I am watching the series "How the states got their shape" from the History Channel. Pretty interesting facts about the United States, not just historical facts, but also cultural, religious and language factors that weighed in todays' state shape. For example did you know about the State of Jefferson? Or about how a fort was built in Canada due to poor surveying at the time, so that they changes the border with Canada to include it? Or how the mormons moved to New Mexico in Salt Lake City to found a religious Kingdom called Deseret, but then the border moved and they were yet again in US soil?!
Fascinating stuff.
