Though the U.S. is not even 250 years old, history textbooks already must omit a great deal. Here are in-depth looks at a few of the most fascinating and less flattering events and scenes that took place on American soil.

America's Forgotten History

From the early inhabitants of the original 13 colonies, to the pioneers who moved West and South as America expanded, there was one common problem when it came to establishing new settlements: What would they name their city?Some US cities and towns were named after a founder, a nearby geological feature, or a place the settlers had come from, but <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/weird-american-small-towns/noah-henry">others</a> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/weird-american-town-names/laura-allan">had very unusual names.</a>And the city or town could end up being renamed, sometimes multiple times. Here are the stories about how some US cities got their original monikers, and the reason(s) why the name ended up being changed.

When walking through the streets of Disneyland in California, sharp-eyed visitors can spot tons of hidden Mickeys, secret gems, and obscure references placed by park Imagineers for visitors. You might even see a real-life human skull amongst the decorations.

The Olympic Games

2024

The highly anticipated 2024 <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/summer-olympics-sports-events/melissa-sartore">Summer Olympics</a> (officially the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad) are <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-opening-ceremonies-in-olympics-history/ranker-sports">set to begin</a> on July 26, 2024, in Paris. This time around, there are <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://olympics.com/ioc/faq/competing-and-being-part-of-the-games/how-many-athletes-and-countries-take-part-in-the-olympic-games">expected to be</a> around 10,500 athletes from 206 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) participating. The list below includes participating countries, but excludes non-countries such as the Refugee Olympic Team or the Individual Neutral Athletes (athletes from Russia and Belarus).While most viewers likely tune in in order to root for the home team (their own country), others may have allegiances to other countries in certain sports, family or childhood ties to another nation, or simply love to see an underdog story. So without going against your patriotism, what other countries would you like to see standing on the medaling podium? (After your own country's athletes, of course.)&nbsp;In deciding who to root for, standings are also important. As of the Winter Games of 2022, the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/olympic-medals-by-country">top 10 countries</a> with the most overall medals are, in order: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-olympic-athletes-from-united-states-of-america/voteable">United States</a> (2,985), Germany, United Kingdom, France, Italy, China, Sweden, Japan, Norway, and Australia. (Great Britain, China, Japan, and Australia are all teams that tend to be much bigger contenders in the Summer Olympics than in Winter.) In South America, Brazil leads in medals, while Kenya leads in Africa.Meanwhile, on the other end, 68 of the countries with NOCs have never medaled at the Olympics. The country with the most games (32) and no medals is Monaco, followed by Andorra (25). (Monaco <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://monaconow.com/le-comite-olympique-monegasque-incarnation-de-lolympisme-a-monaco/">did win an art medal</a> in 1924, but these are no longer counted as official medals.) Bolivia is the only South American country without a medal (after 22 games). &nbsp;Also notable is South Sudan, a not-yet-medaled team that heads into 2024 as its third Olympic games; perhaps the third time is the charm.Vote on which nations will have your support in the 2024 Olympics below.

We're here to determine what are and are not appropriate in-plane behaviors. Vote up anything you'd consider rude, annoying, or offensive, and vote down the benign plane actions that you think are perfectly in line with good airplane etiquette. The results will hopefully make us all more courteous of our fellow fliers.Sometimes it can seem as if all normal social etiquette and human behavior goes out the window on an airplane. Perhaps it's the giddiness of a trip, the confined space and ensuing cabin fever, or merely a lot of cranky, tired passengers thinking first and foremost of themselves. But part of the problem may be that there are no defined, black and white laws of the sky or social rules of airplanes that dictate what is and isn't acceptable.&nbsp;After all, if reclining one's seat or summoning the flight attendant are rude, why do buttons exist for each? Is the middle seat passenger entitled to more armrest rights than those seated in the aisle or the window? Is it anyone else's business if one orders five cocktails, or watches a NSFW movie, or eats a tuna salad sandwich?

The solar system is a vast, amazing place. From our Goldilocks-zone planet of Earth we've been able to observe and learn quite a lot about our solar neighborhood. Most of that knowledge has come from high tech probes and telescopes, letting us peek at the other celestial bodies that make up our solar system. Getting there in person has proved a considerable challenge for our tenacious drive to explore. The whole solar system is hundreds of millions of kilometers of space, inhabited by objects that make up an infinitesimal fraction of that volume. And even if you could live long enough to make the voyage, these places aren't exactly hospitable, with all manners of intolerable cold, heat or toxicity. But let's just assume we all had a TARDIS or something. What cool things in the solar system could you visit? What outer space tourist sites would be your favorite destinations in an age of space tourism?

If you've spent any time driving across the United States, surely you've seen the signs: &quot;SPEED ENFORCED BY AIRCRAFT.&quot; What, exactly, does&nbsp;that mean? How do they track speed with aircraft? Surprisingly, the technology is pretty old school.Why the mystery? Different states patrol speeders from the sky and some states almost never do it. In areas where the signs are present, most motorists never see the planes or helicopters monitoring them, which makes it all seem like a ruse. But it's for real, alright. And if you're not careful, speed enforcing aircraft technology could cost you.&nbsp;

US History You Should Know

It’s easy to assume that whatever customs, systems, processes, and general facts of life you’re accustomed to are the “norm.” However, as soon as you venture out of your home country or region, it becomes extremely apparent that not everything you do or have at home is the norm elsewhere. For Americans, this means coming&nbsp;across <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/why-dont-americans-use-bidets/genevieve-carlton">a bidet</a> on a French vacation, or having a tip refused at a restaurant, or being forced to make sense of&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/why-dont-americans-use-metric-system/melissa-sartore">the metric system</a> can come as a shock to the system.The truth is, the US does many things differently from the rest of the world.

Below you’ll find many things Americans do differently from the rest of the world - and why.

How is it that&nbsp;in a modern society with technology&nbsp;like driverless cars and Sophia the humanoid robot, traffic is still a major issue in many American cities?

Multiple factors can influence why traffic congestion happens, and while some of these factors are beyond the control of the average motorist, how a person&nbsp;responds&nbsp;to both other motorists and challenging driving conditions often contributes to the severity of traffic at any given time. When it comes to reducing or eliminating traffic problems, it will take nothing short of a group effort for us all to become smarter, more aware drivers.

Language

The United States is one of the most linguistically diverse countries in the world; as of 2020, it was estimated that between 350 and 430 different <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-language-to-learn/jennifer-lee" target="_blank">languages</a>&nbsp;are spoken in the nation. English is the most widely spoken, followed by Spanish.

But there are also dialects that are spoken by a much smaller number of people who reside in specific parts of the US. These <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/til-accent-dialect-facts/tracey-graham" target="_blank">lesser-known dialects</a> include the brogue spoken by the residents of Ocracoke Island in North Carolina&#39;s Outer Banks region, the Cajun French of Louisiana, and the pidgin that was developed by people who came to the Hawaiian Islands to work on the sugar plantations.&nbsp;

Some of these dialects, like the mixture of colonial-era British English and Tidewater spoken by some of the residents of Tangier Island in Virginia or the Boontling heard in the Northern California community of Boonville, are in danger of dying off, as younger generations haven&#39;t been taught the language. But there is hope that these, as well as many of the other lesser-known dialects spoken by residents of the US,&nbsp;can be preserved - and possibly even revived - before it&#39;s too late.

Let's face it: some places are less desirable to live than others, especially in the United States. With a lot of people migrating towards major metropolitan cities, it makes states that don't have either a big city or are rural not desirable places to live. Weather also plays a big part in figuring out where the worst place to live is. Would you rather be living in the freezing cold with snow potentially coming down as late as April or would you rather be living it up on the beach all year round. All of these important factors go into deciding which of these places is the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/worst-cities-in-america-to-live-in-or-visit?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">worst place to live in America</a>. There are some US states on this list that are noticeable punching bags. For example, New Jersey, Ohio and Mississippi on here. Likewise with cold weather states like Minnesota and overly hot desert land like in Nevada. If the weather is too extreme in one direction or another, the state is likely to be on this list. The same goes for lesser populated states like North Dakota, South Dakota and Idaho.Ultimately, it's up to you to decide where is the worst place to live in the U.S. and which states in the USA are the most horrible. Each place may have its merits and demerits, but one place has to be the worst place to live and it's on you to decide. Make your voice heard on this list of the worst states to live in.

College Football Is Life

The best college football stadiums are those football fields on college campuses that are the most loved by fans of the home team and most feared by rival fans. Hosting in excess of 100,000 fans per game each Saturday in the fall, these are the biggest, most popular and absolute best stadiums college football has to offer.It's hard not to name the biggest stadium in America, and the third-largest in the world, as among the elite. Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Michigan, home to the winningest team in college football history, the Michigan Wolverines, remains the gold standard for college football stadiums. Following in terms of biggest capacity, Beaver Stadium, where the Penn State Nittany Lions call home, and Neyland Stadium, home field of the Tennessee Volunteers follow with each hosting over 102,000-plus when at full capacity. But there are plenty of other absolutely fabulous stadiums across the country for college football fans. Bryant-Denny Stadium, home of the Alabama Crimson Tide, Tiger Stadium, where the LSU Tigers compete, Kyle Field, home to the Texas A&amp;M Aggies and Notre Dame Stadium, the mothership of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are all favorites for fans of the home team and numerous others around the country and world.So, whether you prefer the world record crowds packing The Big House or the history and charm of the Rose Bowl, if you're a true college football fan, you owe it to yourself to experience a game in these best college football stadiums. Vote for your favorites below then go vote for the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-nfl-stadiums/sportsyeah" target="_blank">best NFL stadiums</a> and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-college-basketball-arenas/sportsyeah" target="_blank">best college basketball arenas</a> too!

Cities that should have a baseball team include the large metropolitan areas in the United States and Canada that are currently lacking a Major League Baseball team but certainly could make a good case as to why they deserve one. Currently, the MLB fields 30 teams and attracts an average of more than 30,000 fans per game, second only to attendance of the National Football League. With a draw like that, it only makes sense to bring America's pastime to other big cities across North America.Many of these cities have baseball teams currently, home to minor league teams, but as of the 2012 season, none of these areas enjoy a MLB team. Columbus for instance has the Clippers in the International League. Indianapolis also has an International League team with the Indians. The Portland Sea Dogs play in the Eastern League while the Oklahoma City RedHawks play in the Pacific Coast League. All of these cities have baseball teams, but there's a certain bit that is left desired between having a minor league team and one in the big leagues of the MLB.But even worse than having a minor league baseball team is not having one at all. Some formerly were home to MLB teams only to see the team move to another location for one reason or another. The Montreal Expos are the most recent example of that having been the first MLB franchise outside of the United States and existing from 1969 to 2004. Alas the Expos faced a multitude of issues and relocated, interestingly enough to America's capital, Washington DC.Whether these cities are simply big, deserving American cities like Buffalo, New York, Indianapolis, Indiana, and New Orleans, Louisiana, or worthy cities in Canada like Montreal, Vancouver and Ottawa, each of these metro areas could easily support a Major League Baseball team. Live in a great city that deserves a professional baseball team? Vote for the cities you think deserve an MLB team! Who knows, maybe one of them will be home to the next <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-baseball-players-of-all-time">greatest baseball player of all time</a>.
