What is the least historically interesting US state?

>>2200904
South Dakota?

t. former South Dakotan

Wisconsin
t. Wisconsin

Go to the middle and head north, it gets more and more irrelevant.

Idaho

Montana

Wyoming

Literally who: the state

Honestly most of the ones that don't touch the pacific or weren't part of the "wild west" are all pretty equally boring

>>2200917

>Aztalan/ancient Indian mound builders
>Charles Langlade

Nice false flag, minnesota.

>>2200909
At least South Dakota has tribez and shiet

>>2200904
All of them because indians did nothing of worth and have no history besides HUNTING BUFFALO and EATING PILGRIM MEAT.

>>2200904
From a British standpoint they're all fucking boring

Delaware

West Virginia

>>2200904

We have to focus on the mountain time - rockies states because they were added to the union almost as afterthoughts, and they have far and away the lowest densities, and are the least eventful places in the union. this is part of their charm of course.

Oklahoma is marginally interesting in that it was the destination of a large forced indian removal, and was also the site of the oklahoma city bombings, a fairly important terrorist event.

Even Wyoming is marginally interesting for the sheer dearth of people, and also due to early women's suffrage (amazingly). Wyoming is also the birthplace of abstract painter Jackson Pollock, and former vice president Dick Cheney. All this isn't much, but it's something.

South Dakota has the Sioux, the Mount Rushmore meme (of course), and is now host to some of the most extremely poor counties in the Union (indian reservations). This holds some historical interest.

Utah has mormons, so that's rather important.

I say that the real answer is something like Montana, Idaho, North Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, or maaaaybe Iowa.

>>2200952

Don't forget Ed Gein, Jeffrey Dahmer, and the cheese industry. See also the monograph "Wisconsin Death Trip", comprised entirely of reproductions of strange events from around the state, as reported in a Black River Falls newspaper c. 1890.

Wisconsin is a fairly interesting state, and I say that as a Minnesotan who hates the Packers.

California. Literally nothing of significance has ever happened here.

Idaho Wyoming and Montana were pretty important for unions back in the day. Wyoming also has Yellowstone which is a plus in my eyes. I want to say nevada but we have the lakemead/boulder damn and the test site. Plus the Donner party lol
Honestly I'd have to say Iowa.

>>2201166
I forgot nevada is also the gold standard of gerrymandering.

>>2200904
Delaware. It's the size of a city and doesn't even have an airport. Quickly, how much do you know about Delaware?

>>2201148
I say otherwise because they have been a state literally the longest and have jack all to show for it.

>>2201153
While California is the most economically relevant I can't really think of anything historically important that happened there other than the '49 gold rush. I'm not counting memeshit like Hollywood.

>>2201233
That's because you don't live 50 years in the future, where what's been happening in Silicon Valley the last few decades is seen as one of the most momentous moments in US history.

Also, if you're going to judge historical events, you have to at least consider the amount of time history has even existed in a given place. It's apples and oranges comparing California and New York simply because of age.

Delaware was the very first state to ratify the US constitution, is among the original 13, is known for being a place where legal fictions go to incorporate, and is home to Du Pont last I checked. Delaware is in the immediate vicinity of Pennsylvania, Virginia and D.C. and thus has automatic historical importance by mere osmosis alone.

True, Delaware is a Literally Who, but it's in the part of the country that has been historically relevant. Wyoming and Idaho are not.

>>2201233

You don't get to discount the history that you don't like in order to make your point. The history of hollywood is yet a history that has been terribly important to world culture over the past century, and no thinking person can gainsay this, however distasteful they (you) may reasonably find the reality to be.

On the contrary, repetition of memes and metaphors shape thought in culture. Hollywood memes are not innocuous garbage that fail to influence "real" culture of race, nationality, marxism, etc. They through their brute force of repetition and volume necessarily inflict themselves upon, and in so doing alter thought, this basic idea of cultural manipulation being intensified these days in attempting to influence political opinion whether by shilling on this website, say, or elsewhere.

Nor is it valid for you to reply "oh huh tell me an anecdote of a movie in real culture." Apollo astronauts are on record as having cracked a joke about the monolith during a flyby, as one example. People reach out to narratives to make sense of the world, and hollywood is a major font of those ideas and metaphors, reflected back either in occasionally a good movie, or more often garbage. The real point being that much as you would like to dismiss its reach (as as right as that wish of yours might be), you simply can't and be taken seriously.

This is a good post, since you're supporting and dovetailing my other agument. We're ganging up on this guy to BTFO of him now.

>>2202879

You're digging yourself even deeper into the hole that the other good anon laid for you, because now you are obliged to pretend that the commies are somehow meaningfully separate from leftist hollywood, etc.

When of course experience has shown that it is all of it now a Cathedral, to use a genuinely useful alt-right metaphor, which encompasses the proper political leftist class (which includes party democrats and literal communists influencing local policy alike), the entertainment industry, and the mainstream journalism and news media. These three pillars collude and conspire for leftist goals, and the evidence of this is so insuperable and overwhelming, especially by way of object-lesson of the past year's events, that to deny it is to again prove that you do not understand what you are talking about. Your project is necessarily a failed reductionism of some particular "communists" away from Hollywood...

/which is rendered most stupid of all by the fact that there were literal communisty party members working infamously in Hollywood about sixty years ago, which everyone and above all you should know/. God damn you're an idiot.

Ha, no. Only state to secede successfully from another state. Location of last battle of revolutionary war. Chuck Yeager first man to break sound barrier. Jerry West literally the NBA logo.

New Hampshire. There is only one thing I know about New Hampshire; it's Vermont's slightly more retarded cousin. There is absolutely nothing else worthy of note about the state, because I don't think you can get maple syrup from it the way it comes from Vermont.

Weird question OP. Everything past the Mississippi River until you hit the west coast is pretty uninteresting except for Texas and maybe Louisiana.

Most interesting state historically is tied between Pennsylvania and Virginia. They are basically the father and mother of all other states and maybe even the source for the Democat/Republican divide in American politics despite Jackson and Lincoln both being born in other states. Philadelphia was the first major American city and Virginia was the first major rural power in America.

Why are so few people answering North Dakota? They have to pay people hundreds of thousands of dollars to come work on the oil fields because the place is so flat and boring. North Dakota's other industry is sitting around and waiting for the president to launch a nuke. They don't even have a president-shaped mountain.

Being the least interesting state is itself a point of interest. Therefore, there is no least interesting state.
