I'm canadian, so I obviously don't know much about american geography or history or yada-yada-yah. So... who here feels like informing little miss clueless yet curious here?

well, we have 50 states xD not 49. but thats okay. and you were right about the stars on our flag. and then the thirteen stripes represent the original thirteen colonies. uhm...our independence day is July 4th, my second favorite holiday, bunches of fun with fireworks and such...
civil war, one of my favorite topics in american history. abraham lincoln was president throughout the whole war, but died afterwards, was assassinated when going to see a play. the next president made it hard for the confederates to rejoin the union, and lincoln had wanted it to be easy for them.
geography. well we have loverly mountains, with the rocky mountains in the west, around california [hollywood xD], arizona, etc. arizona is where the grand canyon is. appalachian mountains are in the east, in kentucky, west virginia, virginaia, etc. thats where the "hillbillies" live. rhode island is our smallest state, alaska the largest. hawaii's all cool, floating in the ocean. florida is home to disney world, universal studios theme park, and others. california also has a universal, and disney land. [no idea what the difference is] nevada is the only state where gambling is allowed, home of las vegas, of course.
anything else you want to know?
