I live in Ohio and he didn't mention that we have The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. I don't really know why he left out Nashville, Tennessee because that's where you go if you want to make it big in country music. Ohio is also known for being The Birthplace of Aviation. The Wright brothers were born here. Actually, only one was, Orville. During WW2, people came from out of state to get work in the rubber factories making tires and we, also, had Government jobs manufacturing parts for war planes. Akron used to be known as "the rubber capital of the world". Ohio has more than what the guy was making it out to be. A lot of the reason people have been moving out is because the rubber companies have closed and being sent overseas. Cleveland had Iron factories which produced Iron and Iron products. Those jobs have been outsourced, too. When jobs leave, so do people.

I'm taking this reference from another video where he thought Tennessee was full of ranches even though it's very mountainous and forested.

There is a rich history associated with states’ identities. Indiana is called the Hoosier state because of a common greeting by early settlers there. When they heard a knock on the cabin door they would say “Who’s here?” The people became associated with this phrase and became referred to as Hoosiers. You should take a look at why states are referred to by these unique identities. Tennessee for example is called the Volunteer state because of its residents’ over representation in the military. Oklahoma is the Sooner State, North Carolina is the Tarheel state. And so on…
