Almost nobody is going to agree with putting Maryland and Delaware in "the South". It's very complicated. Traditionally, the division between north and south was the Mason-Dixon Line (named for the two surveyors who defined it) and Maryland and Delaware are south of it. Also, parts of Maryland feel a lot like the south (or used to when I was growing up there but that was a long time ago): Southern Maryland (Calvert, St. Mary's and Charles Counties) and the Eastern Shore (of the Chesapeake Bay, adjacent to Delaware). These used to be and may still be tobacco growing areas much like Virginia and North Carolina as well as a lot of poultry farming on the Eastern Shore. But the rest of Maryland and most of Delaware, including Baltimore, Delaware's cities and the suburbs of DC are very much culturally associated with Philadelphia, New Jersey and New York more than with "the south".
@@MB-kw6tm I didn't forget it and I agree with you but that doesn't make it "southern" and since this video classifies all of Pennsylvania as "Middle Atlantic", that would include Maryland's panhandle if it's like western Pennsylvania.
same with the great lakes region. we dont really identify with the midwest.... when i hear midwest i think like iowa, nebraska, missouri plains and farms type. here it is very thick forests and bodies of water everywhere beyond belief and people are nothing like there, except for the common german irish polish heritage
to me new england basically just goes all the way down to maryland. basically most of the orignial colonies.... the virginias ARE basically appalachia and north carolina is where the south starts.
It's pretty cool to stand in 4 states at once at the 4 corners monument. It's in the middle of nowhere on the Navajo Nation so you'll see lots of vendors selling their authentic artwork like baskets, blankets, turquoise jewelry. And of course Navajo tacos!
Bruh who thinks Delaware and Maryland are south? They are Mid-Atlantic just like NJ. There is a reason DC was chosen between Maryland and Virginia; that is the border of South and North culturally, back in the day.
Agree. Idk who comes up with this stuff, they're definitely Mid-Atlantic. I'm from NJ and can literally be in DE in a little over a half an hour. Would never consider either one part of the south, so ridiculous.
Actually, the designation of Delaware and Maryland as being in the South comes from the fact that they are South of the Mason-Dixon Line which at one time was considered the dividing line between North and South. That's also the origin of the term "Dixie" for the South.
Utah is home to 5 national parks: Zion (that's ZYE-un, not ZYE-ahn, rhyming with 'lion'), Bryce Canyon, Capital Reef, Canyonlands, and Arches. They put the 4 Corners in the middle of nowhere, because that's where the 4 states meet, and it's located on the huge Navajo Reservation/Nation, which is a scenic wonderland, by the way. Fun information here--no charge.😀 In addition to 'Sue', which is the nickname for Susan, there's also Sioux, which is 1 tribe that has recently divided itself into 4 tribes--Dakota, Lakota, Nakota, and Ogallala. Then there's the city of Sault Ste. Marie, MI, with 'Sault' being Middle French for 'waterfall', and is also pronounced 'Sue'. Altogether, it's St. Mary Falls, which has a twin city across the border in Canada.
The Dakota indigenous people always were the 4 tribes. Sioux is French colonizer slang for savage. Most Dakaota do not call themselves Sioux, as it is a slur. I grew up on South Dakota with a bunch of Dakota and Lakota kids.
At 3:44 is Battleship New Jersey. Hey Lav Luka you should do a reaction video of Naval Legends of Battleship Missouri. Also there is a YT channel called Battleship New Jersey. It's also a Museum Ship that you could easily visit. Along with Battleship Missouri. Both ships are Iowa Class Battleships.
The South is more of a cultural region than geographic which is why the further east you go, the further north the South goes. In Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia you can find many people with strong southern accents even though those states are not that far south. But further west in Missouri and Kansas, you don’t really find southern accents so they’re not considered southern.
I live in the Merrimack Valley region of Northeastern Massachusetts. I also live in the North Shore region of Northeastern Massachusetts. The two regions overlap each other but aren't exactly the same. The North Shore is restricted to within Essex county, Massachusetts, while the Merrimack Valley stretches into Middlesex county, Massachusetts, just west of Essex county , and extends north to Hillsborough county, Rockingham county, and Merrimack county in Southern New Hampshire.
I don't think he inc Georgia in the Appalachia div. North Ga actually has the Appalachian hiking trail beginning at our Springer Mountain & stretches all the way up to Mt. Katahdin in Maine, 2,193 miles long. I'd say it'd take a while to hike that.
Thurston, that big warship that was docked there when he was talking about New Jersey was the Iowa-class Battleship USS New Jersey BB-62. It was one of four Iowa-class Battleships that entered service in 1944 in WWII. However six were planned, but the end of the war kinda scrapped the idea. The other three are the USS Iowa BB-61, the USS Missouri BB-63, and the USS Wisconsin, BB-64. The USS Illinois was gonna be BB-65, and the USS Kentucky was gonna be BB-66. They were equipped with three triple 16-inch main gun turrets. Two in the front, one in the rear. A Montana-class ship was planned after the Iowa's that incorporated a second gun turret on the rear, but of course was never built. The Iowas served until right after the Gulf War in 1991. When it was determined that their main gun use had been usurped by tomahawk cruise missile technology that could precisely hit targets many hundreds of miles away. In fact Naval guns are only used now to fight off small boats that may come near the ships. Like Somali pirate ships.
@@DancingPony1966-kp1zr My college friend from West Virginia would get extremely irate when anyone confused her home state for a slave state. If they'd supported the confederacy, they'd still be part of Virginia!
New Jersey may not have started as a penal colony but Georgia did so the video is wrong about saying that wasn't the origin of any US state (only Australia).
Four Corners - has that huge monument and it's not even in the correct spot. ;-) "Is the 4 Corners Monument in the wrong spot? Instead, according to Dave Doyle of the National Geodetic Survey, the monument marking the intersection of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah is about 1,807 feet east of where it should have been placed in 1875. Doyle says the monument's location has been legally adopted by all the states as the official corner."
A lot of the US never really change. FL still have half its Spanish feel, LA still more Caribbean, TX/CA still very much Mexico, The West is still the land of Native Americans. The MW and NE is still lock in old ways and the Appalachians ends in the Ozarks States but spread to central Texas. (Its everything hillbilly.) West Texas and all that is West is landscape. Calli is Calli every state that boarder it is a hangover movie. Maryland and Delaware...give them...IDK they feel MW but NE...they not the south...they need a region...Mid-Atlantic.
Yep. To relieve overcrowding in English prisons, prisoners were sent to Georgia on a kind of work release program. Part of English prison reform efforts.
My 10 times great grandmother was an indentured servant sent to Maryland as an alternative to prison. My 10 times great grandfather had a lot of land and needed a wife, so he paid off the remainder of her time to marry her! He basically used her as breeding stock to gain heirs, never having any affection for her, which he admitted in their divorce, which may have been the first divorce in English America!
@@sherryjoiner396 If it wasn't for the documents from the divorce we'd not have much info on them! Here's part of it- John Tennison's name appears in court records several times during the next few years and in 1673 he was before the court and "desired the earmark of his cattle and brand mark for horses" to be a " fire fork with three prongs." But the most interesting court appearance was in 1682 when John was summoned to court on 25h Oct to hear his wife's complaints against her husband. The court records show that "she could not live peaceable and quietly with him .....prayed allowance of competent maintenance might be awarded her." John denied the charges and thought them unreasonable but did confess in court that he never entertained the love and respect for his wife and neither afforded her the countenance in his house due for man to wife. John had banished Elizabeth from his home some 2-3 years earlier. Elizabeth was rewarded one bed and furniture, all wearing apparel and yearly for time to come 300 pounds meat, 3 bushels corn, 100 pounds tobacco, during her natural life. This quite possibly is the first divorce on American soil!!
Maryland and Delaware were Border States that had slavery, but due to the heavy northern influence didnt secede.. But 90% of Delmarva peninsula and all of Maryland S/E of the DC suburbs i also very similar to Virginia. BOth of those states are effectively hybrid
Those areas are part of the south. People now don’t see them as the south but historically they are. They had to take parts of Va and Md to create DC. DC’s airports are in Va. I see them as southern as apple pie!
Whoever thinks Delaware and Maryland are in the South is smoking some serious crack. Also I'd put Texas and Oklahoma into the Midwest in part because of Timezone, flatness, and hella farming like most Midwestern states.
As part Texan, No...... Texas and Oklahoma are the South, Texas is huge with Eastern and Western half of the state being radically different. The guy who made the video, "not the reactor" is idiot. Just like he didn't include Georgia as part of Appalachia when it is. he called Texas the West not the South, called his opinion. When it's not up for a "opinion".......... I'm 100% positive in Texas people are taught and consider Texas the South. The Great plains are split North and South just like Appalachia, and along The Mississippi are spit North and South. The Eastern half where 90% of the state lives is greener. The East 1/3 of Texas is identical to Louisiana and Arkansas. Houston is in this part. Then Dallas-Fort Worth is in the Cross timbers. This mix of Forest and plains..... Austin is the Hill Country. They identify culturally with the South............ Spain and Mexico never developed Texas they just explored and mission, Texas became dominate and settle by immigrants from the Southern US as early pioneer, in fact most of Texas early leader Sam Houton, Steve Austin etc all were from the South. Texas fought against Mexico.......... Then gave up independence to join the join the US, Then fought again the Union to be with the rest of the South during the civil war............... Otherwise Texas basically fought 2 wars to be with it's Southern peers. Texas is famous for Cowboys, and it's symbolic........ but oblivious most Texans were not Cowboys. Most Texas historically before urbanization where farmers. In fact Dallas grew into a city because of Cotton. That's why Dallas the cotton bowl game. if you had stereotype Texas would cowboy hat wearing southerners. If you take the cowboy hat off, you wouldn't know how to stereotype Texas from Louisiana and Arkansas. Oklahoma is similar situation, but little more complex because of Native Culture. But unfortunately, even they came from the Southeast. I would OKC and Dallas-Fort Worth have a lot in common. As like the edge of the South.

You, as most Marylanders, seem to always forget the western panhandle. Which, in my opinion, is more akin to Western PA or West Virginia.

It's because they're south of the Mason Dixon line. No one thinks that culturally they're southern, but technically they are geographically.

The South doesn't claim Delaware, Maryland, or Oklahoma!!! And we're not so sure about West Virginia. Everything else is fine though.
They are understood as Southern bc they were slave states though they didn’t participate in the secession.
