How the States Got Their Shapes
Apr 6, 2010We are so familiar with the map of United States, but do we know why our states look the way they do? Every shape on the map tells a great story about our past. Why is California bent? To cling on to gold. Why does Oklahoma have a panhandle? Because of shifting borders for slavery. Why does Missouri have a boot? Because of a massive earthquake. Every state is a puzzle piece ultimately revealing the unique geography, political and social history of America.
