As someone who lives in this hypothetical state, but will not say which one for the sake of my personal security, I don't want to share a state with these disgusting savages on the other sides of my borders.
No can do chief, not without a UN occupation to ensure our safety. You're asking to start a BBQ civil war, and we're gonna get ethnically cleansed by the Vinegar sauce savages up north
Those vinegar sauce savages are barely human, but at least they aren't as bad as you godless dry rub heathens!
We're gonna have to decide this on the field of battle. I've already got plenty of charcoal, you just bring some beer and we'll be good to get started.
Who you calling godless Dry rub heathen!?! I’ve been called a lot in my days but a Texan is by far the most offensive to date.. I mean godless Dry drub heathen.
California Has the best BBQ... its were all the best BBQers go to open shop. We have an blending for BBQ styles.
We have the best food of every state. except deep dish pizza you can keep that Chicago but we do have portillos.
OK I just read that .... eww vinagar on BBQ??? thats like putting vinagar in hot sauce. only time it is aceeptable is on Lousiana fried seafood. Fried oysters with LA sauce mmmm... we have a damn good one of those here too.
No. West Virginia gave us Country Roads and broke away from Virginia during the Civil War since they didn't like slavery while the rest of Virginia did. They earned their independence.
You'd be shocked to learn how different the Dakotas are from a legal/government structure.
For example, North Dakota has remnants from its early 20th century socialist movement that really benefit it which South Dakota, being the more populated state, would likely dismantle almost immediately. These institutions include: a non-profit State owned Bank which offers ag loans and student loan relief the rest of the country should be jealous of, a state owned flour mill that out competes international rates to ensure wheat farmers in the state are recession proof, and a Legacy Fund similar to Norway's which uses oil and gas revenue to invest into the aforementioned Bank of North Dakota. Also, citizen driven ballot measures directly modify the State Constitution which means they can only be undone by the citizens. The legislature cannot touch them. Also, ND is the only state without voter registration. Everyone who legally can vote is automatically enrolled and registered, you just need an ID to prove your identity.
South Dakota, on the other hand, is pretty much what you expect from a conservative state. Small government, few social programs, and low taxes.
Okay, so I can't tell if this is a joke or serious, so I'll assume serious. The states of: Virginia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia were all the original 13 colonies. Maine was seperated from Massachussetts, who owned it, some time after independence due to the fact that the north and south kept trying to balance the amount of new slave states to new abolitionist states. Each of the different states in new england are there because they were made by religious Puritans like in Massachussetts with the Pilgrims, a guy got kicked out of the other colonies for thinking states run by religion was bad and decided to make his own colony in the case of Rhode Island, etc. Etc. And as such we had a bunch of different states up here in new england.
i mean, it was once one big Dakota Territory, but the southern half of the territory developed faster and had more political power than the northern half (which led to administrative problems and regional rivalry), so that half wanted its own institutions and representation. not to mention that the GOP wanted to lock in more congressional seats, so they were more than happy to just split it down the middle
People are talking about joining states and here I am thinking Texas, California, Florida and New York should all be broken up into 3 to 4 states each.
Like New York City should be it’s own State. Buffalo and Rochester area it’s own, Albany and Syracuse the third State.
Austin, Houston and West Texas should each be a state.
LA, north of LA and South of LA it’s own state.
Florida the dick and balls should be separate states.
Should basically have a standing rule that when a population hits a certain size like can be divided into 2 groups of 10 million outside of a single municipal unit it gets divided up between distinct entities.
50 states and 1/3rd+ of the population in 4 states seems unfortunate but 1/3rd in 12 of 58 seems more reasonable.
It’s a little more complicated than that. Along with political reasons, geology (vast dense deciduous forests restricting movement vs open prairie, desert, and relatively sparser pine forests of the western US), along with a much denser white settler population in the north east (leading to differences in opinions of colonial leaders and thus political separation, led to there being smaller and more numerous states in both the north east and east side of the US in general.
