The very eldest of "Hill Country" Texans still speak a German dialect as their first language. I had a European History teacher in 2006 whose grandmother hardly spoke English at all, even though both she and her parents had been born and raised in Texas.

Although the language is sadly dying out, the culture has never been better. Texas German and Czech festivals, activities, food, and heritage can be found throughout the Hill Country still and I think it’ll only get stronger in those areas as the language continues to die out. Truly one of the greatest mistakes in US history trying to wash out all German-ness during the world wars as a reactionary policy…but it’s nothing new and I guess we still haven’t learned.

There is a strong Wendish community in Texas.Names like Noack & Zoch are Wendish.Mertz is a Wendish name.The Ricardo's landlord was of Wendish descent.There is a Wendish Museum in Serbin.

What a shame, we could've had Franklinsteins East of Transylvania ☹️

“The Comanche we’re known to be not super welcoming” That’s putting it mildly. Can’t blame them though.

🥰 So great to see the content you make. We went to high school together and I can see how much you’ve grown and this information is dope.

I had hoped Absaroka would have gotten a mention.

Just found your channel today and I'm so enjoying it! The topics, the narration, the animation, the music...all of it! Thanks for doing it - you have a new subscriber!

NICE WORK. You really go out for these videos.

Good video - thank you.

Amazing Video. If you make another video like this, please include the Long Island Statehood movement 😊

I enjoyed this video! Please make another on these almost states.

I have no patrons. Maybe one day. I love this channel.

0:10 You show 15 states here. Maine was part of Massachusetts and Vermont was an independent state weighing it's options.

3:00 in. Except St. Pierre and Miquelon which are still part of France.

It's awesome how you started this channel just to keep your sanity in 2020. I binged on hostorical korean dramas, so yeah, not much. Hope you can also cover the Joseon Dynasty

It's funny that "Adelsverein" literally means "Nobility club". So, who were they shipping over? 😊

I enjoy your videos and always learn something ❣️ I'm curious about what your major was in university? I'm also curious to know if you read (and answer questions asked in,) the comment section? THANK YOU 🙏😍 LIKED and SUBSCRIBED ❣️

Honestly if there wasn't so much misplaced duslike and mistrust of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints then Brigham Young and the early saints would have been remembered as some of the greatest settlers in U.S. history. They made settlements from Canada to Mexico and California to Colorado and even Hawaii. Would have been interesting if Deseret had happened. IMO of course. Very interesting video. I had never heard of many of these.

They wanted a theocratic government, pretty much a no no under the United States of America.

When you master the art of turning old lake beds into irrigated farmland, the American West is your sandbox lol. Some of the great pioneers.

Good music

Re Franklin, you should mention that the reason it needed a 2/3rds majority to become a state was because the U.S. was still operating under the Articles of Confederation. The Constitution only requires a majority (in both Houses of Congess).

There is something about the German culture that mixes well with the Native mind. I have seen very few if any writing that even question anything other than peaceful and accommodating relationships thusly between the red man nor the Bavaria German. I’m both. Lol

Your map of the 13 original colonies shows 15. Maine (blue on the map) was part of Mass (green). Vermont was not a colony nor was it one of the original 13 states.

I had hoped the 92 square foot area of forest land my bother and I (and a friend) had claimed as our independent state in 1997 would have been included…I need to go back and replace the “no trespassing” signed of cardboard. I will put that on my agenda for next week…since I will be busy with that can I get one kind hearted volunteer from the comments section to write a letter to the UN for me?

nice transmission however they cut off my EBT and increased my penalty

0:03 map is off Vermont was not one of the 13 original colonies, it later broke off of new York. Maine originally was also part of Massachusetts untils w820s.

I just realized you graduated later than me. 😳

0:14 What's up with Maine? Did it stop being a state for a minute?

It is weird, however, Maine was actually part of Massachusetts at the earliest time. Mass had to give it independence as part of one of the many compromises that were done to halt slavery.

Mr Beat recommended this channel.

Why didn't they teach this in highschool. Glad i learned this

Great video. It’s Britain or the UK, not England though ✌️

What about British Columbia, and Yukon? It would make an easy connection to Alaska. I know it can't happen, but it was a fantasy of mine.

I live in what would be Transylvania, in the city that is in fact called Louisville. (Imagine running a blood bank here if we were in the state of Transylvania!).... There is a Transylvania University 70 miles east of here in Lexington, Ky. Oddly, however, Lexington is not within the boundaries proposed for the state of Transylvania. Go figure.

I believe very large states such as California and Texas should have been divided into smaller states.

"Not all purposed states throughout American history were accepted" And not all states to BECOME states throughout American history ACCEPT it.

I urge everyone to keep DC from becoming a state.Arlington was a part of DC until it was retroceded to Virginia in 1854.James Kilpatrick suggested doing the same thing with the residential areas .Take the Federal area,make it a ghost city with no actual residenti.Call the new section of Maryland Georgetown.They would have a strong voice in Maryland's policies,Maryland would gain a seat in the House of Representatives.

How are commonwealths different from states?

Ah, if you mean the territorial commonwealths (Puerto Rico🇵🇷 and the Northern Mariana Islands🇲🇵), quite a lot actually! But, in reality they are still just territories with the official name of “Commonwealth of…”. Puerto Rico has some things other U.S. territories don't like their federal court not being considered territorial, meaning the judges server for life like any other federal court instead of a given number of years, not even 🇲🇵 gets this. Among other things that mostly affect 🇵🇷 more than the others. While, states with the official name of commonwealth? There's no difference! It just means a few states decided their official name should be “Commonwealth of…” because they were republican instead of monarchies.

... transporting large NUMBERS on Germans... Please.

I think Latin "trans" means beyond as well as through. Beyond often makes more sense in place names. Transylvania = beyond the forest. Respect.

Britain, not just England.

Too many mid roll ads for a short video

Just as California is not the same as the US, England is not the same as the UK.

As a Mormon, thank you for being respectful about our beliefs.

Interesting stuff! One error stands in need of correcting. There is not, nor has there ever been, a "Mormon Church" The name was attached to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a nickname. Admittedly, "Mormon" is easier to both say and write. It is also a convenient way for detractors to avoid associating the church with Jesus Christ or Christianity.

First of all get your facts straight. There were only twelve colonies in the United States that broke away from England. Weeks before they verified that u.s. colonies were going to become a separate nation, they developed the colony of Delaware. Making it 13 which satisfied the Freemasons because that's a very critical number to the Freemasons and stated that they started with 13 states. There were never 13 colonies. The war was basically over the colonies wanted to secede from the British. And the British didn't want them to, but they seceded anyway and ended up winning the argument over the issue.

Puerto Rico will never be a state and it never should. Puerto Rico is a Latin American island nation with its own history, culture and language. Statehood into the US would be detrimental to both the US and PR financially, culturally and politically. And the US really doesn't want Puerto Rico because it wouldn't be beneficial to either party because Puerto Rico would most likely be a swing state, plus the island is massively in debt, totally corrupt, and has terrible infrastructure. I'm Puerto Rican and I also don't want statehood, most of us dont, don't belive those BS referendums setup by the corrupt statehood party PNP, they only put those up just to bring more people out to vote for there candidates and get them elected.

I'm sorry, but the worst part of what you re doing is speaking a lot and yet providing very little information. Do Better

It’s not pronounced “Apple-lay-cha.” “ It’s “Apple-latcha.” A dead giveaway that you’re not from there is to pronounce it your way.
