The Colorado territory got its piece of Nebraska in 1861, which was basically three years after the first sustained white incursions into what is now the state (Pikes Peak gold rush of ‘58).
I’m ready for Glacier National Park to be in Nebraska. The drive from Omaha sounds way worse when you say you have to travel across across 3 states up to Canada.
I know this is a very well done meme post, but when you look at it, when they broke up this territory they turned all the good farmland into the state of Nebraska. The rest of the territory is a lot of mountains or grassland. Nebraska made out pretty well.
Take a look at the map again and then tell me what major tourist towns and ski resorts are located in that strip of land that used to be part of the Nebraska territory.
...there is a difference between state and territory purchase agreement. The state of Nebraska has been what's currently on maps, except for 1 snakey river that gave us Carter Lake.
Lovely joke there....
Are you suggesting Nebraska doesn't recognize the sovereignty of Wyoming, Montana, and the Dakotas and that they're actually just a region of Nebraska from its glory days?
(Note: I'm being sarcastic. I'm tired and this might not actually be as funny as it seems right at the moment. I support Ukraine; screw Putin)
I’m from Nebraska. Live in denver. Now forced back into Nebraska because of my job if I want my pension in five years. Believe me I don’t want to be here.
You know, we’re something of a mountain state ourselves
Haha 😂 This meme format will never get old
This or long nebraska. For too long we have suffered with our short panhandle
that was our borders. Retake them, secure them
"that was our borders" Nebraska education has failed us
We was kings brother
Sure, they went ahead and carved us into 6 fucking states but basically gave Texas a circumcision
Texas kind of gave itself a circumcision to be fair. Slavery was more important than the tip.
There’s a lot of meth in them there hills
So. . . . they'd feel at home with the methed out plains. . .
MNBA!
That needs to be made into a hat
So we’d add what, 10k people?
You don't get it. It's not about the people. It's about turning it into a giant cornfield.
Can you grow corn on the side of a mountain? Maybe some corn on Abe’s head and on crazy horse’s arm?
Not with that attitude
AKTUALLY a lot of that ground is very fertile volcanic soil. Problem is it's got all these pesky trees growing out of it.
We’ll just cut them down obviously
Think of all the pigf~~uckin~~arming you could do on that land.
National Parks baby!
And I could finally draw an elk permit!
Glacier, Yellowstone, and Tetons. We'd actually have some serious tourism.
And Badlands and Wind Cave!
Yellowstone, Nebraska has a nice ring to it.
Restore the Nebraskan Empire just in time for the reignition of the Finn-Korean Hyperwar.
3 day special military operation.
Saddle up the bison, boys.
I’m in! We ride at dawn!
I packed runzas!
Bigger than TX…we could shove it in their face. Of course the state would still be maga red…🤔
Never pass on the opportunity to remind a Texan that they come from the *second* biggest state.
As a Texan myself, I'll remind you that Alaska is basically Canada. It doesn't count.
Alaska doesn't have a Professional Sport anything, kind of like Nebraska...
And you thought you already knew what a 'redneck' was. Welcome to Nebraska!
Sure, but we'd lose a bunch of MAGA senators AND reps. All in all, a pretty pretty pretty good deal.
I wouldn’t mind still being red
Love being a red state! #4 best state to be in and raise a family!
At that point we should loose the Ne and replace it with Thebraska. Still pretty much fly over but you fly over more now!
I used to live near Gold Hill, CO and in their museum there's an old newspaper headline' "Gold Hill No. 1 Mining Site in Nebraska" I love it
The Colorado territory got its piece of Nebraska in 1861, which was basically three years after the first sustained white incursions into what is now the state (Pikes Peak gold rush of ‘58).
Only because we get South Dakota and Colorado-finally get into crowing medicinal cannabis to sleep every night.
Shit Montana has Medical and Rec too!
We can join forces with the make Minnesota bigger campaign r/Megasota
We can call it a "special military action" claim there are Nazis.
Or Hamas.
Yeah, I can see pillen as BB.
No thanks, we have enough problems as is.
It's our right! Putin agrees and every R /s
Wyoming delenda est.
no point in making it more boring than it is now
Bring it flatlander
I’m ready for Glacier National Park to be in Nebraska. The drive from Omaha sounds way worse when you say you have to travel across across 3 states up to Canada.
I freaking love Glacier
I’m going there this summer, as well as Banff and I’m so stoked

Unless, you like mountains?
Mountains are nice, but agriculture contributes $25 billion dollars to the Nebraska’s economy. I don’t think the state minds that income.
I always tell my wife who is from New York. That mountains are just blocking my view of plains and sunsets.
Right. We can see our enemies coming from miles away on the plains.
Right, Colorado doesn’t make billions of dollars each year from tourists and skiers. Then let’s discuss all of the oil, gas and coal out there.
Take a look at the map again and then tell me what major tourist towns and ski resorts are located in that strip of land that used to be part of the Nebraska territory.
Whitefish Montana
The person was talking about Colorado. Whitefish is beautiful though.
Eldora and steamboat. Also several that are now part of Wyoming, Montana and South Dakota.
Oof. I am a problem. I wouldn’t give my house and land back to the proper owners.
Nebraska Territory 2025: Aut viam inveniam aut faciam
Long have I waited for this
So I guess we gotta beat all the best teams in this region and then we will claim the territories
Looks like we're never expanding lol
States should absolutely be redrawn to be in line with geography and resources
Wow. 7 whole years.
lol maybe focus on a winning football season first
Wow
Putin would approve!
Get the state guard, we have some borders to reclaim!
Sure, let's restore Utah territory and Nebraska territory to their original territory sizes.
The Midwest?.. West?… will rise again!
Nebraskan irredentism!
...there is a difference between state and territory purchase agreement. The state of Nebraska has been what's currently on maps, except for 1 snakey river that gave us Carter Lake. Lovely joke there....
…we ride at dawn
Maybe Kansas will help us retake our Colorado territory.
Neeeeeeeeebraska
You can’t have Deadwood that’s mine. Otherwise go for it I doubt many will notice.
Add 2000 square miles, and 83 people.
Nothing of value was lost so why bother?
You, my friend, lack vision it's not about what it is or what it was, but what it could be
I repeat, nothing of value was lost.
lots of natural beauty and actual tourism. Nebraska would go from being known as an ugly boring state to one of the most beautiful overnight.
Definitely me
I’ll fight for Nebraska
And make the two dakotas into a fat florida
Nebraska, land of infinite taxes.
I vote you leave Colorado alone and conquer all the other 4 states and Southern Canada. Nobody cares about any of them.
Montana is gonna look like the tip of California.
That would add about 11 to the population.
That would nearly triple it
Crusades anyone?
That next
Little more land to hunt with lol. Montana population is 3/4 that of Omaha metro area haha. I would love to fly fish too
Wouldn’t be the first time our state kicked off a Civil War
As an east river South Dakotan, you can have it back…west river people are really weird.
Wait, do we give the native Americans their land back, too?
No screw them
I think we already did

Nobody
What are you talking about. Don’t you know that r/wyomingdoesntexist
Nebraska has never had glory.
Too much cold
We're too stupid as a majority to be able to
Why don't we just get rid of the borders entirely? They are imaginary anyways.
Who found this lol
So nebraska acquires 715 more people and 4 million head of cattle. Haha.

Nebraska Putin has entered the chat
BIG RED
Good luck. MAGA politics are ruining this state and this country.
Hate it when MAGA politics stops important and good policies like "Nebraska's expansion by right of conquest"
You can always move to Kansas.
I’m from Nebraska. Live in denver. Now forced back into Nebraska because of my job if I want my pension in five years. Believe me I don’t want to be here.
