The states of North America are bigger than most countries in the world and yet still are considered to be "united states". Despite completely different cultures, people, and even their own individual flags we are all just the "united states". If a European for whatever reason asked a question about the "united states" they would have over 50 different completely valid answers. Does this bother anybody else? I don't want the states to be separate countries but the states are too big not to represent themselves, and I feel that because of this there is no culture beyond obesity. For example, I live in Mississippi, and they haven't taught French here in decades despite previously being a prominently French colony, a chunk of New France, it is just America. Please research your state and tell me something about it

>individual flags

So? Cities here had their own Coat of Arms. You all speak the same langauge, eat the same food and move around like locusts for jobs. The East coast has some culture (most of it being knock-off of European culture), the South is atleast distict but the rest of your country is a cultureless hellhole.

There are some states that do in fact have cultures. OP is one of them. You can laugh at anybody else making claims like these though, in most of the US the most you will get in terms of "cultural differences" is people shopping at different grocery store chains or supporting different sports teams.

We speak drastically different though, you could tell which one they came from by accent alone, unless you actually believe there is no difference between England and America. People in California live differently to Alaska, Florida is urbanized while Hawaii's military island Oahu feels like rednecks in shacks on the beach, buildings made out of different materials, different cash crops, we don't buy crab from Mississippi we get them from Maryland. Speaking of we don't even eat the same, Mississippi eats boiled peanuts, crawfish, and "soul food" which is just what normal people eat but deep fried. And many people in Mississippi never even move for their entire lives, we are lazy fucks comparatively to even Alabama. Each state celebrates different holidays differently, no two states enjoy Mardi Gras the same for example and most don't even celebrate it whatsoever. There aren't skyscrapers embedded with religious murals though which is all anyone seems to consider "culture"

Stop pretending anywhere but the South has a culture, it's just not true. I suspect you've never been north before.

I wasn't saying that at all

>Afterward, possession of Fort Ross passed from Sutter through successive private hands and finally to George W. Call. In 1903, the stockade and about 3 acres (12,000 m2) of land were purchased from the Call family by the California Historical Landmarks Commission. Three years later it was turned over to the State of California for preservation and restoration as a state historic monument; since then, the state acquired more of the surrounding land for preservation purposes. California Department of Parks and Recreation as well as many volunteers put extensive efforts into restoration and reconstruction work in the Fort.
I am glad people cared about preserving such a beautiful looking place, it probably would have been the parking lot of Walmart today without that
