that location to build the Western & Atlanta Railroad to Chattanooga, then renamed again to Atlanta. The state of Georgia still owns the railroad. It is currently leased to CSX. The railroad was also the scene of the Great Locomotive Chase, or the Andrews Raid, on April 12, 1862, an attempt by the Union to wreck one of the major rail links of the South.
12:00 - There's a popular show over here called The Walking Dead, adapted from a long-running comic series. In the story there's a settlement called "Terminus"...Occupied by cannibals. So that's what the 'Terminus barbecue' joke is about.
Jennifer Lawrence was made in Louisville Kentucky. -One of my duties (amongst many) was working on industrial trash compactors at large grocery stores.

To Anacreon in Heav'n, where He sat in full glee, A few Sons of Harmony sent up a petition, That He their inspirer and patron would be, When this answer arrived from the jolly old Grecian: "Voice, fiddle and lute no longer be mute, I'll lend ye my name, and inspire ye, to boot; And what's more, I'll instruct ye, like me, to entwine The Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus' vine!"

On the imprisonment fact, it’s probably due in large part to profit prisons. Basically, these prisons require them to be full 100% of the time, and essentially get money out of it, meaning people are regularly incarcerated just to keep that threshold. These things are horrible, and currently there is legislation/pressure I think to get rid of them.
I'd say, 1. Mass incarceration of low level drug offenders 2. There's a lot of violent crime in the US 3. Private prison system (although this is a very small portion of prisons). (Former CO and have an A.A. in Corrections)

If I recall correctly one of the flags on the moon was too close to the lander and was blown over by exhaust gasses from launch off the lunar surface. I was correct it was actually the first flag placed by Neil and Buzz, since everything was brand new they had to be careful and weren't allowed to go far from the lander and so the flag was placed too close and knocked over by exhaust. Also there is no wind on the moon, because it lacks an atmosphere hence the fancy suits.
When you agreed with the video about people today spending so much time on devices it made me think! Kids of my generation grew up with parents who would say stuff like, we had to walk to school barefoot in the snow. Walking uphill both ways! But now my generation can tell our kids that we had to get directions by looking at maps on paper in big books we left in our car. Or when we were driving around and wanted to go to a store, we had to actually drive there to see if they were open.

I used to work at a grocery store. There was one time we go hit with a storm and it shut down the power. We had to throw away the refrigerated and frozen stuff because the power went off longer than the accepted time.

Bama would probably be competitive against the worst NFL team, but the Oregon Ducks? ....not so much.
Also another fact about the Statue of Liberty is that she’s made out of copper so she was originally the shiny brown color but then you know as metal starts to oxidize it changes color so the copper slowly started turning green
Gerald Ford became president because he was Nixon’s Vice President when Nixon resigned
And he became Vice President when Nixon’s original VP resigned.
@@damien7157 Ford was the Minority House Leader. The person next in line for the Presidency would be the Speaker of the House; however, the Democrats held the House. Ford, as Minority Leader was seen as the Republican equivalent of the Speaker, or next best thing.

Yup the plague is an actual thing. In the Western USA, prairie dogs and other rodents are known to carry it and I personally know a guy from Kansas whose dad was was cleaning out an abandoned family homestead, camped out there for the night, got bit by a rat that apparently was carrying the plague according to the hospital, and my friend's dad actually died from it.

Grocery stores need to abide by food and safety laws. Basically if the package opened it can't even be donated. Homeless people in America have sued grocery stores for getting sick on donated food!

As an American when I hear people say that “America doesn’t have a culture” or “British doesn’t have a culture” I usually see that as a result of people’s ignorance to how free we are.
I was born in India and came to Canada in teenage and tbh, u guys have incredible culture and really good system, I really hated the way police and politicians or even someone with just little money or little political influence could exploit poor people in India. White people really done good job in creating a good system. There is a reason the whole world (except few Asian countries) wants to move to US, Europe, Canada or Australia
you do realize that we have the highest percentage of people incarcerated in the world right? not sure what you're idea of free is but that ain't mine.
What an incredibly stupid statement, as if freedom= "culture"
@@lsuperior american being referred to as "the land of the free" is more propaganda than anything and most people in america (especially if they never traveled outside or lived in another country) buy into it. I lived in china for a few years and i felt way more free there than here in america where police can and will bother you for just about anything.
@@lsuperior your an incredibly ignorant person. In fact your the type of person of whom I was directly making my comment towards. When you live in a free society you are free to believe whatever you want where ever you want. How you enact on that is a different situation. The point is that when people are able to do that they can create things and do things that spawn cultures. In other words to quote Kris Kristofferson. “Freedom is just another word for nothing left to loose” when you don’t have anything to risk when being free your culture is built upon that. In fact in the west, freedom isn’t just a value it’s a founding principle. In other words freedom is just as much a culture as music is. However when you have so much of it it’s hard to recognize it.
Perhaps the person you're thinking of as "LOL " is really named Lowell.

My jaw literally dropped when you said you had never heard of the movie, "Gone with the Wind!" It is my all time favorite movie! It was made in the 30's with Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh. It's about the South in the Civil War. It"s pretty long though, if you want to watch it.

The flag that is not still standing on the moon is the flag from the first landing, Apollo 11. The astronauts on that mission had trouble getting the flagpole stuck into the surface deeply enough for it to not fall over, and Buzz Aldrin noted that, as they lifted off from the lunar surface, he glanced out his window at exactly the right moment to see the flag fall over, blown down by the "wind" blast of exhaust from the rocket engine carrying them back into space.
Yeah I was wondering how it fell over since there’s no wind on the moon
Of course, there are other American flags on the moon from other Apollo missions that are still standing, but I get what you're stating.
Yeah weird without context, the poisoning the alcohol bit. What they actually did was poison some of the components of alcohol manufacture to dissuade people from making it (apparently whatever else it was being used for could deal with that). Kinda like how laughing gas gets bittering agents put in it so people don't use it to get high (the non medical/food kinds at least).
The real question was whether people ignored that they had done so or what? Maybe no one thought it was real or something, or thought they could distill it out or something but messed up.
They didn't tell anybody. There was no warning given by the government, and people never really cared for labels, especially prohibition runners. As long as they have what they need, they will make it. If someone dies for it, it gets blamed on the government having not told people that they put poisonous agents in these components, or the body is hidden and the people making the alcohol continue to make sales. Either way, a victory for the prohibition runners.
this guy is a posting machine! I can't keep up ... *oh my days*
Sorry, but I have to call BS on many of these "facts". Many are incorrect or just made up.

@@jgibson7893 either that’s a really funny joke, or your the biggest liberal ever😂 honestly don’t know which.
I really have to agree. Lav was entertaining as ever, but whoever made the video was trying way too hard. Christmas was never "illegal" in the US. It was made a legal Federal holiday in 1870 so federal workers could get the day off. Individual states need to recognize it as a legal state holiday for state employees to get the day off. But the is a difference between being a legal government holiday and being illegal. Freedom of religion is kinda a big thing here!
That poisoning the alcohol thing is just one, very small, reason Americans don't trust governments very much and don't want to give up the right to bear arms. History has shown they all have the ability to turn corrupt and do messed up crap like that and take advantage of people. If you don't trust someone, why would you want to give yourself more of a disadvantage when you are already disadvantaged.
America is pretty young and wasnt full official army during the revolutionary times they hired people with guns to join the army so the right to bear arms is kinda already part of the us and cant be take
@Poole I'm guessing you'd either didn't read or didn't mentally process the, "more" of a disadvantage, " part. People who own guns generally know that the government owns more guns and better guns, but they also know that with the right allies a bunch of colony hicks stood against one of the largest armies in the world at the time and ended up winning. History abounds with stories of the proverbial David beating Goliath. Is it a long shot? Yes, but it still happens sometimes anyway. 🤷♀️ "...your assault rifle..."? I don't own a gun of any type nor did I clarify a type of gun, but it also doesn't mean I can't understand where they come from.
@Poole IF something were to pop off, first, the US government isn't going to use the same shock and awe tactics that they use elsewhere. Yes, they'd win in short order, but the infrastructure of the country is destroyed. Secondly, a huge portion of the military would side with the people rather than the government. Third, the sheer number of legal gun owners in the US is astounding, and the majority own small arsenals. The people may still lose, but it wouldn't be as clean cut as you'd like to believe.

ROFL, Terminus, is a railway station from the series "The Walking Dead" which was happening near Atlanta. There were live cannibals living there. When the main actor found it, they were grilling meat.
Exactly they came up with that name bc it meant something to the city it’s filmed in, atl was a railroad hub hinting the name “Terminus”
Terminus WAS the actual name of the area that is now Atlanta. It has also been known as Marthasville too.
@@causticchameleon7861 Yeah, isn't that where the scene in "Gone With The Wind" was filmed? My reference was to the man saying 'BBQ" which is what the cannibals were doing when Rick (The Walking Dead) showed up.
@@rhiahlMT yes, gone with the wind showed the scene where Atlanta was burning due to General Sherman’s March to Savannah. He actually marched through my home town and burned shit down. Also, MARGARET Mitchell’s house where she wrote Gone With The Wind is still in downtown Atlanta. Atlanta was also called Marthasville at one time and the state capitol used to be milledgeville and not Atlanta. I’ve never watched Walking Dead but I do know where it was filmed. It was filmed in a little town south of Atlanta called Senoia. We pronounce it Senoy instead of Senoyah.
I don’t believe GWTW was actually filmed in Atlanta but it premier here at the Fox Theater on Peachtree Street. All the stars were there. It was a very big deal. Also, after Sherman burned Atlanta to the ground, the current city was built on the ruins of the old city. There is a section of the old city left and it’s called Underground Atlanta.

No. 33, at 20:20. The original name of Atlanta was Marthasville. It was renamed Terminus when the state chose that location to build the Western & Atlanta Railroad to Chattanooga, then renamed again to Atlanta. The state of Georgia still owns the railroad. It is currently leased to CSX. The railroad was also the scene of the Great Locomotive Chase, or the Andrews Raid, on April 12, 1862, an attempt by the Union to wreck one of the major rail links of the South.

On the imprisonment fact, it’s probably due in large part to profit prisons. Basically, these prisons require them to be full 100% of the time, and essentially get money out of it, meaning people are regularly incarcerated just to keep that threshold. These things are horrible, and currently there is legislation/pressure I think to get rid of them.
I'd say, 1. Mass incarceration of low level drug offenders 2. There's a lot of violent crime in the US 3. Private prison system (although this is a very small portion of prisons). (Former CO and have an A.A. in Corrections)
Ya privatizing prisons is not the move. It creates a environment where keeping prisoners is more important than reforming .

If I recall correctly one of the flags on the moon was too close to the lander and was blown over by exhaust gasses from launch off the lunar surface. I was correct it was actually the first flag placed by Neil and Buzz, since everything was brand new they had to be careful and weren't allowed to go far from the lander and so the flag was placed too close and knocked over by exhaust. Also there is no wind on the moon, because it lacks an atmosphere hence the fancy suits.
