    California: That other goldrush

    Hawaii: Funny you pick that state out of 50 for “colonialism.”

    Ohio: Home of the buckeye, a useless nut.

    Washington: The federal capitol city, Washington D.C. is on a small bit of land along the Potomac river sandwiched between Virginia and Maryland. It was founded in the late 1700s early in the nation’s history before we laid any claim to the West coast. The state of Washington–the top-left most of the lower 48–was one of the last settled and named. There were several plans drawn up to create several states in the region, and name them Washington, Jefferson, and possibly one or two other founding fathers. Washington was the only one that went through with it.
