Bro everyone in America doesn’t know anything about New Mexico

[@peterking2651]

Not true. It’s the long, boring drive between Colorado and Texas. I think there are 3 gas stations between Raton (CO/NM) and Texline (NM/TX). I don’t think it’s possible (practical) to drive across northern New Mexico in an EV. But it does have the Blue Hole, where people from the surrounding states come to Scuba Dive.

[@altaclipper]

Georgia O’Keefe. Everyone should know that much about New Mexico. I had a great aunt with a cattle ranch there. She had a shelf in the kitchen with a row of quart-sized Mason jars full of rattlesnake rattles. Every time they killed one, they would cut off the rattles and keep them. I have wonderful memories of real Mexican food (made by real Mexicans), the Carlsbad Caverns and the surrounding desert, miles of pink sand under turquoise skies, pueblos, fresh-churned vanilla ice cream made by one of my uncles in the shade of a porch in the sweltering heat of the afternoon. I love New Mexico, especially Taos.

[@neptune2398]

I live in New Mexico, we're mostly known for our Green chili. We love it so much we see those who don't like it like psychopaths but not really lol. We also have nice mountains and the most Volcanos than any other state but most are dormant.

Delaware: "The first state to become a state" simply means it was the first state to vote to ratify the U.S. Constitution after the Constitutional Convention in 1787. The Convention submitted the proposed Constitution to the 13 then-existing states for debate and ratification, and adoption of the Constitution required an affirmative vote of nine of the 13. Delaware was the first to vote yes. Eventually, all 13 voted to ratify the Constitution by 1788.

I know I'm several months late, but if you have Hulu, there's a series they have called Aerial America, and each episode goes over a different state as seen from the air, and it goes over the landmarks, land formations, history and charm of the states individually. It is absolutely amazing to see. I highly recommend it and I love the videos so far!

Where the Red Fern Grows is a pretty solid suggestion. The original 13 colonies became states at different times, becoming a state has certain constitutional requirements and as each territory reached those requirements they sent in petitions for state-hood which have to be approved by Congress. Check out the Louisiana purchase 'cause there is all kinds of interesting stuff there.

A few quick comments about Louisiana and the French: 1) As several other people mentioned, it used to be French territory. It was more than just the state itself though; the Louisiana Purchase was a HUGE swath of land that basically doubled the size of the United States at the time. Geographically it was most of the American 'midwest'. 2) It was sold to the United States in 1803 because Napoleon needed to pay for his war machine, i.e.- the 'Napoleonic Wars'. 3) There are also a large number of inhabitants in Louisiana that emigrated from Haiti, which was formerly a French colony/slave plantation (until 1804). They formed their own hybrid language and culture as they mixed with the European settlers and Native Americans. This is where Creole language and culture comes from, which is very regionally unique to Louisiana. Love the channel, btw! I'm learning a lot of new things myself. ;o)

[@CapriciousClarity]

Hey, Louisiana native here. It's an alligator, and yeah, it's definitely probably bacon. (Also, alligator is delicious.) You should put South Louisiana (New Orleans area in particular) on your list of potential places to go if you make your way here because the food is divine and the culture is rich AF.

[@ethanpost9774]

Just an example of his West coast bias (not that its all negative, just less informed on some Eastern states). Its just a little shocking to hear "richest, highest educated black ppl" living in Baltimore, having worked in the school system and seeing the worst funded schools in the most poverty stricken areas. while Maryland has high population of wealthy African Americans, to say they have "the richest, highest education black ppl" leaves out the policy brutality that currently exists, and the institutionalized racism that has existed, including when Maryland was segregated. Because of all of this, Baltimore is one of the most dangerous, poverty stricken cities in this country. Other times, he summarizes a state by one city, like Michigan he describes just Detroit. I don't think he meant anything malicious by it, he just knows less about certain areas so keep that in mind.

“Texans don’t mind Mexicans”? Most Mexicans are native Americans and were on the land that is now Texas for thousands of years before any Europeans arrived. Mexicans were in Texas first. The original name of Texas when it was part of Mexico was “Coahuila y Tejas” (Coahuila and Texas). Edit:words

[@faithnfire4769]

Excepting the fact that the Natives that were living in Texas were by and large not the ones that later became the Hispanics of Mexico, (As American Indians were not in fact a single group, especially at the time). Note that the mexican population of texas was both smaller than the Native population (totally estimated but still held as truth) and one 6th the american immigrant/ aligned population at the time of texas becoming a thing. Interesting time in history to read up on, the Apache driving groups south into Mexico, then in turn being destroyed by the Comanche with new horses and guns, (and the Mexicans/Spanish). Historical rant aside lol, most Texas regions have had large Hispanic influences for many years. So by and large its become a matter of smaller regions and cities that have problems with Mexicans (either immigration debates, or just lack of connection, as its much harder to be racist toward the guy you work with than a guy halfway across the country).
