new yorkers were pretty rabid about vermont’s land too back then 😭😭 to the point that vermont almost joined canada before joining the us after NY chilled out lmfao

@@user-rb4cj7mb8f New York and New Hampshire, meanwhile Massachusetts wasn’t interested.

Didn’t they claim it just to make the Erie Canal? It’d make sense so they could connect all the Great Lakes to Europe but after that there’s no point in owning the Midwest.

It was split bc of the civil war

Joe biden remembers

​@@thasa-thirumanau Technically it was split because the people living there were afraid the civil war might happen in the near future (which it did)

Wait, WHAT

Also Ohio had more land too (It was the Northwest Territory prior to statehood, so it's actually only 9. And if you count 1 or both Dakotas, that number can drop from 8 or 7.

That is only if you include the territories which happened to have the same name. Nobody was serious suggesting making the whole of the Missouri territory one giant state. The the majority of the states were more or less "empty land" before statehood, in that they were thinly populated by native Americans, and granted statehood once they had enough population for plausible self-governance. The 13 colonies are an exception (along with Vermont and Maine), as is Louisiana (which had a French population) and Hawaii. Texas did have an independent existence before statehood, but American settlement started only 25 years before statehood.

11 I think

I believe Nevada is also one of the only states to have GAINED land. It took huge chunks out of the Arizona and Utah territories after the Civil War.

Virginia In 1609: pfff, keep talking youngsters

Yeah

lolololol

It was barely populated in that entire area only 60 thousand people lived until America bought it and settlers started pouring in

i used to rule the world

@@ripvanwinkle7689 Not just 60 Thousand People in general, just 60 Thousand White People. There were still many Tribes of Native Americans that operated and traded/feuded with the French, Spanish and later Americans there.

Neither of those states were directly descended from the Dakota Territory though. You can easily claim that something like the Jefferson Territory eventually became Colorado, but since you can’t claim that the Dakota territory didn’t become either of the states individually, I don’t think it would count.

The dakota territory doesn't count

@@RandomVidsforthought why bother showing unrecognized territories then? Despite that Dakota Territory was a recognized organized and incorporated territory.

@@MrMackievelli North and south dakota didn't directly descend from the dakota territory

@@RandomVidsforthought www.ndstudies.gov/gr8/content/unit-iii-waves-development-1861-1920/lesson-2-making-living/topic-1-territory-dakota/section-1-dakota-territory It became an organized territory on March 2, 1861. Upon creation, Dakota Territory included much of present-day Montana and Wyoming as well as all of present-day North Dakota and South Dakota and a small portion of present-day Nebraska.[6] President Lincoln appointed Dakota Territory's first governor, William Jayne, who was Lincoln's old friend and neighbor from Springfield, Illinois.[7]

New Jersey actually had more land for a short amount of time

they had a small strip of land in new york whenever the scottish and english parts of the state merged.

Uhh no? Louisiana was given to the Spanish and they control it for sizeable amount of time(40 years) but as far as i knew both Louisiana and Florida was a part of Viceroyalty of New Granada(both had separate administration afaik), in which the capital was Mexico City. Although suffice to say that the Viceroyalty is too huge and they need to be managed by a Captaincy-General in order to decentralize it and making the administration simpler.

Not really

the spanish forts in north carolina didn't last long either. The natives rose up and destroyed them. You could say thats the other lost colony in north carolina thats not so well known

@@desertfox195 I see your point. There really actually wasn't an Ohio territory, but the first comment was fair in putting Ohio for its part in that. Because it wasn't shown in the vid.

Are you talking about the territory in Canada?

@@sandyred1140 No. There was a territory before Ohio became a state. In 1800, it was split into Indiana Territory and Northwest Territory and 3 years later Ohio became a state. Edits: states became state. 180” to 1800.

Well: Delaware could’ve included the former lands of the Delaware River Tribe, which included parts of Pennsylvania and Maryland. New Jersey claimed Staten Island and parts of Pennsylvania G&S could’ve chosen to give either one of the Dakota’s the former Dakota Territory which included lands from Nebraska, Wyoming, Minnesota, the Dakota’s (ofc), and Montana. Ohio could’ve been included as the Northwestern Territory Oklahoma reached its peak with the short-lived Indian Territory. Basically the Missouri Territory without Missouri and Arkansas. West Virginia and/or Virginia both could’ve been given the Virginia Grant Colony, which’s claims reached all the way to California. Wyoming is a perfectly square lake, so idk what you’re even talking about on that.

Growing up in GA, I learned that about my state too. I assume the Carolinas also stretched to the Pacific.

Territories were "admistered" (regularly forgot to do anything with them) by the federal government. Ohio never owned jackshit prior to its statehood.

Technically it actually did cause the capitals of the northwest territory were in ohio and also it was called "the territory northwest of the ohio river"
