I had a college professor who absolutely would have handed something like this out as a pop quiz.

This map made me think that I'd love to teach US history and just drop this map on a bunch of 16yos.

"You must label all the states, I won't answer any questions."

And just wait for the first WTFs

I like how it has both Arkansas and Arkansas

I think we could make it easier for many by drawing a diagonal line from the top of Columbia on the west coast to Louisiana in the south east and just label the whole area "Old Mexico".

Then when people start yelling at you go back to where you came from or learn to speak American they can return to Europe where their ancestors were born...
