- From the city of LA, the Statue of Liberty, and the only triply-landlocked state, here are ten things that you probably didn't know about the US.

Of course New Jersey owns the gift shop at the Statue of Liberty. That's the most New Jersey thing that I've ever heard.
I’m pretty sure this isn’t true, in theory they could because they claimed part of Ellis island after a land reclamation project, but they’ve never done it for Liberty island so as of right now it’s in New York.
New York owns all the Hudson up to the jersey shore. In 1867 New York decide to cut the Hudson in the middle but all island would be New York terrortory . Liberty Island is federal. Ellis island is part of NY state . All backfill for Ellis island is Nj trash all the other islands in th😢e harbor are newyork even islands in New Jersey waters
Yea 😂 go NJ! Take what counts!! $$$$
Port Authority of NY and NJ control the island but this is true about the gift shop
@@tuckern.3534it is true, to the point it was decided by the US Supreme Court after the two states had been warring over the islands in the Hudson basically since the US existed
We will take what is rightfully ours…. one day
If you count the territories, the southernmost part of the United States is in American Samoa.
The word states is a dead giveaway
If you counted permanent bases, it would be located on Antarctica.
@@davidweihe6052Antarctica isn't owned by anyone. From what I understand, the research base is totally neutral as far as nationality goes.
@@PInk77W1 "The US" includes all of the territories.
@@jdotoz yes and territories is spelled different than states
The LA county population being so big is actually astonishing
In terms of area the greater LA city metro is roughly the size of Connecticut.
Not really
It shouldn’t be. Literally all those people from those States simply all moved to Los Angeles.
And that's why we have the electoral college
And yet NYC has a higher population then LA, Chicago, and Miami combined. . . And Its the most densly populated city in the US. Fun facts
Similar to Minnesota, there's a small town in Washington called Point Roberts that's detached and only shares a border with Canada

Fun Fact; Minnesotas Northwest angle was made a part of MN because of a mapping error by the French in the late 1700s
As a Minnesotan not a lot of people know this 🙏🏻

@@stovepipefrogI’m a Minnesotan and I didn’t know this lol
How come everyone in the comments says fun fact and then when I read it I'm not having fun at all😅😅
I have family that lives up there, we also own an island on lake of the woods.
I’ve lived my whole life in SLC and that fact about being as north as New York actually blew my mind
Right.
NYC seems more North than SLC.
Same!
Completely agree
It is how I constantly think S.America is directly south of Central and Northern America...not quite. It is way off on the right. Just like the entire US fits into the Sahel region in Northern Africa or the entire Western Europe fits inside the DRC...maps are wild.

There's no straight lines - Terrence Howard
He's correct in nature there are no straight lines
@robdawson5835 except the horizon along a waterline..
@@anthonyjensen5524if you think about it, the waves don’t make it straight, so not even a horizon line is straight (atleast on a ocean)
There is a book on Chaos theory that actually explains this. It is a thing. The more you drill down to the finest points you find fractals.
@Gic424_YT now you're getting into semantics. Nothing is actually straight if you zoom in on a small enough level, but that's why engineers create acceptable tolerances to define how straight something is. Straight itself is a word that falls under loose scrutiny as we created it to define something that falls under a certain amount of "perfectness," whereas in reality, nothing is perfect. If you want to look at it your way, yeah, you're right. Nothing is "straight." But the word itself defines things that are level to the human eye, and the word itself is a human creation. You can't say "nothing is straight" because if nothing truly was straight, we wouldn't use that word to describe things that fall under that description. So yeas, the horizon is straight, until you zoom in far enough to see more detail.
Alaska has the Northern most, Western most and Eastern most points in the -United- States. Hawai'i has the Southern most point. That makes the rest of the states the 'Middle 48'.

HOW is Nebraska the ONLY triply landlocked state? I'm looking at the map and that makes no sense.
Exactly what I came to find out!
The Missouri River runs through many states and drains into the Mississippi River. So they can travel by boat.
@@arlenstrauch sorry, but that doesn't help.
@@arlenstrauchthat is not why
Nebraska isn't just landlocked; it's actually the only triple-landlocked state in the country. That means that you have to travel through at least three states (or two states and a Canadian province) to reach an ocean.
Fun fact: Somewhere in Nevada, there is a small country (im not kidding) called the Republic of Molossia. A small 11-acre land that has their own president, law, navy, currency, and more.
Is that even legal? The constitution says that states may not leave the union...
@ThatElmTree iirc, Republic of Molossia really functions as private property within the US law. Also, the U.S. doesn't confirm ROM as a sovereign state. It's most likely a micronation. I could be wrong, tho, so be sure to look it up.
That's a joke. Some random guy bought land and called it a sovereign nation. No nation on earth recognizes its alleged sovereignty.
@@SKT3716yeah it’s a micronation

LA County also has a larger surface area than the two smallest states, Rhode Island and Delaware.
Don’t forget Connecticut
Point Roberts in Washington state is also only accessible by going through Canada, or by boat.
I came here to say that as well.
He should have used that as a more obscure fact.
But you, me, and Don are examples of people who knew that too.
@@QuantumLeaper25 It's not obscure. There's lots of videos about it.
Yeah but that’s a fact that almost everyone knows, it’s so old by now and overdone on UA-cam.

What does it mean by "triple land locked?" Genuine question here. Does it count other countries or just distance from the border.
Texas is so large you can fit 2 United States and another Texas inside it.
i actually fact checked this and it's true
So this what they teach in Texan schools
You must be from Texas. And you must be high on something😅

@@dennishearne2610 no it's true

@@nathanberrigan9839 nice
Yep
If you live in Minneapolis in South-Central MN, you live further North than 50% of all Canadians ... Also since the great lakes connect directly to the Atlantic via locks that allow for freighters to traverse Nebraska isnt REALLY triple landlocked
There's a small area in Washington that is only accessible through Canada. It's called Point Robert's and anyone who wants to get to the area needs to go through Canada as there's water surrounding it on every other side, and there's no boats/ferries that go to and from it.
The Hawaiian archipelago is so remote that even its EEZ boundary has no straight lines.
The reason New Jersey owns part of the island was because of long territorial dispute between New York and New Jersey, about river and islands. The Supreme Court ruled that New York has ownership over the islands, but New Jersey owns everything below the water. At the time of this settlement, liberty Island was smaller. But now that it is larger, the Supreme Court ruled that the land came from below the water, and so that it is now in New Jersey. Which the gift shop is placed on since it’s newer. This is a very oversimplified version.
Credit to CGP gray for a very interesting explanation to this topic
Cool
Supreme Court was like, "cut the baby in half."
@@TyinAlaskaThey were just tired of NJ dragging NY to court. NY didn't even show up one time.
I was confused about this as well. After some research on my own I didn't find anything on New Jersey owning any part of Liberty Island, only Ellis Island.
Both Islands grew in size since their original borders were established, but only on Ellis Island it was ruled (in 1998) that the original natural part of the Island still belongs to New York, and the new artificial part belongs to New Jersey.
I also watched the video mentioned by CGP Grey*, and he explained: "The court ruled everything above the water was New York, and everything below the water was New Jersey. But if below became above new New Jersey it would be."
On Wikipedia it also continues: "This proved impractical to administer and New Jersey and New York subsequently agreed to share jurisdiction of the entire island. This special situation only applies to Ellis Island and part of Shooters Island."
Ok, but what about Liberty Island?
Well, he said that the new added land SHOULD be New Jersey, not New York, the same as with Ellis Island. BUT "it hasn't been thought over yet."
Continuing: "While it would still leave Lady Liberty on the New York side, you know what WOULD be on the New Jersey side? The Gift Shop."
So I guess that's were you got confused, he said it hypothetically, IF it would get ruled the same way by the Supreme Court as Ellis Island was, but it hasn't been done (yet, at least).
So currently all of Liberty Island is owned by the New York state.
I'll quote him again on his conclusion: "But as it is, within the waters of New Jersey, there's an island of New York that's federal land atop which the national monument of the Statue of Liberty stands."
Wikipedia also states: "Part of the State of New York, the island is an exclave of the New York City borough of Manhattan, surrounded by the waters of Jersey City, New Jersey."
I think this should also be added about the federal ownership and the gift shops: "Liberty Island has been owned by the federal government since 1801 [...]. Statue of Liberty National Monument, Ellis Island and Liberty Island, listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1966, encompasses land in both states, control of which is superseded by the United States. [...] Liberty Island itself is an exclave of the State of New York and a part of New York City, allowing the state and city of New York to retain sovereignty of Liberty Island, serve process there and collect sales tax from Liberty Island souvenir shops."

It makes sense that Hawaii would be the only state without a straight line border. It's the only state that is a series of islands. The border is where land meets water; not another territory.
What distance constitutes a straight line (assuming spherical geography)?
@jm-xh4yz what I mean is that many states define their border by a line of latitude or longitude, so it makes sense that their border would be a strait line. Hawaii's border is simply the island.
It's the difference between the state ending at ''x" degrees north and.......your state ends when the the island ends.
it’s kinda wrong tho cus it really just depends on what scale ur looking at
@@azumuhAt that point you're intentionally being pedantic to "erm, ackshually 🤓" and serving no purpose.
@@ack7956 literally how this is just the truth 😭 anywhere could end up looking like a bunch of straight lines or lil curves and shit it jsut depends on the scale we’re measuring
the LA one is crazy
we so over crowded here
and half the state this shows would like to pass a law that people from LA would ban migration from LA. MGT wanted to remove California from statehood by divorce.
All long as I've been alive, there have been groups trying to split California into 2 or even 3 states...
I live there
Fr though I live 20 mins from LA and it’s jam packed even here
You're not overcrowded your city just has too many cars and not enough of literally any other mode of transit. Build denser, construct transit infrastructure, and get people walking and biking. You could easily fit double the amount of people in LA county than there are now.
I remember during covid and the border shut down, it caused many many issues for Americans who went to northern Minnesota but relied on the close grocery and shopping stores for their own cabins/homes. They were essentially locked out and made things quite difficult. I'm from Winnipeg,Canada and we'd hear about this a lot as we're only about 2 hours from the area.
Fun fact, there is a portion of the US where you have to through Canada to get back into the US.

@@dubreil07 If you are under 21, otherwise there is no point really.
I thought my uncle was full of it when he said Muana Kea was the tallest mountain, I stand corrected lol
Not really. Because there's no average sea floor depth, and the roots of Mt Everest go far deeper than the sea floor.
A curb in Hilo is higher than Manua Kea. That's because they're all volcanic islands.
Gotta measure from the root.
@@davidtaylor4053..that's what I told her.
@@timothyhaines556 "A curb in Hilo is higher than Manua Kea."
Hilo's at sea level. The summit of Mauna Kea is almost 14000 feet above sea level.

If you drive from Detroit north… or east or any direction you will make yourself a favor…

There are nice parts of Detroit like Grosse Pointe, or Saint Clair Shores.
As kids living in Michigan it was a tradition to travel to Canada by driving through Detroit when your 16 to go to a bar as the drinking age there is younger than the United States
Due to the water borders that are allowed for counties, Hawaii does have a straight line for a border in many parts of it
There's some really cool info in this video.
Fun fact: the United States has more people in prison than any country on earth
I wonder why
Well we take in every other countries people including criminals 🤷🏻
Yes, but the USA is only fourth in its incarceration rate. It follows El Salvador, Rwanda, and Turkmenistan.
Fun fact: Only Europe has more humane prisons.
Unless you count Russia or China, in which case everyone living in these commie countries is imprisoned.
4 things I didn’t know, 6 I knew. :) Thx :)
NYC and Salt Lake City shocked me 😳
That LA fact blew my mind..
No worries, because is not true. LA County has 9.21 M. And in that map he shows, Virginia alone has 8.62 M.
@@Notmanypeople The video is not saying cumulatively, but individually. It is saying that L.A. County has a larger population than 40 different individual US states with their populations taken alone.
I just checked the numbers on Wikipedia, and if your 9.21M number is right for L.A. County, the video is correct (or very close as New Jersey has a population of 9.29 M). If Los Angeles County has a population of 9.21 M, it clearly has a greater population than 39 states with only 11 states having a population greater than 9 million.
Or to put it another way, if L.A. County has a pop. of 9.21 million, it clearly has a population greater than 39 states because 39 individual states have populations under 9 million people (whereas L.A. County is 9.21 M).
Has more people than the country of New Zealand.

Yeah, currents between islands, definitely so!😅
@@j.dunlop8295 Most people who have tried, have not driven past the first 20 feet. The engine floods and then the passenger compartment. Death will ensue unless prompt decisive action is completed.
there is actually a county border you can drive
@@alimbis Yes, on Molokai, there is a small rough section of dirt road/path that touches the border of Kalawao county (population 50) but it needs 4-wheel drive and is not always driveable with a normal car. No deadly force but if it rains too much you are stuck. There was a mule path to Kalaupapa but I believe it is currently closed.
Isn't one of the islands exclusively for the Native Hawaiians? And that non Native Hawaiians need to get permission to even step foot on the island?
Arkansas is the only US state that has diamonds. Los Angeles County is 3 times bigger than the sate of Rhode Island. San Jose has twice the population of Wyoming.
So you are saying that all of the diamonds in Alaska, Montana, and Wyoming have been found?

Arkansas is the only state with an active diamond mine, but I don't know how anyone would know there are no diamonds in any of the other states.

There is also a small portion of Washington that’s surrounded by Canada called “Point Roberts”
NJ gets an absolute win cause they own the gift shop
LA County, OMG!!
My first time in LA county driving from San Diego the freeway sign said Greater LA next 207 exits. Insanely big.
Population of LA County is about 10 million, i.e. one quarter of California's. There are only ten states that have a population of 10 million or more: CA, TX, FL, NY are between 20 and 40 million; PA, IL, OH, GA, NC MI are between 10 and 13 million.
So if LA County gained a few million more people, it would be bigger than all states except those top 4.
I never liked LA too crowded! 😅
LA has 4 times that , if you count all the goddam illegals!
We didn't even bring up San Bernardino County, which is the largest county in California.
There's a military base in San Bernardino County which is larger than Rhode Island, Ft Irwin & NTC.
The MN one is not true. The northwest angle is not surrounded by Canada. It is true that if you want to go directly from the rest of MN to the north end of the angle you have to go by boat and if you want to go by car you have to go thru Canada.
yep
That LA county fact is insane

FYI the height of a mountain cannot be actually determined as where to consider the "base" of a mountain not scientifically and explicitly determined. That's why sea level is the best thing we have.
"Los Angeles county has a larger population than 40 other states."
Hence the reason for the Electoral College making sure that people living in 4753 square miles of land doesn't make the decisions for those in the other 3,793,000 square miles.
Land doesn't vote....
or make decisions.
Its not Land that Votes, its People!. If the party that relies in the Electoral College, actually had a great Platform. it wouldnt matter that so many people live in a small area, their Ideas would win the Hearts and Minds of The Voters!.
