And at the far side of the cup...if one draws a line thru the two stars that form the top and bottom of the cup (the dipper), and extend the line...the line will run thru the North Star...Polaris! That's how one FINDS the North star, if they are lost and don't know which direction they're going.

[@HemlockRidge]

Lets get technical, the "Big Dipper" is Ursa Major (The Great Bear). There is also a "Little Dipper", or Ursa Minor (Little Bear).

[@afcgeo882]

Also... When Alaska was Russian, it had no cities and a few villages in it, which is why Russia had no problem selling it. There are still Russian churches there and a significant number of orthodox believers, though few to no ethnic Russians. That is because the religion was passed on to the local native people. The Russians returned to Russia after the sale as they were all hunters/trappers, not permanent residents.

Also, I don't know if it was mentioned, but we bought Alaska in in 1867.

That's how remote it was.

Also the 1967 Detroit riot - The heaviest casualty, however, was the city. Detroit's losses went a hell of a lot deeper than the immediate toll of lives and buildings. The rebellion put Detroit on the fast track to economic desolation, mugging the city and making off with incalculable value in jobs, earnings taxes, corporate taxes, retail dollars, sales taxes, mortgages, interest, property taxes, development dollars, investment dollars, tourism dollars, and plain damn money. The money was carried out in the pockets of the businesses and the white people who fled as fast as they could. The white exodus from Detroit had been prodigiously steady prior to the riot, totaling twenty-two thousand in 1966, but afterwards it was frantic. In 1967, with less than half the year remaining after the summer explosion-the outward population migration reached sixty-seven thousand. In 1968 the figure hit eighty-thousand, followed by forty-six thousand in 1969.

A very over simplified explanation of what happened to Hawaii that I can remember from my memory, so please take it with a grain of salt. Hawaii was their own sovereign country. In the 1800's Europeans and Americans arrived in Hawaii (And also in other Central and South American lands) to build plantations. Mainly growing in Hawaii banana's and pineapples if I'm not mistaken. The plantation companies started growing really powerful and influential, forming militia's and holding political sway. Eventually in Hawaii these American banana republics overthrew the Hawaiian monarchy and took over the country. And the US pretty much went, "Ok that's cool, we'll just claim this land as a territory now." So they were a US territory until after WW II when the US made them a state. Long and Short: US business people overthrew a legit monarchy and the US took over their land. As for New York, it is confusing for non Americans. Everyone has heard of New York City. But NYC is just a city inside the state of New York, it is just named the same thing. NYC isn't even the state capital of NY either. And as to why Southerners are typically more fat than other parts of the US is because firstly the food that the South is famous for is full of butter and fried. We may not make the healthiest food, but boy does our food taste good. Also sadly, the South by region is the poorest region of the US with the South still not fully recovering from the Civil War and Reconstruction. And here in America the cheapest food to eat is the most unhealthiest. It's cheaper to eat a cheeseburger than a salad basically. Hope these help answer your questions Arthur, Love from Virginia

[@darkapollo3463]

I agree, also I think a reason Hawaii was annexed by the US as a US territory was due to the Spanish American war and Hawaii would serve as a great Naval base for US forces in the pacific.

[@TheBruceGday]

It wasn’t Banana Republics it was actually the Dole company and several other Pineapple/Sugar producers and in 1883 led a rebellion using the plantation owners under the name “committee of Safety” and after applied to the US and was rejected and almost replaced by under the old monarch under the constitution she thrown out. Thus Dole declared himself the ruler of the Republic of Hawaii and tried to sell the Republic a few times to England,Spain,France. Till in 1900 it was passed in Congress in the USA to annex Hawaii after 7 years of being independent and being a republic

[@baskgraff]

I’m from Hawaii, here’s what happened just a small correction, yes plantation was a huge factor, it was mainly sugar cane (mostly Asian workers now our population is like 60+ % Asian/mixed), the queen attempted to close the border and ports for a lockdown because disease reduced our population by around 80% because just like corona we had no immunity, (measles, STDs etc). The plantation owners didn’t like this idea called the US navy and overthrew the Queen illegally, technically we are still an illegally occupied nation in legal terms which is where our green and yellow flag comes in. This is us claiming sovereignty. We also have the state flag the British looking one which is often flown upside down to signal distress in the state when America tries to pull more shit like that.

About Russians in Alaska: The entire region of What today is Alaska was owned by tsarist russia under the name Russian America. It was settled mostly by Russians however these ”Russians” also included Ukrainians, Romanian, Siberian Yupiks, Mongolic Peoples, Chukchi, Koryaks, Itelmens, and Ainu people. A number of these Russians mixed with the local indigenous tribes (that’s the reason why some natives in Alaska are Orthodox Christians) and created the Alaskan Creoles. Most of the tsar-aera Russians assimilated into American society. Most Russians in Alaska are people who came before, during or after the Sovjet aera. There is a town called Nikolaevsk where around 2/3 of the people are descendents of those Russians that came in the 1960s. Some places in Alaska who are Russian settlements include: Three Saints Bay, Fort St. George in Kasilof, Pavlovskaya (now called Kodiak), Novo-Arkhangelsk (now called Sitka) and Fort (New) Alexandrovsk and some more that i Don’t care to mention.

The best of America is what many call fly over country. Most of the European immigrants came to America after the Civil War for free land provided by the Homestead Act. 160 acres, a quarter section, which is a quarter of a square mile. You can see the square mile road grids and quarter sections of farms on the satellite image of many midwestern states. Notice there are NO kilometer road grids... The American farm term of the back 40 involves the 40 acres located the longest distance from the mile roads near the center of the square mile... Even the irrigation crop circles cover a area of a quarter section, usually four crop circles in a square mile...

The best part is that rent is some of the highest in the nation, just to pay for the privilege of living here. And having a car is so essential to living here that, when faced with the choice, a surprising number of people choose to live in their cars, because being able to drive is more important than having a proper (and very expensive) roof over your head.

No, some American plantation owners staged a coup with the help of some glory seeking military officers. The US government at the time did not actually want to own Hawaii.

Only thing missing from Kentucky was our caves and Corvette's. Other than that pretty accurate.

When Hawaii was an individual state, Sugar businessmen took away the native Hawaiian land in order to turn it into sugar cane fields. Then American politicians forced the previous king before he died to let them into the Hawaiian cabinet in order to only influence the islands. But, Colombian sugar was being imported as well as Hawaiian sugar, so the sugar cane businessmen and the politicians both agreed to annex Hawaii in order to get priority over Colombian sugar, making Hawaiian sugar way cheaper and so, way more popular than the competition. And when queen Liliuokalani became the queen of Hawaii she wanted Hawaiians only in her cabinet and to undo all of what the American politicians did ever since the king died. Saying that Liliuokalani was causing chaos and unrest. leading to the invasion of US marines to seize the kingdom. Liliuokalani protested instead of fighting back to avoid conflict and bloodshed. While the queen was being seized, the American politicians became the new "provisional government", though the Hawaiian people petitioned against the annexation, the provisional government used a resolution to make Hawaii anew state for America. Making the annexation of Hawaii illegal and no politician has yet to right these wrongs. Check out oiwi.tv/oha/paa-ke-aupuni/ For more details, mahalo
