Arkansas - The US Explained

Here in Arkansas the swamps and bayous of the fertile Mississippi Delta meet the country’s largest cluster of mountains between the Rockies and Appalachians. A mostly rural state, it’s home to a number of small cities, some of which have become economically vibrant boomtowns. The Natural State is an all too often overlooked corner of the country, packing a beautiful landscape, important history, kind people, and some really fascinating cities and towns into the Lower 48’s smallest state completely west of the Mississippi.

As an Arkansan, this video is fantastic. I've never seen another youtuber explain the state as accurately as you have.

As an Ohio native, I’ve always been fascinated by Arkansas. I love nature and the wild so much that it’s always shocked me that Arkansas gets left out of the most beautiful natural geography states conversation a lot.

I’ve been waiting FOREVER for this video. As an Arkansan, I approve. Well done, sir!

My best friend has lived in Arkansas since Middle School. I visited NWA and it’s so beautiful. If you see this Keiko, te quiero mucho mi amiga mejor ❤

We have been to Arkansas many times and it is gorgeous. Especially driving up I-49 into NW Arkansas and the Ozarks.

Arkansas It definitely a hidden gem! I'm from Texas we show Arkansas a lot of love! Beautiful state!

"The creatively named island, #20" made me burst out laughing😅 I love that this is a series❤

[wiledman]

It may not be the best state but personally im proud of how much its grown recently, and i find this state absolutely beautiful. Fort Smith will always be my home.

Lived in Arkansas for the first 22 years of my life. Lived in Fort Smith and Fayetteville. NWA might be arguably the best place to grow up in the country, perfect mix of southern and midwestern cultures. Spent many summers in the Ozarks and Ouachitas absolutely wearing them out with hiking, camping, kayaking, and other outdoor activities. What a wonderful place to call home. Living in Colorado now but I’ll always proudly call myself an Arkansan.

One could argue Arkansas has the most state patriotism second to Texas in the US. Just ask your average Arkansan, we’re a proud damn people.

This videos is amazing. As an Arkansan it’s important to note that poverty is not as bad as it sounds when you find out Arkansas has the highest or second highest (depending on who you look) at buying power in the country

[jadestronaut]

ah man I grew up in west Arkansas in the Ouachitas I may not live there now but ill never forget how beautiful the state is and I do get a little homesick. great video Arkansas history is so interesting

[melissajohnson]

As someone that lives on the Ouachita River on the boarder of Louisiana and Arkansas, I have to give a big 👏👏👏 for pronouncing it correctly! A hard feat for most that are not from around here 😂

[jaytaylor]

What i love about the US is just how geographically diverse and culturally diverse the country is. I love learning about the awesome places to visit in each state and the different cultural traditions that are prevalent in each state. Cant wait to learn about Michigan

[philipterry]

thanks for the great episode. as a Arkansas native with ancestors who came prior to the Arkansas Territory founding into The Ozarks in tandem with the Keetoowah Band. it is nice to see a video about my State and region and people. Two facts missed about the Arkansas Ozarks. One is lead and zinc mines used to be prevalent in many areas up to the end of World War 2 ( a trait which it shared with other parts of the Ozarks in the other states ), the 2nd being that the Buffalo National River was declared to be the first national River and is protected by law from ever being stopped by a dam and is a candidate for upgrading to being the next new National Park

Thank you for the respect of a thorough researched on Arkansas. Blessings to you and your brother.

[jeremiahallyn]

Great job on Arkansas, Carter! I've been waiting patiently on the continuation of this series, and you didn't disappoint. I would love to visit NW Arkansas at some point and the Ozarks, it's the only area of that state I've never been to. Can't wait for the next episode 🙌😃

[Rustey_shackleford]

don’t tell anybody about us!! As an Arkansan we are very territorial and want to keep the state as natural and just how it is now or better! We are scared of people from other states if they bring along the same energy from their previous one. Enjoy our natural state. Just PLEASE leave it natural and PLEASE don’t try to change the state we have tried to protect so much. And to those that move here soon or in the future, help us protect this sacred place from people with ill intentions and corporate America- signed concerned AR citizen

Dude, my wife would do anything to live a life similar to yours! She wants to travel and camp all over the country and eventually the world. We've been to several states so far, including Arkansas last year! We went to the Quachita mountains area and it was really NICE. People are so kind there! If your from a city like me and my wife and daughter (New Orleans area) you really are taken aback by people being so kind to strangers but I found that I really liked the people there. And the landscapes and mountains were incredible! So much beauty thats hardly been touched by man. Anyways, im enjoying the presentations and I thank you for your hard work getting them out to us!
