Ah it’s good to see fellow NJ patriots. Don’t worry my fellow comrades our claims will be had once again.
Out of 50 states, only 10 never used to have more territory than they do now, meaning that as of right now, 80% of the states in the US have lost land.
Wait, WHAT
Also Ohio had more land too (It was the Northwest Territory prior to statehood, so it's actually only 9.
And if you count 1 or both Dakotas, that number can drop from 8 or 7.
That is only if you include the territories which happened to have the same name. Nobody was serious suggesting making the whole of the Missouri territory one giant state. The the majority of the states were more or less "empty land" before statehood, in that they were thinly populated by native Americans, and granted statehood once they had enough population for plausible self-governance. The 13 colonies are an exception (along with Vermont and Maine), as is Louisiana (which had a French population) and Hawaii. Texas did have an independent existence before statehood, but American settlement started only 25 years before statehood.
11 I think
I believe Nevada is also one of the only states to have GAINED land. It took huge chunks out of the Arizona and Utah territories after the Civil War.

The Virginia one is _technically_ incorrect, since, if we include the 1609 and 1611 land grants, it’s “largest extent” would have been most of the Continental United States.

The Dakotas were largest when they were combined to make the Dakota Territory.
Neither of those states were directly descended from the Dakota Territory though. You can easily claim that something like the Jefferson Territory eventually became Colorado, but since you can’t claim that the Dakota territory didn’t become either of the states individually, I don’t think it would count.
The dakota territory doesn't count
@@RandomVidsforthought why bother showing unrecognized territories then? Despite that Dakota Territory was a recognized organized and incorporated territory.

It became an organized territory on March 2, 1861. Upon creation, Dakota Territory included much of present-day Montana and Wyoming as well as all of present-day North Dakota and South Dakota and a small portion of present-day Nebraska.[6] President Lincoln appointed Dakota Territory's first governor, William Jayne, who was Lincoln's old friend and neighbor from Springfield, Illinois.[7]

0:54 Technically Spanish Florida was the entirety of North America but mostly was a string of forts from North Carolina to Texas, French Louisiana was also briefly considered part of it once.
The Spanish maps for Florida really showed they just wanted it to be massive.
Uhh no? Louisiana was given to the Spanish and they control it for sizeable amount of time(40 years) but as far as i knew both Louisiana and Florida was a part of Viceroyalty of New Granada(both had separate administration afaik), in which the capital was Mexico City.
Although suffice to say that the Viceroyalty is too huge and they need to be managed by a Captaincy-General in order to decentralize it and making the administration simpler.
Not really
the spanish forts in north carolina didn't last long either. The natives rose up and destroyed them. You could say thats the other lost colony in north carolina thats not so well known

@@sandyred1140 No. There was a territory before Ohio became a state. In 1800, it was split into Indiana Territory and Northwest Territory and 3 years later Ohio became a state.

Another great video!
You missed a lot of Massachusetts former claimed territory and even some of their formally controlled territory. For a time Massachusetts claimed most of Wisconsin the upper peninsula of Michigan and northern Minnesota as well as a lot of southern New Hampshire. Massachusetts also had control over Nova Scotia at one point, and technically in 1608 the Plymouth colony was granted all land north of Virginia for a short amount of time.

Your vids are the best
Exactly what I wanted to see, thank you
Imagine if Louisiana was just it's own country
For Pennsylvania, you forgot that it once controlled all of Delaware, and since we are counting disputes, claimed parts of Maryland, New York, and Virginia.
Sitting here just jammin to the music. Love it.
I was disappointed by your ostensible maximum of New Mexico. You showed the maximum New Mexico as an organized territory of the United States. But if you had shown it using the same criteria as Louisiana, it would have been much larger than what you showed in this video, when it included much of current-day Texas and even reached up into what is today Wyoming.

I'm from Washington DC and I still wish Arlington and Alexandria county would be part of DC. It would have made Southwest quadrant a lot bigger.

Can you do Australian states to their greatest extent next? There is only 6 so It should be quick.
yeah (but also nah?)

Great video man! I'm just kind of disappointed (state pride) that Ohio didn't have the Midwest Territory for its greatest extent
Territories were "admistered" (regularly forgot to do anything with them) by the federal government. Ohio never owned jackshit prior to its statehood.
Technically it actually did cause the capitals of the northwest territory were in ohio and also it was called "the territory northwest of the ohio river"

In Nebraska we call the boxy western part the Panhandle even though it doesn't look much like one. I later learned it's because of the 1861 border where it extends deep into what is now Wyoming and looked a lot like a pan back then, so really the handle just got broken off

Well:
Delaware could’ve included the former lands of the Delaware River Tribe, which included parts of Pennsylvania and Maryland.
New Jersey claimed Staten Island and parts of Pennsylvania
G&S could’ve chosen to give either one of the Dakota’s the former Dakota Territory which included lands from Nebraska, Wyoming, Minnesota, the Dakota’s (ofc), and Montana.
Ohio could’ve been included as the Northwestern Territory
Oklahoma reached its peak with the short-lived Indian Territory. Basically the Missouri Territory without Missouri and Arkansas.
West Virginia and/or Virginia both could’ve been given the Virginia Grant Colony, which’s claims reached all the way to California.
Wyoming is a perfectly square lake, so idk what you’re even talking about on that.

It was a State. It just wasn’t ever a US state. It was its own independent nation before the land was annexed.
New Jersey was granted ownership of the land built up around the Statue of Liberty so it did grow a little
nice
Why did my comment with 11 likes got deleted or removed or unlisted??I just asked some questions....
I thought it was worth mentioning because other disputed territories were included, New Jersey at least in some part claimed many of the islands now part of New York, famously Liberty and Ellis, but even Staten earlier on, not to mention a dispute on it’s northern border which NJ claimed went much further north than it does today. While I am of the opinion that NJ should be banished to the shadow realm for an eternity of suffering, 2021 is not NJ at its greatest extent according to NJ
Oregon largest extend is when its was still shared in the form of oregon country with britain,and including british colombia too
I love that Missouri is on the thumbnail!
Ohio is actually inaccurate as it was the northwest territories that the us had so yeah it's inaccurate geography and space
Yea but the nw territories wasn't Ohio lol
@@texasrepublic2332 TrIgErEd nukes texas
The Northwest Territory was never shown in the video - it became several states. There was never a Ohio Territory that was larger then Ohio. There was never an Ohio Territoy at all. Unlike Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois which each had larger territories that shrank as the states formed.
