Yep!

Fr I swear every house at least has 1 gun

Thank you!!!! I'm glad you like it!!

If you try to get Texas to do anything there is about a 99% chance he will start a rebellion.

@@Kai-07Lka then there's me living up here with all this cheese and beer

Ahh…Wisconsin

Yeah, I was surprised how little information I could find on them before 1800. It's literally cause Europeans pretty much just ignored the area, they sailed by a couple of times but that was about it. Most of the European powers claimed it but no one actually tried to explore or settle it.

@@Kai-07Lka Those Europeans were at a loss. And thanks for doing your research and getting the history right, I appreciate it as a Washingtonian.

@@statesburgproductions Thanks!! I've been to Washington a couple times, y'all have a really pretty state.

This is what happens when you give an overthinker free time and the endless informational resources of the internet.

@@Kai-07Lka lmao

Thank you!

I hope so!! That's what I'm trying to do!!

Maybe he was, it seems like something he would do.

@@Kai-07LkaI’m imagining Texas’ daddy issues as we speak lol.

I'm glad you learned something!!! Thank you!!!

Thank you!!! That's the goal!!

@@Kai-07Lka you're doing a very good job! Keep it up!❤️✨

Thank you!!! Indiana’s awesome, my family’s originally from there!!

@@Kai-07Lka woow! That’s so cool 😊

I mean, most of it is more history than lore, but yeah, it was still a cool video

The area that is now New Jersey was Split between the Dutch and Swedish, however, the first settlement was made by the Dutch, so he's Dutch, however, he had a lot of Swedish influence growing up. The Dutch were also the first Europeans to land in New Jersey, arriving before Sweden did in the Americas.

Yep! They were originally. I've always found that to be a fun fact to share!!!

@@Kai-07Lka YH

They remember their OG parents, but for a lot of them they have barely any memory cause they were left to fend for themselves. Like Montana, she was left basically immediately and so she barely knows who her father was. She doesn't even know when she was left. So it depends however many memories they had with the parent is what they remember.

We weren't taught about it really much, cause I'm not from Hawaii. My teacher pretty much summed it up as “US annexed it after Cleveland left, cause he wanted the Queen back and Mckinley was elected and agreed to annex it” and all of the US’s annexations and stuff are taught as bad so it's just sorta assumed. Idk, it feels weird to take a moral stance that these guys are good and these guys are bad when we will never know what it's actually like(on older history, with more modern it's easier) and it's so many shades of gray. We can estimate based on human experience, however, that's notoriously unreliable and everyone has their own biases(As my Journalism teacher said: It's impossible for people to write without bias, cause we all see the world through some type of bias). It's important to try and look at history without applying modern-day moral standards (taking the moral high ground) to understand what's going on genuinely. Most of what I know is from personal research. It's very confusing to understand, like with America’s flip-flop on it. Cleveland’s refusal to annex, then the Morgan Report, but also the Blount Report, Hawaiian-born people with American and European ancestry started it, and also a council started it that was put in place forcefully by the British(I think?) Also, the Monarchy trying to expand its individual power(and like absolute monarchies aren't good right?),but also the legislature is super corrupt(Which also isn't good), and the American Minister acted on his own accord(sorta?), and then the 1999 apology. Also like the British and French stuff earlier. Also, there's a ton of bias around the subject cause of all the emotions, and my goal is to just figure out what happened, so that maybe I can make a video on it eventually. Saying it's controversial is the easiest way for me to sum it up until I fully understand the situation and what's going on. I thought the revolution and annexation were different things, my school didn't teach about the revolution, just the Annexation. My goal is to try and find out what happened actually, without bias and stuff, just what happened which is pretty hard honestly. If you have any info on it I'd be super interested to hear. I've been trying to understand the revolution for a while. Also thank you!! Sorry for writing so much, I just get excited when I'm interested in a topic.

@@Kai-07Lka Yeah, I can get that! Opinions here in Hawaii are very negative toward the whole thing for obvious reasons, so obviously someone not from the state won’t have the same biases as us. But yeah! Technically there was a revolution, but that was Hawaiians trying to put the monarchy back into power, as the 7th monarch (King Kalakaua) had basically signed away most of the monarchy’s power due to a group of Hawaii-born (but not Hawaiian) businessmen threatening him and basically replacing all the pro-Hawaii people in his cabinet with their own supporters. He signed a new constitution, which basically gave most of the power to this cabinet. A lot of Hawaiians weren’t happy with this, so they just tried to throw a revolution and get the king to sign a new constitution, giving the monarchy more power, but he refused since he heard they were going to overthrow him and put his sister into power. The annexation happened years later, after he died and that same sister was elected leader (after Kamehameha V died, all Hawaiian monarchs were elected). American businessmen basically other threw the monarchy, and after another attempted revolution, the queen signed away all her power in order to keep the revolutionary’s safe. Idk that much about Queen Liliuokalani, so I might’ve got things wrong, but yeah, generally when people talk about Hawaii having a revolution, their talking about the Hawaiian people revolting against King Kalakaua, as a lot of Hawaiian people saw Hawaii as a puppet state by that point. And yeah, on the monarchy. Like I said before, the first five kings were all related, the first obviously being King Kamehameha, who used guns to very aggressively conquer most of Hawaii, since the other chiefs hadn’t had enough Western contact by that point to acquire them. His next four sons were the rulers, but the bloodline kinda ran out (I’m pretty sure?? My memories a bit fuzzy) and so they began electing monarchs. But around that time, Hawaiian people were losing a lot of power in their own nation, which was why monarchs such as King Kalakaua (who was very passionate about Hawaiian traditions, surprisingly enough) and his sister Queen Liliuokalani wanted to give the monarchy more power. Ultimately they failed, a fact a lot of Hawaii nationalists are still bitter about. Hawaiian history is pretty complicated, since it’s not completely black and white. King Kamehameha partially united Hawaii out of some fear of being conquered by other nations (France, US, British Empire, and Russia). So much of Hawaii’s history is this desperate chase to gain connections and not be conquered like the other Pacific islands. King Kamehameha II abolished the kapu, which was a religious system that was very obviously sexist, but at the same time he burned down Hawaiian religious figures and completely destroyed the whale and sandlewood population. Nowadays Hawaii stands in a weird place, since unlike native Americans, Hawaiians were never put things like reservations, instead they had their culture labeled as barbaric and were replaced as the majority in their own land (Japanese, white and mixed people are the majority here) Things like hula and wayfinding didn’t even make a resurgence till the 80’s, when the Hokulea sailed (the story of the Hokulea is honestly one of my favorite parts of Hawaiian history, if you haven’t heard of it, I strongly recommend learning about it) A lot of people still don’t view the monarchy as bad, since under American control Hawaiians suffered a lot. There’s also this weirdness in Hawaii since a lot of people kind’ve ignore us, except when they want to make a point about American colonization or WW2. Honestly the second I saw Hawaii in your videos I was so happy. People either completely ignore our state or completely stereotype it. (Honestly white Hawaii is so cursed and inaccurate I cringe every time I see it, Hawaii is literally the only state that was never white majority in its entire history) So yeah, as long as you don’t portray her as a literal 3-year old who for some reason hates Japan (Like I said before, Hawaii literally has a majority Japanese population, and most of us are really into Japanese food or media, why do people think there some decade long grudge going on here???) your good. EDIT: Wait, I forgot the one revolution you might’ve been talking about, where the businessmen overthrew Queen Liliuokalani. Yeah, here that’s basically considered the US “annexing” Hawaii, but it technically was a revolution, since the actual annexation was years later. So yeah, there was around 3 revolutions from what I can remember, first when King Kalakaua was almost overthrown by the Hawaiians, the second when businessmen took over Hawaii before annexation and the third when Hawaiians tried to revolt against said businessmen. The monarchy truely lost its power after the third, where, like I said, Queen Liliuokalani signed away her power in order to keep the jailed revolutionary’s safe. (Btw, all “Hawaiians” I talked about were native Hawaiians, since here someone who isn’t native but is from here is called “local” or whatever, while native Hawaiians are only ever called Hawaiian. I kind’ve fluctuated between calling them Hawaiian and native Hawaiian in this comment since I didn’t know if you’d confuse Hawaiian with just people who are from hawaii, since mainlanders tend to do that a lot unfortunately)

However, I have my own biases like I said before. I moved to Hawaii when I was relatively young, Hawaii is my home far more than any other place though, its not like I particularly identify with Germany, where I was born. I also live on Oahu, the most populated and “white” island, so people who are Native or come from different islands might be a lot more passionate about the situation than me.

Thank you!!! That’s really interesting!! One of the big reasons people(or at least why I do that) think of Hawaiians and Native Hawaiians as different things is because that's how it is on the mainland. If you live in Florida you are a Floridan, whether you were born there or not. Native tribes tend to be referred to by their tribe name. Or as Native Floridians(if their tribe is originally from Florida). So that's why I’d use the term Native Hawaiian vs Hawaiian. Also yeah, I've always hated the portrayal of states being stereotyped. My state(Georgia) tends to be stereotyped as racist and stuff and I hate that(yeah there are some jerks but the majority of people don't care). I've tried to make it so it's less stereotyped, like with California and stuff(but the Californian one is hard because the only Californians I've ever met acted just like California’s stereotype). Hawaii is one of the most stereotyped, and I tried to avoid that, I'm glad you think it works!! And I still have biases as a creator as well, I try my best to not let them alter how I portray things. I've read about the sovereignty movement in Hawaii, but I'm not sure how big it actually is, I've read that it's not super popular and mainly supported by super young and extremist Native Hawaiians, and that most people don't care a ton. I just want Hawaii to have a good relationship with the US, other Americans, not hate the Union, and not want to secede. Cause I'm not sure how most Hawaiians actually feel about it. Personally, I'm a pretty patriotic person, so like I just want the states and Americans to like each other, the Union to stick around for a while and people to stop demonizing each other and America. Sorry, I went on a rant there. Thanks for sharing your history it definitely helps lay a better timeline. Quick Note: I view America and the Union as different things from the government. I don't trust the government that much. But I like the Constitution, what America means, the Union, and the people.

@@Kai-07Lka I get not trusting the government, they’ve definitely not made the best choices for our nation at all. I love America but if our presidents keep fucking up I'll probably try to leave. And, the differences in terms obviously makes sense. Native tribes didn't necessarily follow state lines, so unlike here in Hawaii they generally had a different name, especially since the name for Hawaii and it's people came from Hawaiians themselves, so most people here associate them with it. The sovereignty movement here is really small. You obviously hear about it, but most people here are pretty happy as US citizens. If Hawaii became sovereign no one has any idea what'd happen, but most people think it'll end up with a terrible economy like other pacific island nations. Even if the sovereignty movement is small, there's a lot of state or “national“ pride here around Hawaiians. We have the same flag and anthem as the Hawaiian Kingdom, and we love to put our flag up everywhere and sing our anthem after America’s one every time 😭 Btw, thanks for this, I get really amped up about certain parts of history, including Hawaii for obvious reasons, so it was nice to have someone to talk with about it \(^ヮ^)/

Thank you!!!

YESSS

Thanks!!!

Thank you!!

It was part of it, the first ever Pennsylvanian settlement was by the Swedish, but they never expanded as far as the whole of modern-day Pennsylvania.

Thanks!!

Thank you!!

I don't know anything really about Canadian history, but I wouldn't be surprised. A couple of states caused some real confusion around that stuff (The entire west)

@@Kai-07Lka so basically New france would have three kids in what would be "Québec" those would be Trois-Rivières,Montréal and Québec (city),what doesn't make sense is,well if they all led to the same thing does that mean they are all parents of one child

@@Where_is-it New France I wrote had about 6 kids: Arcadia, Hudson Bay, Upper and Lower Louisiana, Canada and Terre-Nueve, and they could all have kids of their own(I'm not sure about Canadian history). It could be they changed names, like New Amsterdam didn't die, he just became New York. Or maybe one or two of them died leaving one to become Quebec(like Connecticut). I'm not sure exactly what happened in Quebec so I'd have to look into what actually happened to see who showed up first, basically.

@@Kai-07Lka yea,Canada is actually divided in three pieces...

@@Where_is-it One of the main reasons I didn't specify how many kids in the video, just highlighted the ones who were important, is because of the fact I don't know much about the other Countries and their Colonial times. I have to do more research into it, like what came first, the sections, or Canada? Were there any other colonial powers? Who settled first? For stuff like that, I mainly researched the states, and the basic timeline, not much in other areas of the Empires. I'd have to do more research to determine anything really.

2:56, fighting Wisconsin

@@Kai-07Lka YEYYYYYYYYYYY

Thank you!!!

I really thought about it as if there was only really one parent, cause that would've gotten really weird and confusing real quick. I figure They have kids in a different way than actual humans like they just sorta show up I guess.

@@Kai-07Lka some other country au’s used magic to create their kids so it’s not as weird as you might think😂

Maybe that's what happened then XD

Some of their parents might be the Native groups which many have not really survived to really know of. To me it be like they are conjured up, sometimes with an aid of another country.

Probably the classical "random woman/man that isn't relevant to the story".

Yeah, the Californian Republic! That's where the flag comes from. I don't know enough about that to decide whether he/she is related to California as a sibling, or if it's just California before she's a state.i need to do a bit more research on that specifically.

@@Kai-07Lka I’d say either present day Cali themselves or a short lived relative, though, I don’t know, don’t know much about the republic either, just know it exists lol

Yep, it’s probably gonna depend on how the republic ended.

@@Kai-07Lka We only lasted 25 days before the US military set up garrisons all around the republic, starting the occupation, later being given statehood in 1850.

As a Texan. I feel sorry for you

Then again, this was at a time where birth control wasn't a thing.
