What is more is they went nearly 70% for Lincoln in the 1864 election and his fifth strongest state in his reelection, and had some of the biggest public mourning for him when he was assassinated. There are still many monuments to him around the state. I know people from down there who wear with pride their families fought in Blue in the civil war.

Both the biscuit and the chicken were so dry they must have been under a heat lamp for 12 hours at least.)

I can't believe they named a state after a song

[@jaguarsky55]

Grew up in Hurricane. I still pronounce it that way even when speaking of large tropical storms.

[@caolinncraig3427]

kanawha and manongahalia(i think that how my teacher spells it🤷‍♀️) are so much fun to try and pronounce. i’m from Parkersburg WV which is in wood county and history class is sometimes just like this video

[@lolelyamour8527]

I'm not even from the South, and I'm pronouncing most of these right. How is that?

[@mrmagoo-i2l]

I bet you still can’t say Loughborough.

[@lolelyamour8527]

Let me try. Low-bore-oh I'm really bad at those things that pronounciate.

[@mrmagoo-i2l]

Lolely Amour It’s LuFF-bore-ugh. The ffs are like a hiss. I’m from the U.K. no one from another country gets it. Good attempt though. This seems to be the hardest.

[@melissagayheart7716]

I got most of these right lol all of my family is from West Virginia lol

[@sherryarmstrong4683]

[@almostemptynester777]

I live in Washington, which is right next to Blennerhassett, which makes me happy. :)

Actually, many dont pronounce the "i" in Hurricane; I think its optional.
