Georgia - It’s home to tall mountains and vast swamps. Farm after farm as well as one of the largest cities in the country. Long suffering some of the worst racism in the country, it played a central role in the Civil Rights Movement, and is today a center of Black art, music, and business. Georgia is a unique and fascinating state, and is the fourth place I will talk about in The US Explained, a 56 part series on every state, territory, and federal district in the country.

You left out chickens. Agriculturally the biggest export for Georgia is chickens. Something north of 60% of all the chickens consumed in the US are raised in Georgia.
-
I appreciate that this video talked about the smaller cities rather than just Atlanta
-
You're a real one for shouting out the Atlanta rap scene
-
I've lived in South Georgia my entire life and this is the first time I've seen a video about my state that actually covered the whole state and not just Atlanta. Great job I'm looking forward to more videos so I can learn about other states
-
As a Georgia resident, I absolutely loved this video. Thank you for covering my state so well.
-
Let's go, can't wait for Virginia!
-
This channel deserves more attention.
-
i'm from GA (all my life) and this is easily the most accurate video i have found on my state. very interesting.
-
I'm from the UK and for some reason I'm fascinated with this state. The climate, the people, history, geography is so diverse. I'd like to visit here over any other state.

The University of Georgia in Athens was the first public university in the country. Sherman missed Athens on his way to Savannah so you can still see some quite old (for the U.S.) buildings there. It’s a lovely campus and Athens is a great city to visit!
-
As a foreigner to American culture and history myself, I'm already thoroughly enjoying this series and I look forward to seeing your detailed work in future episodes (especially New Mexico). Keep it up - you deserve far more attention!
-
Georgia's western border is also the line between the central and eastern time zones.
-
A few months ago I was looking at GA’s northern border and I noticed that it went up in the northeastern part of the state. I found nothing about it. This channel kicks ass.
-
I appreciate how much time you’re giving to discuss atrocities Americans committed against Black and Indigenous Americans. These are tragedies that should never be forgotten.
-
It's worth noting that Athens, GA is called the "Liverpool of the South" because of its tremendous influence on alternative rock music. Bands like R.E.M. and the B-52's originated there that revolutionized rock music. Over the last few decades, they've produced so many great bands like Neutral Milk Hotel, Widespread Panic, Drive-By Truckers, Harvey Milk, Elf Power, Of Montreal, etc.

Kinda sucks that the state is pretty under rated, not many people seem to consider it very much. I did in fact move from Virginia to Georgia a long time ago, and I honestly don't think I would want to move anytime soon. When it has literally a perfect weather balance, and all four seasons. Also I really liked how you took your time to explain all about the state, that is some pretty good effort! 👌👌
-
at first I thought that this was going to be a "pander to Atlanta" overview; and then you mentioned Montgomery's Corner and the waterways and kept going...Appreciate it-Toccoa Ga.
-
The best part of this history is that it's current as of literally now... thanks to you, and thank you for, featuring discussion on the current elections!
-
I have lived in GA for 12 years, and this is one of the best vids on the state, thanks!

Georgia is so underrated. I love visiting from Kentucky
