Only grey could make the civil war look like an argument between two Girl Scout troops
😂😂😂😂
It wasn't?!?
Clearly, you haven't seen anime. They made the Japanese Imperial Navy look lovable.
This realization makes the video more fun to watch.
alice li I thought it was!
I claim Liberty Island as an overseas territory of Arizona
I claim Liberty island as a colony of Colorado
Lol... Clearly Hawaii owns those islands
I’d say they're apart of Canada.

4:59 The US calling France a bitch is my favourite CGP Grey easter egg yet.
"Breaking news: A video from youtuber sensationalist CGP Grey has just sparked a new legal battle between New Jersey and New York over who own The Statue of Liberty's gift shop"
Soon, Soon.
it doesn't matter who owns the statue. whoever owns the gift shop makes money off the statue and whoever owns the statue spends money maintaining the statue
so does the gift shop have New York sales tax or New Jersey sales tax??
@Bruht but multiple parties can profit off a tourist attraction just by being close regardless of actual ownership, a new gift shop potentially means half the profit, though half is better than none.
Wait, let me grab some popcorn.
"Possibly because neither state has noticed"
CGP, Are you trying to start a war with this video...
Maybe
Some men just want to watch the world burn
just so you know that glitch in 4:59 had France say "The F stands for forever you idiot", and America replied "You pretentious bitch I hate you forever" pretty neat huh
Emmanuel Prado eat your cereal
As a New Yorker, i shall go get the guns ready for war.
"You know what would be on the New Jersey side? The gift shop."
Grey... You could have very well plunged all of New England into civil war if any body with actual political power had been watching the video in that moment.
Breaking News: Civil War between New Jersey and New York uprising, the reason is due to question of who own the..... gift shop or liberty island????

Am I missing something?
Are NY and NJ not parts of what's considered "New England"?
@@hhiippiittyy Yeah neither of them are New England. New England is Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.

Cool, ty. I always thought it went all the way down to Pennsylvania.

Ah yes new york logic, the Hudson totally doesn’t flow out to sea like every other river in the world, it just takes a quick detour around Staten Island
logic is contextual when you have the power to state what logic means.

“Who owns the Statue of Liberty?”
Me who is incredibly smart: America

USA=United States
@@CJMapping
The Americas = North America + South America = América
America = USA = Estadounidense
América ≠ America
"América", the continent, does not exist in English. What you're referring to is "The Americas." When speaking English, "America" only refers to the USA.
@@CJMapping yeah fun fact no. Well sort of yes we are both right but your point has no valid ground. In the USA and most of the English world there is seven continents America not being one of them, instead America is known as the country. In parts of the non English world there is 6 (or less) continents America referring one of them instead of the country. Neither is wrong because continents are arbitrary so people can call the USA America all they wish.
@@revilsanjiani146 no the liberty is on land not liberty Island
It technically belongs to france
"Whoop NO! New York would tell the court to get bent!" I love this
I find the image at 3:12 of a little girl flipping off the Supreme Court incredibly entertaining
That moment when you realize cgp grey made a 7.5 minute long video just to start an argument between New York and New Jersey over who owns a gift shop
What would we do without him?! :]

To be fair, it’s a pretty important gift shop
@@mitchlmitten5874 I bet you it's less than 1/10 of NYC's gift shop revenue. As for the State... less than 1/100.
So, where does the money (consequently tax as well) from the gift shop currently go to? Is it NY?
I like to imagine that if the world's oceans all dried up, New Jersey would technically own all of it as part of this pact and become a megastate as the ensuing apocalypse began.
oh my god
@@Luingus my thoughts exactly
New Jersey just figured out how to become the biggest state
“Not so small *NOW,* am I?”

Love how Grey made New Jersey and New York like a sisters’ rivalry
Supreme Court: how did the island get bigger?
New York: idk

New Jersey: uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I mean, how does anything get anything, when it comes down to it, y'know?
I made it 1K
New york: *d i r t*
'England said, "Whatever, your problem now," and left the colonies to 300 years of squabbling.'
Haha that is so like England.
England: am I forgeting something.
New Jersey and New York: my Islands! (Add verbatum for 300 years)
Brits draw bad borders
@Nathaniel Tesfaye that's the point
British Dennis the Menace > the US one :-P .
Not really. The Indians were squabbling over everything before the British came, and resumed as soon as they left.
With all those caste & religious problems, it was inevitable.
It should be noted that NY, especially in the late 1700s/early 1800s, was probably so hell bent on holding on to as much territory as possible because they had just lost Vermont and didn’t want to lose more land (likely especially in fear that the rest of its upstate land could leave).
Your videos are so perfectly hilarious! I love all the little hints and nudges to *major* problems in history. People like you make me want to learn history rather than avoid it :)
"I took some sovereign dirt from my state and put it in the water. So it's technically mine." -China, also New York
Yup seems right
Oh, shoot! That is the same strategy! Except, they drench the sea around those corals and don't technically use their own soil from the Mainland. Still good observation.

I didn't even know that the statue of liberty had ownership. I always just thought it was owned by the state as a whole since you know, the french sorta gave it to them. It never occurred to me exactly what state owned it. Thanks for the video.

This will be the first time a youtube video of stick figures will be used as evidence in the supreme court

It seems like one of his old bideos
I love how much personality these videos give different government bodies, it's such a fun and accessible way to learn history
Yeah! That's what makes me love these videos. I particularly love this video because New York radiates such sassy twin sister energy that's so entertaining.
I was literally thinking that to myself as I was scrolling through the comments; and then I see this comment.
4:42 so eternal, I bet most Americans don’t even know both the French and the Spanish help them win their independence. Probably think/taught they did it all on their own.
I love how France pointed at New Jersey saying “BFFs, France. BFFs, Forever!”, specifically at “Forever!” potentially showing that France is like “Ummmm actually, technically there was one time I was against you we don’t talk about…. But it technically wasn’t my fault….”
Correction: U.S. said it
“New York telling the Supreme Court to get bent”
Seems right
But "blowing them off" just before....sounds psychotic if you ask me.

The gift shop moment made me so ridiculously happy!
I thought by 1832, it was confirmed that the Supreme Court had authority over interstate disputes. De Tocqueville discusses it in his book Democracy in America, which was written 1832-3.
50 years latter......
New Jersey: Since rising sea levels will puts the entire island underwater....everything belongs to us now.
New York: But because The Statue of Liberty still exists above the water, therefore the statue itself is within our borders, despite being federal land
And then New York invades and genocides all the Jerseyites
@@froogletanimations1086 oh yes, the "bigger stick strategy"
I mean if below becomes above is new jersey's then above becomes below should technically still be new york's land under new jersey's water which i don't know if it exists elsewhere or it would be unique to this
NY: Well now I plant 20 million more trees and the water goes back down! Its ours now.
The state borders, rivalries, and antics of the United States are historically absurd and filled with zealous ambition and hardened stubborn will.... but man, does it give America an undeniable charm.
Oh it's definitely not limited to America. Borders are fascinating, there are complications all over the world over them.
I don't think I would call it charm
@@gafeleon9032 What if I told you "Up yaws, ya filth animal, we'ya walking heye! I'll blow ya friggin' head awff!"

"well the LAND came from new york..."

Now that you brought up the gift shop, NJ will bring NY to court once again…

New York in a nutshell
By 1832, New Jersey had enough
Proves that might makes right and will still apply in the future.
4:53 I mean, unless there is really heavy fog that doesn`t allow you to say further than around 400 meters, and unless you strategically plan your route, it is almost impossible to reach the Statue without seeing anything else of the US.
So in conclusion:
Meanings: Location of Statue of Liberty (NY)
Money: Location of Giftshop (NJ)

Amazing animation! I’m learning a lot!
It all comes down to a gift shop... A GIFT SHOP.
The problem now is who wants the gift shop. Because if New Jersey claims the shop, then New York must receive funding through intellectual property and ownership of the statue. If New York claims the shop, well the taxes were on New Jersey land. So either way both parties are on the losing side unless the land was technically federal. Then neither can fight for the gift shop.
Funny thing is: Gift means poison in Germany.
It isn’t a problem because that gift shop sells stuff that is 300% more expensive than what it should be, so both New Yorkers and New Jerseyites? steer clear of it, and let the tourists and immigrants take care of it.
