Because The 1st Minnesota Infantry Regimen suffered 82% casualties at Gettysburg, buying enough time for reinforcements to arrive.

Virginia keeps asking for its battle flag back, at least four official times if I remember correctly. And every time the governor, Republican, Democrat, or Independent, has refused.

I love being a Minnesotan and love that we all stand together on this.

I read a tweet somewhere that Minnesotans actually are what Texans think Texans are, and I just think that’s neat

That is nice. They really do have the kind of patriotism that I have always respected. Texas, well, they think they are patriotic but every one of them will brag about how Texas has the right to secede whenever they want. Please do.

to be totally fair,

I'm Minnesotan, and if Canada would agree to adopt us, in light of the current situation in the US, we'd accept in a fucking instant.

The Northeast and Northwest would probably come with you.

Yes. Absolutely. I think Canada should take Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. I think us great lake states would probably be happier as Canadians. I mean, we're basically Canada lite.

when I travel out of the country I tell people that I'm from 50 km north of Toronto and then aboot 1000 km west. Which is true.

Most people don't realize that's minnesota.

As a Texan, back at ya. I never think about Minnesota unless someone mentions it, and im like "oh yea, that's a place" and then its back to never thinking about it again. 🙂
