  1. yes! where the prairies are still the prairies! I live in south east Texas where prairie meets coastal areas of swamps and forests of SE TX. And there used to be something called the “Katy Prairie” a once vast prairie which was once known as the largest migration area of yall’s snow geese in all of North America. Alas! No longer. Unfortunately because of the massive growth of Houston and surrounding cities, most of the Katy Prairie is now cities and suburbs and subdivisions. Me, I am not a radical environmentalist so I am not opposed at all to people building houses for themselves and moving in… it is just human existence… Yet, also, the hunter and outdoorsman side of me does simultaneously “mourn” or “bemoan” the loss of the once vast Katy Prairie. Fortunately we still have lots of others prairies in TX but not as much as SD or ND or Manitoba!

  2. hilarious the comments that don’t get that you were joking. But if you weren’t… it is of course to me still a joke.

  3. :31; yes I have wondered it haha and, indeed I do believe I was taught it in my school history and civics class circa the year 2000, back when “they” still taught that stuff in schools😅(do they? they should!). Also I went to a private school which supposedly had more intensive teaching standards than our local public school system… Anyways I forgot, and so I am here to re-learn again!

  4. yes, given the context and politics and history of the time, they split. Good overview. Yet also, the legal process of votings and referendums by which they could, in theory, vote to reunite as One Dakota remains intact. Of course, that would be, in theory, up to the will of the population, of legal, of age voters. And you would have to convince many politicians to “sacrifice” or give up their powers to accomodate the reduction. The fewer the politicians the better. But alas, at this point, it also seems that ND and SD have become attached to their identities.
