The next state I'll be covering in The US Explained is North Carolina! To all my subscribers from North Carolina, please reply to fill me in on what I need to know about your home state, such as unique food, traditions, places, some fun facts and local dialects and pronunciations! I can't promise everything will make it into the video, but I will try my best, and I'm looking forward to getting started!
North Carolina state and Tokyo prefecture Japan is at around the same latitude with similar climate both being Cfa climate which is humid subtropical however North Carolina got a lower population density and way lower population than Tokyo prefecture Japan.
Well my hometown if New Bern was the birthplace of Pepsi and the third colonial capital of NC but also the first state capital of NC because of it being the colonial capital the governor of the time decided to build a mansion named after him named Tryon Palace. New Bern is named after the capital of Switzerland because of the founding settlers being primarily German and French Huguenots. Another interesting fact is that on the island of Ocracoke and surrounding coastal islands there exists a dialect that is unique to the islands called "Hoi Toider" English which is more related to British English than to American English accents.
From Raleigh Durham area
I live in Greensboro and, the sit in's during the civil rights movement strated here. It's also the birthplace of dolly Madison and it's called the gate city because of all the trains that went through it.
-The Eastern vs Western NC BBQ difference is a big thing in the state.
-That Rocky Mount is the home of Hardees.
-Also, how Tobacco has funded the two big private schools in the state. Duke started in Trinity NC but the Duke family paid to move it to Durham in the 1920s. Then the town of Wake Forest which is just to the N. of Raleigh had a small liberal arts college, but since the 1950s Wake Forest U has been in Winston-Salem. The RJ Reynolds family was jealous that Durham, the other big tobacco town in the state, had a good school and they didn't, so they basically did the same thing to WFU, and paid to move it to Winston-Salem. There is a small Baptist seminary in the town of Wake Forest now, where the old WFU was.
Fun fact: When America was just getting started Philadelphia was the country's alpha city. But it was quickly upstaged by New York and never looked back. The reason is because of geography: going west from Philadelphia you hit an impenetrable wall of mountains where there are no navigable waterways and going over land was rough. From New York you can go up the Hudson and then up the Mohawk Valley to reach the Great Lakes and access the Midwest. The Erie Canal helped cement New York's position as a hub for inward expansion as well as outward trade because of it's protected harbor. Thus, New York became the American Rome and in the age of American Hegemony is basically the political, economic, and cultural center of the entire world. Poor Philly, where I live, sits less than 100 miles away, and although it's a large city it will always be in New York's shadow.
Philadelphia was still incredibly influential even after New York surpassed it in status and population. It was the industrial "workshop of the world" at one point, and was the nation's hub for the newest technology, best industry, and innovations in transportation. Unfortunately that ended in the 50s and 60s with industry moving overseas, but Philly is again seeing another resurgence pretty much right now.
You quickly upstaged this entire video
I agree - Philadelphia was the city of the USA at one point and in the late 1900s was the 4th largest city in the USA, only NY, Chicago and LA were larger.
@@patentexperts1675 and today, still very much the same order, no?
It's sixth now, behind Miami and Phoenix I think
Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, Yonkers, New Rochelle etc would all be significant cities if located in another state. Just shows you how economical, politically and socially dominant NYC is
Well Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany are already big cities. Yonkers would be big if located elsewhere. But new Rochelle only has about 70 thousand residents, not big enough
Buffalo and Rochester already had been significant cities in the past, at their peak, Buffalo was the 15th largest US city, Rochester peaked as the 23rd largest US city. These cities grew and declined on their own
Well I’m from Utica and I’ve never heard anyone call these, “steamed hams”.
@@Gevixel "(Except Cali)" uhh are you sure about that? LA, San Fran, Long Beach and San Diego are all rich and successful cities. I think you should double down from your doubts about California because its always the same thing with the stigma around Cali.
@@itzpro5951 Buffalo was at one time one of the top ten ports in the WORLD when measured in tonnage and it's port was not even open year round.
Native New Yorker. I've lived in the Boroughs, the suburbs and now in the countryside of this great state. Don't underestimate how big and how beautiful it is!
NY is so diverse, with NYC having its own culture and significant immigrant communities, the western and central part having a more midwest/rust belt influence, and the eastern part having a new englad influence. And with one of the most pristine wilderness on the east coast in the adirondacks.
It is connected to many significant East coast US watersheds, including the hudson, delaware, susquehanna (chesapeke bay), saint lawrence/great lakes, and mississippi via the allegheny river.
Also what noone mentions about Rochester is the massive gorges and waterfalls along the genessee river that are located throughout the downtown. I have never seen anything like it
@@Gevixel used to live in Syracuse and white plains. now livev on the NH VT border. ur totally right I forgot about the Canadian / Quebec influence as well.
You explained it perfectly being from rochester feels like Chicago
One thing of note: The Adirondacks are actually not geologically part of the Appalachians. They are a unique geological anomaly created by a continually expanding dome of rock that is worn away by the elements, creating peaks. While the Appalachians are actively eroding, the Adirondacks are still growing a fairly rapid rate.
They are also a lot older then the Appalachians if memory serves. Though I dont think the formations history is completely understood on how it came to be, the rocks there are much, much older.
I literally just watched this part, and as someone that spent every summer growing up exploring the adks, I came running to the comments to say this.
@@noahbates2221 the rocks are much older - about 2 billion years old. The uplift is a more recent geological event ~ 10 million years ago, and still growing!!
@@davidchojnacki2996 thats what i thought. Its just been a while since ive looked at the geological data, so didnt want to say a age or something and not have it be accurate
The Catskills, Ramapos and my home the beautiful Palisades towering over the Hudson.
Well done! As a non-NYC New Yorker, it was good to see so much information about the ENTIRE state, and with only a few minor errors that I noticed. Overall, you covered most of the important things, and you did it in a reasonable amount of time.
What were the Errors?
@@STAK_22 Adirondack mountains are their own geographic mountain range and separate from Appalachians. Albany being the oldest city in the country - St. Augusitine holds that title (though it was originally founded by the Spanish and not an original city). Those were the only two that I noticed. I must say this was a very well done video and so glad that he focused on the history of the state as a whole and not exclusively NYC propper. Great video!
A few things on Long Island:
- Nassau is pronounced like "Nass-AWW"
- The Republican base on the island is not, and historically has not been, the Hamptons. It is middle-class Irish and Italian Catholics. Mostly on the South Shore too, a corridor that is basically from Merrick to Shirley. The Hamptons is so affluent it is in a class of its own, and a lot of those rich people are now moderate-liberal. Hillary and Biden voters.
Also the SUNY college system is pronounced like "Soo-nee."
As a lifelong New Yorker who has lived in multiple regions within the state I absolutely love this video. It felt like a love letter to my home and was very informative. Than you for making this
I second this! Grew up in Long Island and lived upstate for a while
Whenever I travel, I often get people who assume I’m from NYC when I say New York. When I explain that I in fact grew up in the woods and the neighbor was a farmer, I get weird looks. It’s honestly kind of funny how some people assume the entire state of New York is a city.
You are right, but remember, the State was named after the City.
@@ikmarchini Yeah true, but the state and city are so vastly different from eachother, that it’s necessary to specify which is which.
So relatable. I may Syracuse area native and wherever I travel, it always happens. 😆 “Nope, not from NYC, friend.”
I moved to Virginia seven years ago and I have experienced the same thing. It gets rather old. So I have come up with an idea to show them how clearly ignorant their thinking is. I tell them to pretend that the state of Virginia is called Richmond State. Then I tell them to imagine how it would feel if every time someone asked them where they were from and they said Richmond State to assume that they mean Richmond City and that the whole State of Richmond is a city. And then I go on to explain that the state of New York has rural parts and city parts just like every state. And I go on to explain to them that NY state is 554 thousand square feet and NY city is 302 square feet
I just tell people 'Canadian border, american side' lmao
Glad these videos are still lengthy! Was afraid you were going to trim it. Love it. I treat it like a movie when the videos get released.
Glad u enjoyed it !❤️
When I was learning about the European colonizers in APUSH, we were split up in groups, each assigned a certain empire. For my group, it was the Dutch and we had to talk about their approach. So when it came to a question about Indian relations when I was doing my research at home, I was expecting "Oh it's gonna be negative like everyone else"...and then I realized they had pretty good ties with the natives. Focusing on trade. Heck, there was even a Mohawk creole based on Dutch. The Mohawk favored the Dutch because they viewed them as protection from the French-allied Huron. They were a reasonable power. Unfortunately, they didn't treat Indonesia the same way
Heyy i have apush too!! for the colonization period i was in quarantine so i couldnt do much tho
How do you manage to comment on every video I watch? 😂😂😂
This is great. You utilized your education in a productive manner here
I remember my APUSH days
Been a while since I’ve seen you. I’m about to take APUSH.
13:48 Pictures you can hear... *"This is the train to, Ronkonkoma! The next station is, rOnKoNkOma*
The Adirondacks are NOT part of the Appalachian Mountains. Although many say they are, they are actually part of the Canadian Shield plateau. And thus, not part of the mountain system.
Adirondack comes from the Mohawk term "ha-de-ron-dah" or "eater of trees". No mention of Lake George while talking about the Adirondacks? No mention of Sleepy Hollow either during the Hudson Valley part? The audacity. Sleepy Hollow is the absolute BEST place to visit in the Valley, they host a jack-o-lantern blaze every year for Halloween. And you can visit the locations mentioned in the story!
Lol I always here that playing over the loudspeaker
I had no idea.
The newer trains changed the voice unfortunately.
LOVE IT
My favorite is: "This is the train to Ronkonkoma. The next station is... wYANDAAAANCH."
LOVE how you covered upstate just as extensively as you did the city. The one thing I would add is discussing Long Island a bit more, especially the eastern part. There is a North Fork and South Fork that are culturally very different and worth touching on. But regardless, well done as always! :)
Yes!! I agree....i live in dutchess county
They USE to be different. The North Fork has been invaded by wealthy NYC residents now that are buying up all the real estate for second homes. The local businesses now cater to them and the North Fork is quickly losing it's more rural feel of the past. My family lives in Greenport. I myself lived there for 14 years and still visit regularly. It's changed so much in the last decade that ( for me ) it's lost it's charm. It's also now wickedly expensive just like the South Fork.
It was great to be part of this video on New York! Thanks again, and looking forward to seeing you the next video in the fifty states series!
Thank you so much for all your help! It was a pleasure to have you featured in this episode!
Being from Utica, I can tell you, we are on the rebound! Thank you for the great information! I've been waiting on this one for a long time!
A video about New York, that also talks about upstate New York? Impossible!
Kimpossible
As a New Yorker I’m glad you didn’t just focus on NYC entirely
I'm a native of Rochester and I've never heard of the state having a region known as the "Northern Tier". There is the "Southern Tier", but not a northern one. There is the "North Country" but that is in the Adirondacks.
You are correct. The Twin Tiers are actually comprised of the Southern Tier of NY and the Northern Tier of PA. I live in Steuben County, just ten miles from the PA border.
Excited to finally hear about my homestate, and stoked to see you didnt overlook upstate NY
I just watched your last video and when I saw that you were gonna do a video on NY I went to your channel to see if it was up yet. 15 minutes ago, perfect!
Being a born and raised Buffalonian the 15 counties in that part of the state are called Western New York(WNY)
I remember having to listen to my old man's AM country radio, WNYR. SO GLAD the Beatles came along.
My sister went to college at the University of Rochester, and I have to mention a few omissions about the city! First, it was nicknamed the Flour City after its mills, but also the *Flower* City, as it was also a major location for that industry, and apparently the residents couldn't ignore the wordplay opportunity. Second, Mt. Hope Cemetary, adjacent to the U of R's campus, is one of the largest cemetaries in the country, and holds the graves of many famous residents - I've personally been to those of Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass. And third, you forgot the city's main culinary claim to fame, the "Garbage Plate", a testament to late night college fare and one of the most disgustingly beautiful things you'll ever see. Great video!
I am a Rochestarian and can confirm all of this is correct.
Fellow rochesterian, great added points!!
As a Buffalonian, when I hear "Rochester," two things immediately come to mind: Dogtown, and Jazz Fest.
I need me a garbage plate right now
garbage plate? nice culinary claim to fame
Great video - Being in the Art world , and growing up in NYC , we have some of the country's most famous Art museums- Auction houses and Art gallery's . Artists changed Soho , Chelsea , Tribeca , Lower East Side and Williamsburgh You had a lot to pack in.
The quality of these long-form videos is absolutely unreal. Could listen to you talk all day! Keep it up
From one great city to another
🇫🇷 Paris 🇺🇲 New York 💪💪💪
New York is by far one of my favorite states. I am a New Englander. But I have deep routes in NY, my mom's family originates from there. I can trace my ancestry back to Dutch settlers which is pretty cool. Currently I live in the NYC metro in CT. I have been exploring, and looking to explore the Hudson valley and Capital Region where my family is from.
Thanks great video. I'm a LoHud resident brought up on LI, spent my career in NYC Metro and went ot college upstate. We have our issues, but I'd not trade the variety inside the empire state for anywhere else. I've travelled and hung out in every corner and all the the sections are unique-From Chataugua county to Plattsburgh, Lake Ontario to Montauk, ADKs to NYC . Mountains, Ocean, Great Lakes, Finger Lakes, Rivers and Lakes..and the Mega City of the country.
I think the Adirondacks are not actually part of the Appalachian Moubtains, but a separate range?
They are separate from all other mountain ranges, they were formed by a granitic intrusion pushing up the mountains as a dome. What's interesting is that the region previously was an ancient mountain range mightier than the Himalayas resulting in the rocks of the Adirondacks being some of the oldest on the surface of the earth. (I had lunch on the second oldest rock on the surface on a school trip, i think the oldest is in Greenland)
The name is derived from an Algonquin slur meaning "bark eater".
Nassau County is pronounced Na-saw. Also there is one tiny section of Manhattan on main land New York, Marble Hill.
Fun-Fact: Nassau is a German Royal House, named after the city/castle of Nassau in the 21th century. They were the most important monarchs in Dutch history but also of Hessian history.
@@Judah132 King William III of England for whom the College William & Mary was partly named was of the House of Orange-Nassau. He was the son-in-law (& nephew) of James II and they were invited to rule Britain after the Glorious Revolution saw the end of James’s reign. There is also a county in New York name Orange County for that family not the fruit. Although name Nassau comes from a place that is now in Germany, the name Orange comes from a place that is now in France (but had been a principality previously).
Correct. Either the Harlem River moved or they moved it, I forget.
Although the NYC Subway system is the largest in terms of stations, it isn 7th in terms of ridership.
I grew up where your upstate guest was from in the northern Catskills. I would also mention that the SUNY (State Univ. of NY) college system is the second largest state University system in the country after California. Also, the very first Public Engineering college (West Point) and the first private Engineering college (RPI or Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) are both on the Hudson River in NYS. NYS also plays a large role in horse racing, with Saratoga Racecourse and Belmont, as well as Saratoga having the horseracing Hall of Fame.
I only found one error in your entire video. The Adirondacks are NOT part of the Appalachian chain. They are actually a Granite dome pushed up from the crust from deep mantle activity and geologically part of the Canadian Shield that runs along the north side of the great lakes, as is it's vegetation.
This was an EXCELLENT documentary of NY. It is hard to fit everything about NY into one hour. It is, in my opinion, the most diverse state in the USA.
Every time. Every damn time I tell someone I’m from New York they automatically‘s assume I’m from the city. I’m from the Syracuse area and I always have to remind them that New York State isn’t just the city. (especially foreigners 😂) There’s hundreds of miles of rolling hills, the Finger Lakes, and vast farmland too!
I'm also living in CNY and I've come to terms with this. Most of the time when you bump into a New Yorker out of NY state, they're from the city. Not only because NYC and its surrounding metro are 2/3rds of the state's population but because they also tend to be more mobile.
47:44 My family is from the Adirondacks - I share my last name with a small town in the far-Upstate region, one grandmother shares her last name with an old resort town and another great-grandmother shares the name of a small town near Schenectady. I grew up in other regions of the US - primarily the South - but due to COVID allowing me to work remotely, I recently moved as far north in New York as I possibly could, near the area where a large portion of my family is from.
I'm glad I did move. While the village I live in may be a bit rough due to manufacturing job loss, it's a sight better than Atlanta's traffic and I foresee great things for this region, provided we all survive the coming storms.
I'm doing my best to move from Atlanta to western NY. I've been here far too long. I lived here from mid 1975 to late 1979, when it was a pretty cool city, then to Houston, and back to Atlanta in August 1989, where I've been ever since (East Cobb, actually). I am sooo over this traffic, the Trumptards and their backwards politics who run the state, the skyrocketing housing costs, the gun culture, the car culture, and the fucking heat. I was born in Rochester and that's the general area I'm going back to.
Love my state. Thank you for covering the entire state. Im nyc born and raised but went to college in Buffalo and sleep away camp in the Hamptons. Made many friends from other cities from that and my sorority so I have gotten the opportunity to experience so many of our major cities. I definitely suggest taking an Amtrak train from Buffalo to nyc on the local track in the winter, that view is beautiful. Only place I haven't been is northeast Ny.
As someone who lives in Western New York near Buffalo, thank you for showing that NY isn't ALL just NYC. Lots of people don't realize that. I'm sure most New Yorkers would be glad to see it.
As somebody from Long Island thank you so much for saying 'On Long Island' not 'In Long Island' it helps more then you know
Why? I use both.
@@adurpandya2742 heretic
'On' is correct for any island.
@@gold-818heretic is the perfect response for anyone who says “in long island” it sounds so gross…
14:52 the darkest blues are the cities, with Tompkins County, home to Ithaca and Cornell University, being "10 square miles surrounded by reality".
Love your intro - still watching & haven’t finished yet but had to say how great the beginning was!
I mean New York City HAS to be the coolest, it's where all the Superheroes are from. Granted that means all the aliens, supervillains, crazy elder god cults and kaiju end up there too but I mean...Spider-Man is pretty cool.
It's just lucky that all the villains attack New York, if they attacked Bismarck or Milwaukee, no one would be there to defend it.
Nah
Another great video! I already can't wait for the next one. You cover so much and you're very informative. Learned some things about New York I never knew 💯✌
This content is so comprehensive for CZcams videos. Like this is becoming PBS special length or some kind of streaming service documentary.
56:00 I visited NYC for the first time last month, and the guest speaker's take is spot on. Regardless if you want to live there or not, it's an experience I think everyone should have if they're able. Interacting with so many different people is a beautiful thing, and to do so in an iconic urban landscape is just incredible!
This was excellent. NYer born and raised here. Now living in NJ.
Buffalo guy to the fullest here. As far as I'm concerned, NYC could become it's own city-state like Singapore as outside of many northeastern proclivities, culturally we don't share a lot in common with them. We have our own thing going on in Western NY as we refer to ourselves vs. Upstate which most in NYC will refer to anything as in the state outside of the NYC metro. Buffalo is sandwiched with the Canadian border, a 3 hour drive to the midwest (Cleveland), an hour or so from Appalachia (the Southern Tier of NYS) and the greater northeast. That Lake Erie life is different from the Atlantic life.
I originally have family from Harlem, and also visited Suffolk County a lot - I really do cherish the moments I've spent on Manhattan and Long Island. If I had money, I'd move there of course ^^ But of course I want to visit Upstate New York as well, wich I never got the chance for. Now I live in Berlin-Brandenburg (Germany), but other than New York the margravian region outside of Berlin is flat as a pancake.
I was born and raised in the Northeast Bronx ( Go Yankees !! ) . Though I live in Virginia now I would never trade my childhood and youth growing up in NYC. It was an education in and of itself. Good Job !!
I'm envious of your maps. Thank you for all your work.
One interesting aspect of the Erie Canal is that, in the early 1800s, it was a conduit for migration to the Midwest. My ancestors left western Massachusetts in 1828, went west on the Canal to Lake Erie, and then down the Lake to settle in Ohio. The Canal allowed whole families to migrate, along with as much of their household goods as they could pay to fit onto flatboats. It was a major improvement over Conestoga wagons.
25:15 in the 1950's, Elmira had a population of 56,000. As the railroads went bankrupt or merged, the population has dropped to 26,000. Manufacturing in Elmira has not shrunk, but the railroads and associated businesses employed many people.
This guy was from palenville, saugerties, Kingston. Great areas 👍 Gotta check out the mountains out west. Nice rolling hills past Phoenicia but I won't tell where 😝
As a native New Yorker, I'd like to commend you on your well written and graphically accurate opus that contained tasty nuggets - one in particular was the size of Adirondack Park relative to the combined area of a handful of popular national parks.
I'm a Western New Yorker (Wyoming County, which just kind of hovers between the rust belt and Appalachia... but more toward the latter). The culture is so different from the City that I feel more like I'm in a foreign country in Manhattan than if I'm in, say, Toronto. For a while, I remember them trying to push the "Buffaronto corridor" as a thing. It's also still a Yankee enclave--New Englanders just skipping over NYC and settling whole Yankee towns out there, so little New England towns are also more familiar. It's a weird little cross of cultures!
Having grown up in downstate NY and then lived in the midwest and CNY, I can say that Central/Western NY feels almost like you took the people out of the Great Lakes midwest and plopped them into a northeastern locale. It's not that simple of course, but that's the best way to sum it up in a sentence. Upstate NY is by no means the same as the midwest, but it feels allot closer to that than it is to NYC.
I used to study at Pratt Institute, in Brooklyn. I lived two years on campus and then two years in the city…
…both totally awesome and pretty cool.
Im from Port Jervis! Ayyyyy finally a shoutout.
I always loved the borders segment, and I must say I disliked it now. It was hard to follow without seeing the border, even with a decent knowledge of NY's shape. I hope you go back to the old way.
Anyway, great video and series :)
He also didn't mention the Native American reservations and their impact on the border
Aww was hoping for more on the Southern Tier’s contribution to tech and the military industries throughout the Cold War era, and possibly the multiple historical attempts of upstate and downstate to separate into separate states
Wonderful video! Just a note - the Adirondacks aren't part of the Appalachians, but are the result of a completely different and more recent orogeny.
The orogeny that made the Adirondacks is older than the Appalachian mountains. It’s like 1-2 billion years old
People from Alaska and Hawaii waiting for a video about their state: 👶👦🧑👨👨🦳👴💀🪦. Love the vid tho
That’s probably going to be a decade from now considering TII only posted 5 videos relating to US states in a timeframe of one entire year.
i am always sad to watch these types of videos without even mentioning the Binghamton area, including Endicott and Johnson City. All are very important in New York and the US history, and usually forgotten
“S-U-N-Y”, yeah we just say Soony
I’m from St. Catharines never thought I’d hear it brought up on yt! Shout out from Canada
The adirondacks are NOT part of the Appalachians. The Adirondacks are part of the Canadian shield and are totally separate and created at a different time, and were once estimated to approach 30k feet in height in antiquity.
Correct. This is one of the few mistakes I noticed as well. The video was mostly accurate, but that statement was 100% wrong.
This was a very well made video and worth it being an hour long! Keep it up!
It is nice to hear from a couple of people from New York. I went through New York last summer and visited Buffalo, Niagara Falls, the women’s rights national historic site in Seneca Falls, the Capitol building in Albany plus Martin Van Buren’s home just south of Albany. Buffalo has the Theodore Roosevelt’s Inangural NHS. It was very interesting. I went to New York City in 2018 and only saw five national historic sites. There is so much to see and do. I was only there two days and one night. I did it on a budget by staying in an Airbnb and taking the subway. I went to the crown of the Statue of Liberty but now the stuff from up there is in a museum. It would be nice to see the museum.
Don’t stop what you do man, These are awesome. And gold to someone like me who has any interest in geography. 👍
Really enjoy the guests on your videos…nice touch of variety and perspective
An hour long video about my home state? Aw hell yeah!
In 2016 I flew into New York, I was there i believe 3 days to watch the ball drop. I Loved New York. My first time visiting.
68 minutes. Bonkers! Good stuff!
So many of these state borders are so messed up . . .
By now, I have watched nearly all of the state videos that you have made up to this point & I truly love what you are doing.
I am learning so much that I just didn't have any idea about . . . THANK YOU!!!
But I didn't catch them in order . . . these states of our earliest history & the history leading up to how they came into being . . . the BIRTH PAINS before we ever became a Nation, the lessons we had to learn, how I wish we had learned some things more quickly & handled them better than we did . . .its aggravating & frustrating but also brings me to tears with pride for the ancestors of each state . . . its all so incredible.
Then each state to later join the nation, how, why, when - I truly do appreciate all the research you have done, the consistency of presenting comparable data of each video of each state, climate, conditions, population & religion percentages, topography, boundary disputes & resolutions, leading from the past to present day - excellent work & your brother is TERRIFIC, give him a big hug!!!!
Yay!!! My home state!!
These are awesome! Always so stoked when these pop up in my feed.
Awesome content as always, C. Thank you for all the effort you put on your videos!
Thanks for watching and ur welcome !
Thanks for these great videos! Greetings from Germany
Fun fact: the mountain and water on New York's state seal is Mount Beacon overlooking the Hudson River, as seen from the vantage point of Washington's Headquarters in Newburgh NY.
Washington's Headquarters was George Washington's last outpost in the American revolution, and a few vital things happened here (and while Washington traveled back and forth to the Cantonment in nearby New Windsor). The Purple Heart was created while Washington was stationed here, the official ceasefire from Britain was received formally ending the war (and the nearby headquartered Poughkeepsie Journal was the first newspaper in the country to report that the war was over), the Newburgh Conspiracy happened here (an act to incite rebellion conspired by some disillusioned soldiers by pressuring Washington to become a king, which Washington famously "took off his spectacles" and rebuked.) The Hudson River itself played an enormous role in the Revolution, being the vital waterway bisecting the then colonies into the industrious north and material rich south, and Mount Beacon, as the name suggests, was used as both a vantage point and to send smoke signals which could be seen from West Point.
In addition to being important to the war, Washington's Headquarters is important even in a meta context of historical preservation within the United States; it was the very first historic site to be preserved in the US, having been acquired and preserved by NY state starting in 1850.
So while it seems generic the mountain range on the seal is steeped in symbolism.
Im SO glad you pronounced Poughkeepsie right lmao
As someone named Carter who is currently studying geography and Urban and Regional planning this video made my day. You Literally feel like my spiritual doppelganger cuz this Literally the sort of thing I live and breath for daily. Also the attention to detail is unmatched in bringing up how metro areas actually contribute to overall population of the area as well as how the climate has changed to subtropical. I thought you were joking at first until I fact checked it and realized you were not capping. I'm sure most people don't care or notice but this content is a just s tier above other geography channels who don't actually feel educated on geographical information and make mistakes and use old statistics and facts ect. Feel like some channels just use basic geography facts for content but this is actually the in depth dive I need on specific geographic areas because geography isn't just looking at maps of country boarders and statistics.
Ah I'm so excited (just starting to watch now!)!! I'm really glad you take your time with each of these videos; the quality of the content is much more meaningful than if one was trying to churn these out on a deadline. I patiently wait for the next one!

Great video. I did cringe at some of the place name mispronunciations but not being a local, you can't be expected to nail them. We've got some weird ones. For example Oneida -- Oh-Nye-dah
This is fantastic content. So well researched and so thorough. Presented in such a concise and intelligent manner. I enjoyed every last second of this video. I have already subscribed to your channel and now plan to binge watch more of your content. Thank you for this top-drawer video. All the imagery you used in the video along with the narration was also excellent and makes the video so deeply engaging. This must have taken you a very long time to produce, and again, thank you for providing it for people like me who really enjoy this kind of content. Very, very well done.
I am from Dutchess County in New York. So much great history there. I love to study it.

“Nasso” 😭 it’s “nass-aw” lol
No it’s not. Both are wrongly pronounced.
@@RealConstructorIm from nassau… its like nas saw. I guess you mean splitting the s from the au is wrong, and i agree.
the best way to describe it is NASA but change the end to aw
@@user-rb4cj7mb8f It’s originally a German duchy, a Dutch royal family title/name and a Luxemburgs grand duchy family title/name. Americans butcher the pronunciation.
Thank you for explaining the whole state of NY and not just 302 square feet of it.
Predominately Italian-American is much too strong while largest ethnic group is true. Certainly some neighborhoods & areas are, the whole of each of those places are not. NY is too diverse for any metropolitan county to be predominantly one thing.
Bernie Sanders was born in NYC & raised in Brooklyn.
Can you mention the highest natural Highpoint and lowest natural lowpoint in each state video in the future
Interesting history of New York. Living in NYC as a kid it was weird explaining the boros to out of staters.
