Vermont was the 14th state to be admitted to the Union on March 4th, 1791, 279 days

after Rhode Island, the 13th state, joined the Union on May 29th, 1790.

Vermont is the second least populated state in the nation with a mere 620,000 inhabitants.

This places the state directly ahead of the last populated state, Wyoming, with approximately

40,000 more inhabitants, and directly behind Alaska with 120,000 less inhabitants.

Vermont has an area of 9,616 square miles, making it larger than 5 states.

It borders the Canadian province of Quebec in the North, New Hampshire in the East, Massachusetts

in the South, and New York in the West.

It's location places it in the Eastern time zone.

The highest point in Vermont is the peak of Mount Mansfield at 4,395 feet above sea level.

This peak is located in the Green Mountains, a range running for an approximate 250 miles

from the state's border with Massachusetts to the Quebec border.

The lowest point in Vermont is Lake Champlain at 95 feet above sea level.

The largest city in Vermont population wise is Burlington with an approximate population

of 42,000 in the city proper and 220,000 in the metropolitan area.

Within the Burlington metro area is the second largest city, South Burlington, with 19,000

inhabitants.

The state capital, Montpelier, is the 6th largest city in the state, with an approximate

7,500 inhabitants.

This city became the capital of the state in 1805.

Montpelier is located within Washington County, one of the fourteen counties in Vermont.

The most populous of these is Chittenden County, with around 160,000 inhabitants, containing

both Burlington and South Burlington.

The least populated county in Vermont, Essex County, is located in the Northeast along

the Quebec and New Hampshire borders, and has an approximate population of 6,000.

The modern flag of Vermont was adopted on June 1st, 1923, and, unlike most states in

the Union, has changed greatly throughout its history.

The first flag used by Vermont is known as the Green Mountain Boys flag, originally serving

as the regiment flag of the Green Mountain Boys militia, consisting of blue canton with

misaligned stars on a field of green.

From 1777 to 1791 when Vermont joined the Union, this flag served as the flag for the

Republic of Vermont; a republic independent of both the British and New York, who has

claimed the area as their own.

The republic would become a state of the United States in 1791, sticking with the same flag

until 1804.

The state adopted its second flag on May 1st of 1804, appearing similar to the American

flag with 'Vermont' written in the top stripe.

This flag, however, has 17 stripes and 17 stars as opposed to the thirteen and fifty

we have today.

This was because the original intent was to add both a star and stripe to the flag with

every new state.

Meaning in the modern day, the U.S. flag would have 50 stars and 50 stripes.

This design naturally looks worse and worse as more states are added, so the stripes remain

at thirteen and the stars continue counting.

This would be rectified when the third flag of Vermont, adopted on October 20th of 1837,

would have 13 stripes and a single large star containing the state coat of arms.

The modern flag was adopted in 1923, consisting of the coat of arms on a field of blue.

The pine branches on either side of the shield represent the branches worn by soldiers at

the Battle of Pittsburgh in the War of 1812.

The tree in the center symbolizes the vast forests of Vermont, while the cow and wheat

represent the dairy, agricultural industries prevalent in Vermont.

The deer head above the shield represents the wildlife of the state.

Finally, both 'Vermont' and the state motto of 'Freedom and Unity' and displayed

under the shield.

The first European to explore Vermont was Frenchman Samuel de Champlain in 1609, claiming

the area around Lake Champlain for France and coining the name 'Green Mountains'

[les Verts Monts].

This French translation is also the roots of the name 'Vermont'.

The first settlement in Vermont, Fort Sainte Anne, would be established by the French in

1666, expanding the French influence in the area and furthering their claims over the

Vermont area.

Several other early settlements would be established by both the French and the English, however

the first permanent European settlement in Vermont was established in 1724 by the English

in the form of Fort Drummer.

Following the end of the French and Indian War, the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1793,

ending New France's control of Vermont subsided and opening the area up to settlement from

elsewhere; most notably New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire.

This would lead the Province of Massachusetts bay to claim Vermont, pointing to the 1629

charter of the Massachusetts Bay Colony for legitimacy.

The New York province would also lay claim to the region, citing the grant given to the

Duke of York in 1664.

New Hampshire was also able to justify a claim to the area, based on an order by King George

the second issued in 1740.

Between 1749 and 1764, over one hundred land grants [135 total, 131 towns] would be issued

by the governor of New Hampshire, Benning Wentworth, which are now known as the New

Hampshire Grants.

Shortly after this, King George III would establish the boundary separating New Hampshire

and New York's claims, delegitimizing New Hampshire's claims and officially giving

Vermont to New York.

This upset many inhabitants of Vermont, leading to the creation of the Green Mountain Boys

in 1775 under the leadership of Colonel Ethan Allen.

This group was relatively small, having less than a hundred members, but played an important

role in the American revolution and, more particularly, the formation of the Republic

of Vermont.

Originally, the new nation's name was New Connecticut, however Vermont - an imperfect

translation of 'Green Mountain' was later adopted.

The republic would hold a convention in Windsor, where 72 delegates met to adopt the new constitution.

This constitution was not only the first written constitution to be created in North America,

but also the first to prohibit slavery (although this was not strongly enforced), and grant

all men the right to vote, regardless of property ownership.

The republic minted it's own coins and operated an independent postal service, however would

cease to exist in 1791 when the republic was admitted to the Union - the first state to

join the original thirteen.

The only major battle to involve Vermont during the American Revolution occurred outside of

the state's borders in New York.

Despite its namesake of Bennington, Vermont, the Battle of Bennington occured about ten

miles [16 km] outside of Bennington.

General John Stark would lead his American troops to victory against the British here,

leading to the creation of Bennington Battle Day, a Vermont specific holiday observed annually

on August 16th.

Following the Union's independence, Vermont was admitted to the Union in 1791 as the 14th

state.

More than 30,000 Vermonters would serve in the Civil War, around 5,000 of which would

die.

Following the Civil War, Vermont's economy would be primarily agricultural and dairy

based, both of which continue to be prevalent today.

The state would put an increased effort in being environmentally friendly around this

time, with around 90% of the state's energy being supplied by hydropower in 1940.

Vermont continues to be an integral member of the Union, and played a crucial role in

the formation of our nation in the first place.

This is Morrethy.

Korematsu v. United States - Duration: 7:52.

Mr. Beat presents

Supreme Court Briefs

Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, December 7, 1941

December 7, 1941...yeah

Japan drops bombs on an American naval base, killing more than 2400 Americans, and injuring 1000 more.

In response, the United States declares war on Japan, officially entering World War II.

Increasingly, Americans viewed anyone of Japanese heritage suspiciously.

Japanese Americans had already faced racism and discrimination in the country for nearly 100 years.

After the Pearl Harbor attack, that racism and discrimination went to the next freaking level, as many thought Japanese Americans might be more loyal to Japan than the United States, sharing military secrets with them and stuff or trying to sabotage the war effort.

Despite there being no evidence whatsoever that this was happening, Japanese American persecution increased.

People bought Jap-hunting licenses.

Life Magazine published an article illustrating how to tell the difference between a Japanese person and Chinese person by the shape their nose and height.

In California, the racism and paranoia seemed to be worse.

A barber shop there advertised "free shaves for Japs" with a disclaimer that read "not responsible for accidents."

A funeral parlor advertised "I'd rather do business with a Jap than an American."

Several people called for removing all Japanese Americans from western states and forcing them to live in concentration camps somewhere else.

President Franklin Roosevelt, who had a record of being racist against the Japanese, agreed with this idea.

He signed Executive Order 9066.

It ordered the roundup of 120,000 Americans of Japanese descent to 1 of 10 concentration camps, called officially "relocation centers."

It also said Japanese Americans weren't allowed to be in California at all, as well as much of Oregon, Washington, and Arizona, unless they were in one of the camps, of course.

Fred Korematsu was one of the Japanese Americans who said the heck with Executive Order 9066.

He stayed in California.

He had a girlfriend who was not Japanese American there he didn't want to leave, and just thought Roosevelt's order was wrong.

So after his entire family left for one of the camps, he stayed behind, became a welder, and tried not to stand out too much.

He changed his name and got a fake ID.

Later, he even tried to have plastic surgery on his eyes to look less Japanese.

The plastic surgeon who worked on him didn't do the procedure but took his money anyway.

Shortly after this, someone reported him and he was arrested.

After his arrest, he never saw his girlfriend again, by the way.

Eventually, Korematsu found himself in federal prison.

The American Civil Liberties Union, or ACLU, reached out to him there and offered to represent him in court.

Korematsu said heck yeah. Together, they argued that Executive Order 9066 went against the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment.

Korematsu's loyalty to the United States was never in question.

Still, in federal court in San Francisco, he was convicted, given five years of probation, and sent to a concentration camp in Utah.

He appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals, who agreed with the lower court.

He then appealed again, and the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, hearing arguments in October 1944, with the war still raging on.

During arguments, the Court considered a similar case from the previous year called Hirabayashi v. United States.

That one upheld Executive Order 9066.

The Court announced its decision on December 18, 1944. It sided with the United States. But this one was certainly controversial. It was 6-3.

The Court argued that Executive Order 9066 was justified in order to keep the country safe.

They said the need to protect Americans from espionage was more important than individual rights.

Justice Hugo Black wrote the opinion, but today most say the opinion is pretty flawed.

He wrote, "Korematsu was not excluded from the Military Area because of hostility to him or his race. He was excluded because we are at war with the Japanese Empire."

Actually, no. That is false. He also wrote,

"There was evidence of disloyalty on the part of some (Japanese Americans), the military authorities considered that the need for action was great, and the time was short."

You're 0 for 2, Hugo. At that time, there was no evidence of that, either.

Justice Felix Frankfurter chimed in that the Constitution gave the President and Congress these war powers.

The three justices who dissented all wrote separate opinions.

Justice Frank Murphy passionately argued that the decision was basically the legalization of racism, and that this racial discrimination went against everything the United States stood for.

"All residents of this nation are kin in some way by blood or culture to a foreign land. Yet they are primarily and necessarily a part of the new and distinct civilization of the United States.

They must, accordingly, be treated at all times as the heirs of the American experiment, and as entitled to all the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution." Dang, you tell 'em Frank.

On January 2, 1945, President Roosevelt cancelled Executive Order 9066.

The camps were shut down, and many Japanese Americans returned home to find their belongings missing or destroyed.

Fred Korematsu returned home, and did not speak publicly about the case for decades.

Flash forward to the 1980s. By this time most Americans agreed that what the government did to Japanese Americans during World War II was messed up.

In 1983, Korematsu's original conviction was finally overturned.

In 1988, Congress passed the Civil Liberties Act, which formally apologized to the Japanese Americans affected and awarded payments of $20,000 to each camp survivor, about $43,000 in today's money.

Korematsu did speak out in his later years.

He died in 2005. In 2009, a non-profit civil liberties organization called the Fred T. Korematsu Institute was founded.

It's currently ran by Fred's daughter, Karen Korematsu.

Korematsu v. United States is often considered one of the worst Supreme Court decisions in American history.

Today the case, as well as the treatment of Japanese Americans during World War II, are both seen as major tragedies.

On June 26, 2018, in the case Trump v. Hawaii, a case which upheld the President's restriction of travel in the United States by people from several countries, the Supreme Court finally FINALLY officially overruled the Korematsu decision.

I'll see you for the next Supreme Court case, jury!

Yeah, that was really freaking sad. On a lighter note, did you know I have a Twitter?

That's how I knew you guys wanted me to cover this case.

You should follow me on Twitter for esoteric Tweets like this one, which I tweeted on June 25th, 2018.

Today I ate half a pound of black beans in a sterile room. I was joined by 19 complete strangers, all doing the same thing.

We said nothing to each other. In fact, we didn't even look at each other as we devoured our beans.

New PM could change US-Pakistan relations - Duration: 1:10.

Pakistan's political outsider Imran Khan is on track to be the

country's next prime minister. And that could spell trouble for

the tumultuous relationship between Pakistan and the U.S. In

his presumptive victory speech, Khan accused the U.S. of trying

to make Pakistan fight the war in Afghanistan for them. He

called for moving toward a more "balanced relationship" with the

U.S. Pakistan has been both a critical ally and a major

headache for the U.S. in Afghanistan. The country

provides the U.S. with crucial supply routes and staging areas,

but it has also been accused of sheltering Afghanistan's Taliban

groups within its borders. President Donald Trump has

harshly criticized Pakistan's "lies and deceit" on Twitter and

has suspended millions of dollars in aid to the country.

Khan, for his part, has a history of staunchly opposing

U.S. drone strikes in the region. But Khan's ability to

reshape Pakistan's foreign policy might be curtailed by the

country's powerful military. Khan has adapted the military's

preferred positions on several issues and is accused of

benefiting from the military's covert influence during the

election. And since Pakistan is a nuclear-armed power, the U.S.

still has a vested interest in keeping the country's government

stable and secure, lest its nuclear weapons fall into the

wrong hands.

Does U.S. debt matter? | CNBC Explains - Duration: 4:37.

U.S. debt is ticking up.

In fact, every second, national debt increases by thousands of dollars.

So just since you started watching this video, debt has gone up.

U.S. national debt is more than $21 trillion.

Yep, that's 12 zeros!

Having trouble visualizing it? Well, think of it this way.

You could wrap $1 bills around the Earth more than 80,000 times with that amount.

So how did we get here? Well, it's simple really.

The government is spending more money than it's taking in.

The government makes money in one key way: taxes.

Your income or payroll taxes are revenue for the government.

It then spends that money on things like social security, health care and defense.

The catch is the government doesn't have enough revenue to pay for all of these

programs at once, so it borrows money in the same way that you or I might.

For example, as a consumer, it's good for me to be able to take out a loan

for things like a car or a home.

Without credit, I probably wouldn't be able to do that.

It kind of works that way for the government, too.

Without borrowing money, the government wouldn't be able to invest as much

in education, national security and infrastructure.

So how does the government borrow money? Well, it issues bonds.

Investors and central banks buy U.S. debt in the form of Treasury bonds and securities,

and they get returns when the government pays interest on those bonds.

Of the $21 trillion debt, around $15.5 trillion is defined as held by the public.

The other $5.7 trillion is money the federal government owes itself,

for example in social security trust funds.

When it comes to debt held by the public, 6% is owned by state and local governments

and 15% by the Federal Reserve.

Foreign investors hold 39% of American debt with China and Japan as the two biggest buyers.

The remaining 40% is owned by U.S. investors.

So that means the biggest buyer of U.S. debt is actually the American people.

So does all of this debt matter?

Most economists would agree the short answer to that question is yes,

but there's plenty of debate over just how much.

Economists generally think it's okay for debt to increase when the economy needs a boost.

You can see in this chart, federal debt held by the public spiked during World War II

and during the financial crisis, when the government borrowed money to boost the economy.

The problem is that the federal debt is set to continue to increase to its highest level

since 1946, even though the economy is now in much better shape.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is passed.

One reason for this is a big law Congress passed at the end of 2017 that lowered taxes

without cutting spending, which will result in even more borrowing.

Another reason the national debt is likely to grow?

America's population is getting older.

And that means the government will need to pay for more programs for senior citizens.

For example, spending will increase on Medicare, Medicaid and social security.

Some investors have gotten used to sky-high debt levels that have become the norm

not just in the U.S. but around the world since the financial crisis.

U.S. bonds have remained a popular investment and the country still has a AA+ credit rating,

meaning it's rated one of the safest places in the world to put your money.

But economists, policymakers and politicians have warned that a debt crisis is looming

where the U.S. won't be able to pay its bills or where it's already so deep

in debt when the next crisis hits that it can't spend its way out of it.

U.S. Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats called the growing debt a

In April, the International Monetary Fund warned about record-high global debt levels,

and it said the U.S. needs to address solutions for its growing deficit.

The Fund found that over the next five years the U.S. is the only advanced economy

where debt relative to GDP is likely to increase.

That's not even the case for Italy or Greece, countries that have notoriously struggled to pay their debts.

Some here on Capitol Hill have said the growing debt needs to be addressed now

by doing things like raising taxes or cutting spending. But, so far, their efforts have fallen short.

As Congress kicks the debt can down the road, Wall Street doesn't seem too worried yet.

That could change as interest rates go up, meaning the U.S. owes even more to pay off its debt.

In fact, just since you've been watching this video, interest on the national debt has increased

by more than a million dollars.

U.S. Justice Department Fighting To Keep Families Separated Even LONGER - Duration: 4:19.

Now let's move onto the immigration chaos.

With no clear plan on how to reunite the families that they separated at the border, the US

Justice Department tried to argue in court that they should be able to keep immigrant

children detained for even longer periods of time.

A claim that the judge, thankfully, didn't buy into.

This story ... when I saw this story, you know the first thing that I thought about?

I thought about the travel ban.

Now let me set this up just a little bit.

The travel ban, everybody said there's no way it was going to succeed.

You and I did shows on it, you and I talked about the reason it would succeed.

This is a similar analysis.

Take it from there.

Right, what we have right now is the administration, no administration, can keep a child separated

from their parents in detainment for more than 20 days.

Right.

Well as it turns out, that's actually based on a previous California court case: Flores

v Reno.

So if they file some kind of emergency injunction, get the emergency hearing from the courts

and appeal this thing fast enough, what they're going to do is get the Supreme Court, which

is completely right wing at this point, and they're gonna rule and say, no the Flores

decision, Flores agreement no longer holds.

This is an emergency power, police power because we have a crisis and we have to deal with

it.

Which is what they did with the Muslim ban basically.

Well okay, let me tease that out just a little bit.

I remember when the ban, the travel ban came about.

You had lawyers working for big networks who knew better.

They absolutely knew better than to speak these words.

And they spoke the words, "There's no way that this will stand up."

I actually heard them say it and as I was listening to it, I was going, well you maybe

never took a constitutional law class.

Which seemed incredible to me that I would hear that kind of discussion coming.

But the constitutional law aspect of this says that, we give to the president on executive

order, kind of status, we give him very broad police powers.

Now what was the rationale on the ban?

The rationale on the ban was we believed that if affected health, safety, welfare kind of

issues.

That's what the test is all the time.

The test on this, this judge may have ruled when I can allow this but if it's tested,

the judge is going to be overruled.

Unless the court just gets so political and says, gee whiz you know, we have to do this

because its not the right thing to do.

That always makes bad law.

You and I might agree with what the judge did.

We do agree with that.

But if we're really analyzing where this is going: it's a dead end.

Absolutely.

This judge, Dolly Gee, she did the right thing.

Yeah.

We have a real humanitarian crisis here in the United States.

The United Nations has condemned it as massive Human Right's violation.

The administration, DOJ, they have no idea how to reunite any of these families.

Most, not most, but some of them actually they've already been sent to orphanages.

Right.

Their parents were deported, they didn't realize it so they've sent them off to orphanages.

They're gone, they're out of the system.

Hopefully somebody adopts them at this point.

And what they're trying to do is buy a little bit more time.

And a judge actually said recently that you missed your deadline and somebody had asked

me, "Well what does that mean?

What kind of punishment?"

I said, "There's not gonna be a punishment because they can prove, even though it's not

good faith effort, they can show that they've attempted a good faith effort to meet the

deadline."

That's the hoop they have to jump through.

Right.

We've tried to do this, we can't do it.

And oh by the way, this is a health, safety and welfare issue.

Look, all you gotta do is go back, way back, look at the Japanese internment camp kind

of rationale.

Now that, think of how extreme that is.

It was a time of war.

Pearl Harbor had been bombed but if you look at the rationale, the rationale says, we're

gonna give broad powers both to Congress and the White House where it comes to making decisions.

This is an executive order decision, you're gonna see that the way they justify is, we're

concerned about health, safety and welfare.

They're gonna land there some way.

They may not use those exact words but that's where they're gonna land on this discussion.
