#kansas and #nebraska
Two bordering states that I am VERY familiar with in these United States. Both can trace their beginnings to the Kansas-Nebraska Act. I guess you can call this whole video the Kansas Nebraska Act amirite? Ha ha!
Both have been settled by humans for thousands of years. Some were nomadic, others were sedentary. By the time Europeans got to the area in the 1500s and 1600s, prominent American Indian nations in modern-day Kansas included the Arapaho, Cheyenne, Comanche, Kansa, Kiowa, Osage, Pawnee, and Wichita. Wait, the Kansa? Yeah, Kansas is named after the Kansa Indians, for real. Prominent American Indian tribes in modern-day Nebraska included also the Cheyenne and Pawnee, but additionally the Lakota, Omaha, Otoe, and Ponca. Nebraska is named after the Otoe Indian word Nebrathka, which means “flat water,” in reference to the Platte River, which runs through the state. As you probably already guessed by now, the biggest cities in both states today, Wichita and Omaha, are both named after the Indian tribes.
Anyway, in 1541, a Spanish conquistador named Francisco Vásquez de Coronado and his expedition were the first Europeans to reach modern-day Kansas. Modern-day Nebraska wasn’t really checked out by Europeans much until the 1700s. The French claimed it. In 1714, Etienne de Bourgmont and his crew checked it out for the first time.
Both the French and Spanish did not settle modern-day Kansas, but the French did do some trading along the Missouri River, which led to a trading post in modern-day Nebraska.
The future states both completely were part of the Louisiana Purchase. Yep, the United States bought them in 1803. The next year, Lewis and Clark checked both out on their famous expedition. In 1806, Zebulon Pike’s expedition passed through Kansas and assumed the area was too dry for farming. Thanks to him and particularly a dude named Stephen Long, who checked out both modern-day Kansas and modern-day Nebraska in 1820, the western part of the Great Plains mistakenly got called the Great American Desert. Later on, when the American government was forcing American Indians off their lands back east and needed a place to relocate them, they were like, let’s send them off to the crappy land we can’t farm out in the Great American Desert?
This was the most personal Compared episode I've ever made.
So which state should I move to next? Er, I mean, which states should I compare next? And don't even bother arguing that Kansas is better than Nebraska or that Nebraska is better than Kansas. It's pretty clear that they are EXACTLY EVEN.
Oh, and don't forget to support my sponsor: Civil War: War and Peace: warandpeace.onelink.me/g1tb/56a28d73
Alaska and Hawaii
West Virginia and Virginia maybe
Caleb se7en he already did that
san Antonio and Austin Texas compared would be a nice video
Montana and Idaho, they have similar populations, similar area, are bordering and not many people know about them.
The difference is that in Kansas when your house gets sucked up by a tornado you get transported to a magical land while in Nebraska you just die.
This is true. I saw it in a documentary once.
@@iammrbeat is it the same documentary that tested the chemical reaction between witches and water?
@Samuel Sweetmann just.... just stop
I am a nebraskan. This is a fact.
@Samuel Sweetmann that's a joke in every state
I live in Nebraska. My corner of the world is so seldom talked about that it really feels special seeing videos like this.
same here, just a mention of Nebraska make me feel happy
♥️ Nebraska
Same I ❤️ Nebraska
I'm from kansas and I felt this ❤ we may be in the heartland but we are so overlooked
I feel you💯
Did you know on football day the third most populated city in Nebraska is the football stadium
Why yes I did. Even when the Huskers are having "off" years!
@@iammrbeat Which is every year for the past 20 years
As an LA local this blows my mind. When I was younger I met someone from Nebraska who first introduced me to this fact.
@@paintkiller93
Here's another little nugget: the University of Nebraska has sold out every home football game it has played since 1962.
It is the longest sellout streak in major American sports (both college and professional) by 15 years.
Sounds like Green Bay when the packers play.
Quick side note: Kool-Aid was invented in Hastings, Nebraska
Lawerence Kansas is the hometown of basketball.
Actually the person who made it in Hastings worked with someone in Cambridge on it. The person in Cambridge actually creates it, but let the other guy take the recipe and do whatever he wanted with it.
@@sirsqat9341 It started in Massachusetts but was rapidly adopted in Kansas.
Jason Kraus you have a source that provides this?
Jason Kraus I just search up “where was basketball invented” and can only find Lawerence, KS.
I was hoping for Nebraska's true enemy: Iowa, but this was a pleasant surprise
Haha yes!!!
Iowa wins btw ;)
@@isparkys9604 Wrong. To me, a Nebraskan, Iowa is a pretty good state and not an enemy of Nebraska. They had good healthcare there.
Julius Caesar true honestly at our core we’re brothers what we should really be worried about is the crazy derecho that just went through
I guess I'm an old guy. ALWAYS able to get up for the Okies. Buffs too since I have lived In Colorado since 1974. Playing Iowa is kinda fun (if disappointing for the last six years) but playing Rutgers and Maryland is just weird.
They are very similar yet very different. Kansas is little more edgy while Nebraska is more chill. Kansas *practically* invented Sunflowers while Nebraska created Arbor Day. They may occasionally throw insults and jokes, but at the end of the day when a Kansa and Nebraska meet they instantly click. They just get each other like nobody else. Kansas and Nebraska go together like Czech Republic & Slovakia, or Rwanda & Burundi.
I concur;
Spent years from ~1955 to 1963 in Hutch-there is an "edginess" though have to know what to look for
@@ChiDraconis
Sorry you had to live in Hutch for so long lol.
I don't know about all that I am from northeast Kansas (Brown County) and we were always feuding with South East Nebraska Richardson County. Hiawatha vs Fall City
@@NNegativeCreep Actually-given the current situation as it is now-I would just as soon move back; At least I could go where I choose;
@@NNegativeCreep I'm from Hutch, I still live in hutch, I dont know about the edginess but I know there is nothing to do here
Kudos to Nebraska for planting manmade forests to help the environment!
They have Team Trees before it was even cool. Hell, even the Arbor Day Foundation cooperated with Mr Beast in the Team Trees project.
A good chunk of Halsey burned this summer.
Unfortunately they planted eastern red cedar. Junk trees that can drink a Russian sailor under the table. We are working on getting rid of them outside the forest, but I think i heard it was near 100 years at the current rate of burning to get rid of them.
FUN FACT: Lebanon, Kansas is called the "Heart of America" due to its location being close to the geographic center of the lower 48.
Poooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooopoopooooooooop
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart
Fun Fact... Kanas is borrrrring. A tornado is literally the most exciting thing that can happen in Kansas
@@fresatx SALT!
@@jz.7650 Mande, Pepe?
The interesting thing is that a lot of people call the Great Plains states (The Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma) part of the Midwest but I have always thought of the Great Plains as its own part of the country
Sammy K. Oklahoma is the south but I get that I always felt like the dakotas Nebraska and Kansas don’t relate to the Midwest (from Illinois here)
Yeah so do u agree with me about that
Ya know that feels right, actually; it's like a unique blend of Midwest and Southwest and a unique central vibe all our own!
I live in Kansas... grew up in Minnesota... I’ve always considered it all the Midwest and so does everyone else who lives here. 🤷♀️
I always thought kansas and Nebraska
were very similar to Northern Oklahoma.
As a Nebraskan, I love being in flyover country and hope everyone just keeps flying over.
I think one of the funny parts of this is that pretty much any Kansas native watching this video probably knows where the majority of those towns are you mention
Oh 100%💀
Absolutely 100%. I was born in Overland Park, Wichita is a frequent visit, I dated a chick from Hutchinson once. Manhattan sucks, Basehor barely exists (my whole maternal side of family is from Bonner Springs), plus who from KS hasn't gotten shitty drunk in Lawrence, most likely at a house party, the dorms, or downtown Mass. Now that I think of it though, Manhattan too xD
and the moral of the story is if you live in Miami, Johnson, or Wyandotte counties, move to Jackson before you end up in jail for really petty bullshit
Yeah I live 15 mins from Wichita 😂
@@wglroyal 20 min from Manhattan 🤙🏻
That’s right!
Im quite pumped for a Maryland vs Virginia thanks Mr beat
I live in maryland
Judging by all the likes, I guess I have to compare the two. :D
@@iammrbeat yayyy keep it up Mr beat God bless jesus loves you stay safe
Mr. Beat Wouldn’t Maryland vs Delaware make more sense? Idk really I’ve only ever been to Maryland.
How about the DMV Dc Maryland and Virginia
Nebraska has a replica of Stonehenge made of old cars called Carhenge
Been there - just outside Alliance, NE. Also have visited TRUCHHENGE in the Topeka, KS, area as well (though Carhenge is way more interesting/fun to visit).
Kansas has the world's largest ball of twine, which I think is just as odd lol
That’s really funny
he showed a picture of it
I've been there
I give you points Mr. Beat for appreciating the Sandhills. One of the most underappreciated areas in the state.
Agree!
& the Annual Crane Migration!
Agreed! Just bought some Sandhill plum jelly today!
Some awesome golf courses there.
I'm loving these series, please do Montana vs Idaho or Alaska vs Hawaii
Yes and yes, both coming this fall. And glad you dig them!
@@iammrbeat Also for country comparation please Slovakia and Slovenia I'm looking forward for that
Oh shet @Mr. Beat actually did it
I used to live in Colorado and drove back and forth between there and my hometown of Indianapolis. It’s amazing how much the landscape changes from east to west in Kansas and Nebraska. Quite beautiful
Fun fact.
• The first Christian to be Martyred in the USA was in Kansas.
• The Spanish Flu can be traced back to Kansas.
Look it up.
I was going to say about how the great flu pandemic started here in Kansas… We are certainly known for a lot of really crazy weird stuff Civil War, the flu pandemic, tornadoes, various serial killers, tornadoes, protesters, unfortunately Westborough Baptist Church… The only time you heard anything good about Kansas is when it is March madness with basketball going on all over the place
XD
@@BenFoldsFan421 spanish flu originated in China
The Spanish walked across Kansas near Stirling Ks.
I used to deliver to Dollar General stores in both states. I love them both, but I like Kansas more.
I got to go to Lawrence one year and watch a KU football game. They were beating Texas A&M the whole game and lost in the last two minutes. It was still fun.
The trucking company I work for now is based in Lincoln. A previous company I worked for was based in Omaha.
I didn't know you drove big trucks! I assume you've seen just about every part of the country by now? Also, yeah, about KU football...um....they tend to do that losing thing quite a bit. :(
Mr. Beat Yes. I’ve been everywhere, man 🤣
KU did go to the Orange Bowl one year. That was a good season 😊
@@semipenguin Oh yes, the best season ever. Bring Mangino back! haha
Hi Matt!
@@iammrbeat K s u Wildcats! K s u Wildcats!!! Kkkkkkkk ssssssss UUUuuuuuuu WILDCATS! 😄😄
Thank you for covering my home state of Nebraska!
I live in there too
what cuty do you live in? im in kearney rn
@@vulsipide510i lived in Kearney, now in Omaha.
Kearney is booming too and have many fond memories!
My cousin almost fell asleep while driving in Kansas, he said got bored of seeing the plains...
You can take a large jug of very hot picante sauce and eat it by the spoonful to stimulate your senses and later endure the stomach cramps. Keeps you from drifting off.
The western most parts of kansas are actually pretty interesting because they rise in elevation by a couple thousand feet due to being so close to colorado. The high plains are very hilly
@@blank-hv8xt The Flint Hills in spring with thunderstorms rolling across them is pretty impressive and the blizzards west of them are epic. The flocks of migrating birds darkening the sky in the fall is impressive. The land is simply a blank canvas to make the experience more dramatic.
wow go back to ny
@@randallshuck2976 normal people smoke meth or crack.
Good video!!! As a BUCKEYE living in Kansas for the past 25+ years due to military stuff, LOVE both Kansas & Nebraska. Been all over both states and seen things that many native Kansans/Nebraskans NEVER seen or heard off. Just love exploring each state. Have traveled both the Santa Fe & Oregon/California/Mormon Trails, as well as, the Pony Express & Lewis & Clark Trails. Some awesome UNEXPECTED lands features in both states the further west you travel - again, not many natives of each state really know/care about.
I am glad someone from Ohio likes our state, most people around the country just make fun of us
Thanks for showing Wichita. We often feel like the neglected poor relations compared to the Johnson/Douglas/Shawnee triumvirate.
Wichita is neglected?! 😆😆😆
The 103 counties not named Johnson or Sedgwick are all laughing at that!!!
So true! I live by Wichita (Andover) but most family lives in Humbolt and Chanute. Fun to hear him through the whole video and then discover we probably have run into each other at some point! Great video!
Meanwhile, Manhattan is lucky just to even get a mention.
@@pnewkirkdds I feel that, the rest of the state doesn't get enough attention besides those two stupid counties.
Wabaunsee County reppin
I appreciate you too, Mr. Beat! I've learned more from you than my many years of history class in school, combined! Keep up the good work!
Great video! I'm a Kansan as well and have lived in or around Lawrence my whole life. I actually helped with the cleanup in Greensburg after the tornado and it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. It's incredible seeing how well the town is doing now after how absolutely devastated it was. Most of the town was simply rubble and there wasn't a tree left standing that wasn't a broken twisted mess.
Thank you! Yeah, I was living in Nebraska when that tornado hit. My dad went to help with the cleanup, though. It still just amazes me not only how devastating it was, but how the town recovered so well. Oh, and hey neighbor!
Lawrence Kansas is honestly such a great place.
Driving through Hutchinson, on KS 61 right now...
I did type this while parked on the shoulder....
I live in Hutchinson👌
Grew up in Wichita. Grandmother lived in hutch, hutch is such a shit hole. Lol
I drive through Hutchinson occasionally, it seems like a nice little town, I've never spent any time there so I don't know what it's like to live there. I always think of people who like peace and quiet would find Hutchinson inviting...
parked, yeah right lol.
@@ragnarlothbrok938 it’s gone downhill in the past 15+ years unfortunately.
D.C. compared with Baltimore
St. Louis compared with Kansas City
Jackson, Mississippi compared with New Orleans
Nigeria compared with Ghana
Great suggestions. Thank you!
Baltimore and Philadelphia would probably make for a better comparison. Baltimore is pretty different from D.C. despite it being closer.
I was born in Topeka and currently live in a suburb of Topeka (less than a mile away from Topeka in fact). It makes me happy to see videos covering states like Kansas and Nebraska that many people just forget about. I’ve been to Omaha about 3 times, and overall, Nebraska seems like a pretty nice state. This video has made me learn more about both states!
North Carolina and Virginia compared is a good one
As a North Carolinian I felt North Carolina was more similar to Virginia than to South Carolina (Tobacco, Population, Land area, Swing state).
Multiple folks have suggested this comparison.
@Anvith Kakkera I live in Northern North Carolina and most of my exposure is in Southern Virginia so I can definitely see that. It’s crazy how parts of states can be so different from each other!
@@anvithkakkera7196 New Jersey is a frat house. Nova is federal government housing + service
@@anvithkakkera7196 damn I didn't even know that
I would love to visit Kansas or Nebraska one day. Any state that was the birthplace of Pizza Hut is a state I like! Plus, a lot of my friends are Nebraska fans in football, and I know someone who played for them, so I feel like I should take the pilgrimage.
They get a bad rap, but they're both amazing places!
Do you like the outdoors? I can tell you a couple of cool places in both states you could check out someday.
I find it dumb that we started White Castle but there are none left in Kansas anymore.
@@keeganharris186 ha
@@keeganharris186 man when I was a little kid there was a small white castle in Olathe KS where I lived! I was so excited because it actually looked like a castle. I would beg my parents to drive by it all the time for some reason lol. Unfortunetly they tore it down and out a quick trip there.
Hooray!!! Nebraska is finally getting some recognition!!! Hello from Omaha everybody!!!😁👌
I loved living in Omaha.
Hello!
I'm from Omaha too man I'm also excited that our state is finally getting some recognition!!!!💯
Nice job, Mr. Beat! This was a great refresher of my 7th grade Kansas history class (40 yrs ago)
Kansas native here. While we do have our rivalries, we will still always raise an index finger from our steering wheels in greeting as we pass our neighbors to the north.
I'm surprised you didn't mention how the legend of "Wild Bill" Hickok started in Western Kansas.
But we do hate Missouri waayy more.
I actually feel like Nebraska and Kansas would be pretty good “friends”. We like South Dakota too. Iowa and Missouri however...
@@iammrbeat Naturally
Not only Wild Bill Hickok, who was sherif of Abilene, but also Wyatt Earp who was sheriff of Wichita and Marshall in Dodge City, which included Doc Holiday and Bat Masterson, before Earp and Holiday gained immortality in Tombstone. Plus Calamity Jane, John Brown, and the story of the Beecher Bibles is true.
I was born & raised in Fremont, NE (one hour north of Omaha), spent 4 years in college in Sioux Falls, SD, went back to Fremont/Omaha for 4 years, & have spent the last 15 years in Topeka after marrying a native Topekan (Washburn Rural HS) who’s dad, ironically, is from MY HOME TOWN, FREMONT! Surprisingly, when I lived in Sioux Falls, I took MORE HEAT for being a Husker fan from the Minnesota fans (Reminder: BEFORE Nebraska joined the Big Ten, the last time Minnesota played Nebraska was 1990!) than I do NOW from the KU/KSU fans!
Hey Beat!
Thanks for replying and for taking my suggestion, keep up the good work!
Always love a new Mr. Beat video. Thanks mr. Beat, you’re fantastic.
I would love a Mankato, KS vs Mankato, MN video. I know they’re small cities, but I’m from one of them.
Love enjoys Mr. Beat video when he do state comparison!!!!
When I get back from deployment I’m getting myself a Runza. Swing through Papillion next time you’re at UNO Mr. Beat.
I have a great homemade Runza recipe...
@Marceline Ingot same. Still is delicious. Think I know what were having this weekend. YUM!!!
Aye I live in Ralston which just like Papillion is basically a suburb of Omaha. I work at the Lowes in Papillion though just saying!!!!
The Runza in Mission shut down a few years ago. :(
The closest thing to bierocks. Unfortunately, Beethoven’s in Paola went out of business a few months ago. :(
LMAO! And I'll give you a "AMEN!" on the Huskers Football my good man. Love the video
Yayyy, tenks mr. Beat for using my suggestion for this episode 😍
"I may not know you, but I appreciate you" this is the most Midwest Nebraska/Kansas outro ever
Keep up the great content ☺️
Ayy he took my recommendation! I’m sure other people also requested it, but I am gonna take credit.
I was looking forward to this video. Two interesting and beautiful states.
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@iammrbeat Yes I did. It was a great video.
I grew up in Augusta too! I love hearing more about the state I live in and its great to hear about it from someone who’s lived there! Great video, I really enjoyed it :)
So cool to see this video and find out I’ve been subscribed to a former Omahan/Nebraskan over this past year. I actually worked for the World-Herald and did a video explainer of the unicameral government. I love your videos and would love to see you do a video over George Norris!
We loved Omaha!
These videos are always the highlight of my day!
Well thank you for the nice comment. That made my day!
I know that lots of famous politicians come from Kansas! Like Dwight Eisenhower, and Bob Dole, and future president Sam Brownback!
The idea of a president Sam Brownback made me physically recoil.🤢
JJ I love your videos but I hope this is a joke.
As a Wichita, Kansas native, I am overjoyed to get sam brownback out of our state! Perhaps another Kansas political celebrity is Mike Pompeo now secretary of state and former CIA chief, who I used to love and represented us well until he played lapdog with Trump. However, I am very proud of Kansas political history! We have always been a place for debate, civil innovation, moderates with passion and common sense (but which of the two American definitions you choose is up to you). But uh, don't visit. Theres not that much to see.
Brownback...you had me laughing out loud there
Kansas has them, but Nebraska has William Jennings Bryan, the founder of American liberalism, as well as the most unique political system in the U.S. (unicamerial, and non-partisan)
I love these videos, thanks Mr. Beat!😁
Glad you dig them, Patrick!
I enjoyed this vid greatly! I grew up on a farm just outside White Cloud, KS. Some of the footage looks familiar!
Disappointed by the lack of mentioning of Kansas (the band)!
Great video, as always!
Mr Beat we appreciate your appreciation and appreciate you right back.
I appreciate that, too.
I love this channel. Thank you.
Haha, a channel I love made by a fellow Kansan! Was just in Greensburg too, thanks for covering it.
Awesome video, talking about your own states. You forgot to mention the band Kansas though. Carry on my wayward son.
We'd be quite keen to see a Washington/Oregon comparison video. The Crockford family (fans from across the pond).
He already did a Washington vs Oregon video
Yep, that was my second Compared video I ever did!
Enjoyed the video--thanks! So much I didn't know about those two states!
You got to learn about my backyards. lol Thanks as always for the encouraging support.
This man is a joy to listen to, very talented and brilliant. I learned a LOT
Nice video! I'm a KSU grad, but my wife is a KU alum, so you're alright with me. 😉
Thank you Chris! Mrs. Beat and I both graduated from KU and met while going there, but then we promptly moved to Manhattan after getting married. :)
@@iammrbeat That's pretty sweet! My wife was a nurse when I was in the hospital, and somehow I convinced her to go on a date with a chicken farmer who had a dozen broken bones... lol! Im pretty sure she just felt sorry for me. 😉
Anyways, cool to find a fellow Kansan on CZcams, there aren't a lot of us. That you make interesting videos, and talk about history is a bonus. Thanks again!
As someone who lives in Kansas and lived outside of Greensburg Kansas when the Greensburg tornado hit, it wasn’t that bad, if you take away the hole town getting destroyed. But it’s just a tornado
I live in primrose, Nebraska and we a park with memorials of tornado victims
As a fellow Kansan I was really surprised to hear you mention basehor. It doesn’t get hardly any recognition compared to tongie. Either way great video, keep it up. Little thing, basehor changed from being in Wyandotte county to Leavenworth county, got a new zip code, and is now 66007. Bond city
Hello from a fellow Topekan haha great video by the way! And a new subscriber!
Please do Calgary and Edmonton compared for cities, and Canada and the USA for countries!!!
Yes, and yes. Heck yeah
I don't know of any cities that hate each other more.
I like living in Kansas, there are some pretty places.
Which city do you live in?
Zerzavy Emporia
I love the quaintness of Kansas, Im from KCK and like driving out to the country side.
Thanks for this vid Mr. Beat! Montana and Idaho will be an interesting next video.
I really appreciate you making a video about my great home state, Nebraska. It's the land that I love and yes, Husker football fans would literally die for their team. Also I'm sorry to hear you lived in Omaha. (Only complaint I have is that the Hallam tornado was not mentioned as it was at one time the largest recorded tornado in the world and wiped out basically the entire town of Hallam)
From what I can tell, Nebraska and Kansas are mostly friends (I guess?) but Nebraska and Iowa have a rivalry
And Kansas and Missouri also have a rivalry
I have a feeling that this would have been *especially* interesting if it would have been a comparison of Kansas, minus Kansas City, and Nebraska, minus Omaha.
You mean Kansas without Wichita? KCK isn’t the most popular city in kansas
@@zerzavy You mean populous city in Kansas. Wichita is about 3 times bigger in population. KCKS is a fraction of KCMO. Kansas has roughly 1 million more people.
@@simon2077 you live in wichita?
lawrence, KS native here! surprised you didn’t mention that basketball was invented here, especially being a KU alum! great video!
Just got the teespring merch Mr beat! Thanks 👍
Awesome thank you! I need to promote those more.
Ya nebraskans will joke about our state being super boring and then we’ll add “at least we’re not kansas”
We say the same thing in Kansas, but add "at least we're not Nebraska"
A J Hey, one thing we can both agree on is at least we’re not Iowa am I right?
SLAMO Sorry but this is factually untrue...
@@sloopfan3706 Yeah that's true lol
The Iowa comment is spot on lol
I live in Nebraska and when he talked about schools I did not expect to see my middle school appear
Born and raised in Kansas but love both states and die-hard Huskers fan...subscribed. Very good video.
Buhler resident looking to study teaching, keep spreading the knowledge Mr. Beat🤘
Stephen Douglas has entered the chat.
Sorry Stephen, you done messed up with that one.
Jeeeeeeewwwww
As a Nebraska guy, Im kinda sad you didn't talk about the 7 tornadoes that ravaged Grand Island in 1980. But great video!
Great video Mr. Beat. History is my favorite subject and this was a very interesting video.
This took me back to my Kansas History class in 8th grade! Great job!
I used to actually teach that. 😆 Thank you!
Another great state comparison from my favorite Midwestern CZcamsr! One minor thing though; it would’ve been nice to mention the breeding grounds of the Sandhills Crane.
What up, y’all? Wichitan here.
Just wanted to say that Wichita “proper” is the 51st most populated city in America-and including our suburbs, our population is even higher at over 644,000 (as of 2018). We are not a small farm town! Please stop assuming that when we visit you!
Wichita is not small, but metro Wichita is still way smaller than just the Kansas side of metro KC. While more than half of the metro of KC is in Missouri, the Kansas side of KC is around a million people.
Loved this episode as I have a lot of family from Nebraska and lived in Chanute! Would you please compare Nevada vs Arizona?
I live about 1 hour from Greensburg. I didn't move here till 2 years ago, but I have been by there plenty of times. They have a building surrounding the worlds deepest hand-dug well, which also commemerates when the town got hit by the Tornado. Pretty cool place!
It's such a cool spot, and it's cheap! If you can work from home, Greensburg is a nice place to live.
How about a Louisiana vs Québec video, even though they're far apart, there are some similarities, and even more differences between the two: French speaking Deep South vs French speaking True North...
I do really like this idea.
Ooooh, this is a good one!
@@iammrbeat I've been fascinated by the French influence & impact on North America for a while now, so I would absolutely love to see this happen.
Very nice! Nebr & Kansas rock! There are a lot of untouched natural beauty in these parts!
Definitely!
I remember learning most of this last year thanks for refreshing my history before school
Chanute, KS native here! Interesting fact: Octave Chanute, civil engineer and avaiation pioneer in which the town was named after, had significant influence on the wright brothers during their journey through avaiation, giving substantial advice to them and publicizing some of their work. Wichita was deemed "The Air Capitol of the World" as well
As a native Texan, I have to remain neutral on the Kansas and Nebraska comparison. I have some relatives who live in both states. I travel throughout the entire U.S., mostly over the road. (No, I am not a truck driver.) It is not unusual for me to crisscross the country. Both the West and East Coasts are heavily populated and congested. It's a pleasure driving through KS (I-70) and NE (I-80), where it's not congested and a whole lot of wide, open spaces. I give both Kansas and Nebraska a thumbs up. Now, that should make my relatives happy with me.
They're basically like Texas, without the desert, mild winters, palm trees, and Gulf Coast.
I’d rather be in the land of Oz than Kansas
Oz is no place like home
But Kansas is great we have like a lot of wheat and wind power, heck we even have a whole THREE places that qualify as cities.
Bhaaa I am from Indiana and I feel sorry for Kansas residents

Hello from Ellis (near Hays)
Hi from Derby (near Wichita)
This popped up for me, not sure why probably because I live in Kansas. I remember reading about the Kansas and Nebraska act in middle school, it’s pretty interesting. Thanks for the refresher

Ohio and Pennsylvania, or Ohio and Michigan should be your next compared states.
@Brandon C. The crazy thing is, I currently live in Texas & I don't like living there, I actually wanna move to Ohio, I've got family members who live in the real nice suburbs of Cleveland. I can't stand living in the sun belt, it's just way too hot in the summer & I'm just not in to the whole Texas thing even though everybody loves it there. I don't mind snow & I enjoy getting to do winter activities & I wanna go somewhere where it's not 90+ degrees for 4 straight months. So call me crazy, but I wanna get out of the sun belt & wanna move to the rest belt (Although I don't like to call it that).
Thank you very much for this informative video on the great states of Kansas and Nebraska, Mr. Beat! Me and my family are actually planning on relocating from Washington State to Nebraska. We've found a house in Lincoln, that we really like. :-)
Lincoln is a great place to live in. I lived there the last 20 years of my lifelong residency in Nebraska before relocating to Portland, OR. I still come here twice a year to see my family. I love the wide open spaces and beautiful sunsets!
@@sallykirby4907 Thank you very much for your reply, ma'am! 🙂Me and my wife are still looking for houses there.
Damn this makes me wanna visit my family in Nebraska! Maybe next do Michigan and Minnesota? As a michigander i know its highly contested who has more lakes. On top of that we're both connected in the Upper peninsula so we're always exploring each others states. Lots of cool nature, history and culture too. Would love to see your take on my home state!
Love your videos , from India 💕🇮🇳
Well thank you so much Vijay!
There’s lots of friendly and beautiful women in Nebraska; America’s best-kept secret.
Awe thanks! It’s the Runzas!
Don't lie, the girls aren't any prettier there than they are here.
I feel like Midwest in general got beautiful women that the rest of nation is slept on , I’m from Minnesota and it beautiful girls here but I’ve been to every state in the Midwest and seen many beautiful girls Addis’s the Midwest nation
As a native Nebraskan I really appreciate this video
Keep up the good work
I used to live in Fort Leavenworth KS and I fell so special seeing this video.
