    North Carolina's southern neighbor is South Carolina, although South Carolina isn't all that south, since more than half of it is north of North Carolina's southernmost point, and South Carolina also has a town called North making it North, South Carolina.

  • 2

    South Carolina was the site of the first civil war battle, and the civil war ended up having a total of one battle over in Indiana, where the Indy 500 speedway is, which is so enormous that you could comfortably fit the entire country of the vatican inside it.

  • 3

    It can also fit 400,000 people which is the highest capacity of any sports arena in the world.

  • 4

    Indiana's state beverage is water, while Oregon's is milk. Portland, Oregon is home to the world's smallest park according to the Guinness world records book, mill end park.

  • 5

    Oregon is also one of the few states to not have a sales tax along with New Hampshire, the only state to have no law requiring adults to wear seat belts.

  • 6

    Connecticut Lake, in New Hampshire, is the source of the Connecticut River which is what Connecticut the state is named after.

  • 7

    Hartford, Connecticut's airport, at less than 3 million passengers per year, is the smallest airport in the US to have a direct flight to Europe.

  • 8

    Delaware, on the other hand, certainly doesn't have a direct flight to Europe since its the only state that you can't fly to.

  • 9

    There's not one commercial flight in or out of this tiny state. It's the second smallest state behind Rhode Island which is so small that the entire state grows by 3% during low tide.

  • 10

    Rhode Island's second largest city, Warwick, shares its name with Warwick Pennsylvania, and in Pennsylvania is Centralia where the ground has been on fire since 1962 due to a coal mine fire, and its expected to burn for over 200 years.

  • 11

    Pennsylvania borders Minnesota, well not really, but Pennsylvania Avenue does intersect Minnesota Avenue in DC, and Minnesota is home to the northernmost point in the lower 48.

  • 12

    You see, most of the US-Canada border is defined by the 49th parallel, but a surveying error led to this.

  • 13

    The couple hundred residents of this area, called the Northwest angle, are completely out off from the US, and need to pass into Canada then back into the United states to go to school.

  • 14

    Also in northern Minnesota is Virginia, the town, but Virginia, the state is massive, so massive that Ewing Virigina, is closer to eight other state capitals than it is to its own state capital, Richmond.

  • 15

    Alexandria, Virginia is actually closer to Toronto, Canada, than it is to Ewing, Virginia. Virginia also happens to go farther west than west Virginia.

  • 16

    Virginia is also home to this place, the headquarters of The Teaching Company who run the Great Courses Plus.

    And with that super smooth transition, I do have to thank the Great Courses Plus for sponsoring this video.

    北卡的南部邻居是南卡罗来纳,虽然南卡罗来纳并不是那么南,因为它的一半以上都在北卡罗来纳的最南端以北,而且南卡罗来纳也有一个叫“北,南卡罗来纳”的小镇。

  • 2

    南卡罗来纳是第一次内战的发生地,内战最后只在印第安纳州打了一场仗,印第安纳州有印地500方程式大赛赛道(印第安纳波利斯赛道),它是如此之大,你可以很舒服地把整个梵蒂冈都装进去。

  • 3

    它(印第安纳波利斯赛道)还可以容纳40万人,这是世界上最大的体育场馆。

  • 4

    印第安纳州的州饮料是水,而俄勒冈州的州饮料是牛奶。根据吉尼斯世界纪录,俄勒冈州波特兰市拥有世界上最小的公园——磨坊尽头公园(约0.29平米的花池)。

  • 5

    俄勒冈州也是少数几个没有销售税的州之一,还有新罕布什尔州,是唯一一个没有法律要求成年人系安全带的州。

  • 6

    康涅狄格湖,它是康涅狄格河的源头,康涅狄格州就是以这条河命名的。

  • 7

    康涅狄格州的哈特福德机场,年客运量不到300万人次,是美国最小的直飞欧洲的机场。

  • 8

    另一方面,特拉华州当然没有直飞欧洲的航班,因为它是唯一一个你不能飞往的州。

  • 9

    没有一架商业航班进出这个小小的州。它是仅次于罗得岛的第二小州,罗得岛是如此之小(4005km²),以至于整个州在退潮时(面积)都会增长3%。

  • 10

    罗得岛州的第二大城市沃里克与宾夕法尼亚州的沃里克同名,宾夕法尼亚州的森特勒利亚自1962年以来,由于煤矿火灾,地面一直在燃烧,预计将燃烧200多年。

  • 11

    宾夕法尼亚州与明尼苏达州接壤,其实并不是,但宾夕法尼亚大道确实与华盛顿特区的明尼苏达大道相交,明尼苏达州是美国48个州中最北端的地方。

  • 12

    你看,美加边界的大部分是由北纬49度划定的,但一个测量错误导致了这一点。

  • 13

    这个地区被称为西北角,有几百名居民与美国完全隔绝,他们需要先进入加拿大,然后再回到美国去上学。

  • 14

    同样在明尼苏达州北部的还有(与弗吉尼亚州重名的)弗吉尼亚镇,但弗吉尼亚州面积很大,如此庞大,以至于弗吉尼亚州(最西部的)尤因镇距离其他八个州的首府比距离自己的州首府里士满更近。

  • 15

    弗吉尼亚州的亚历山大港实际上更接近加拿大的多伦多,而不是弗吉尼亚州的尤因镇。弗吉尼亚州恰好也比西弗吉尼亚州向西延申得更远。

  • 16

    弗吉尼亚也是这个地方的所在地,它是美国教学公司的总部,他们经营着Great Courses Plus平台。

    有了这个超级平稳的过渡,我必须感谢Great Courses Plus赞助这个视频。
