“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NIV‬ ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame” Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭19:10‬ ‭ God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless you all! 🕊💞

I am not even american. I have never lived in the US. I have only been to east coast states, and apart from Connecticut I have never been in a state for more than a week or two. Yet Louisiana and New Orleans have always been my favorite american state and city for some reason. They have such an interesting history and culture when compared to the rest of the country. It´s kind of sad to see Louisiana loosing its relevancy. If the US had good city planning and invested in large engineering projects New Orleans could easily be America´s largest city.

I remember how shocked I was the first time I went to New Orleans and I when I saw the bayou houses where they could only transport by boat. It was so cool to see people who live a completely different lifestyle. Need to get back to New Orleans!

Our new state tourism motto - "Louisiana, It's A Trip!". Seriously.

Things you could have mentioned about Shreveport/Bossier: - Has the state's oldest college/university in Centenary College of Louisiana which is also the oldest college west of the Mississippi - Despite being in the far corner of the state, it hosts the Louisiana State Fair each year - During Reconstruction, the NW parishes attempted to secede to Texas. And if not for an untimely outbreak of yellow fever, it might have succeeded. - In the early 20th century, many musicians including Elvis got their start on The Louisiana Hayride, a production held by local radio station KWKH.

Kyle, it took me a long time to get to spend any time in LA, though I passed through round trip decades ago. It's as you say--a very unique state, in culture, cuisine, language, and probably a few other areas as well. Thanks for a very well done review.

I"m from Gonzales moved to Georgia about 30 years ago you gave me some insights of the state thank you

As someone born and raised in the state, you did a great job. The level of research must have been immense.

Howdy Kyle! We watch (almost) all of your videos and this one was great, not unlike your other videos. Just wanted to give a shout out on this particular video, as we live about 2km (1'ish miles) from a major Acadian expulsion site in 1755. The Acadians are important people in our local history, and we often feel a connection to Louisiana here in Nova Scotia. Happy you mentioned us (Nova Scotia) in this video. Cheers!

I was born in Alexandria, right in the middle of the state My father's ancestors came straight from France and settled in Avoyalles parish. My mother's side of the family was from North and West/Central LA, so I have relatives in both halves of the state. Two very different cultures with really different kinds of food, so I had the best of both worlds.

I worked in Houston for six years. Many of the employees in our office were from Louisiana (mostly the Lafayette area). Really nice people! Enjoyed their friendship. On an unrelated topic, I heard at one point many years ago that the highest point in Louisiana (mentioned in this video) was so heavily wooded that you could not tell that it was the most "elevated" spot int this state.
