So this one got a bit out of control. I think this is my longest Compared video yet...for some reason. I guess I just really got into both states. I spent a LOT of time researching Acadian history. Also, I now really, really want to visit both now. I've been to Maine, but never Louisiana.

Anyway, you'll quickly find out while watching why I chose to compare these two unique states. Atun-Shei Films even made a cameo to help explain why, and even filmed himself in both Maine and Louisiana! Be sure to subscribe to Atun-Shei in case you haven't already.

Thanks for your continued support!

Another great video! I guess the states being compared are quite random now as you’re running out of options. Do you plan to do a second round of comparing states when you’re finished with this one? (Like Maryland & Virginia, Michigan & Wisconsin, etc)

Matt Beat

Thank you! And to answer your question, yes. 🙂 Probably doing Texas and Oklahoma but not sure about Michigan yet.

This is the most random compared video, two states in different regions. But good video otherwise

Wasn’t expecting this state comparison! I was unaware of the cajun between the two. I love how Maine awards its electoral votes. (Nebraska as well) I also love how they have adopted ranked choice voting. Maine is carrying the pro democracy torch! I also think it is interesting that Louisiana territories are called parishes instead of counties.

Matt Beat

Oh geez. I can't believe I missed the opportunity to bring up Maine having ranked choice voting!
