- Synopsis:
- We are so familiar with the map of the United States, but do we know why the states look the way they do? Every shape on the map tells a great story about the past of the US. Why is California bent? To cling on to gold. Why does Oklahoma have a panhandle? Because of shifting borders of slavery. Why does Missouri have a boot? Because of a massive earthquake. This special examines how every state is a puzzle piece ultimately revealing the unique geographical, political and social history of America.
