America - 400 Years of Territorial Development

[tsywake]

You can watch the evolution of the USA from the beginning, including the formation of each and every county in the country. Its mesmerizing and I've been watching it on loop for the last 20 minutes.

I didn't know BC was ever part of the US. If my understanding from Wiki is right, it was jointly owned by the US and Britain and conceded with the Oregon Treaty. This was from lightly skimming the article so I may be way off.

Guess I never realized Oklahoma wasn't a state until 1907. Reading the first 30 years of Oklahoma history is FUCKED UP.

It was disputed territory, hence President Polk's slogan of 54'40 or fight when trying to fix the boundary.

Assuming that it's showing only the English influence, it's a damn shame that it completely neglects the fact that Jamestown, VA was around two decades before Plymouth Rock. You could also make the argument to include the Lost Colony.
