'bout VA from a native Virginian yes we are lovers as long as you don't piss us off 'cause you know we DO have the military installations in the USA (the idiot who's writing this comment may or may not be right, but she will get correct herself if she's wrong)

oh yeah for all of the installations here up in northern VA you might as well call North VA a military installation itself but that might make non military personal pissy

MA's kitty is named Morgan? Is his horse named Tabby. (Morgan Horse and Tabby cat are both official state animals of MA, along with the Boston terrier and Right whale.)

All the states have lots of symbols. MA is the only one with an official horse.
MA also has a state insect: ladybug. Lots of the other states do to (I think CT has the honeybee).
State flag, flower, bird. Every state has those.
Also: state beverage, state food, state dessert, state fossil... the lists go on and on. But MA is one of the very few with an official state cat AND a state dog. Yeah, he likes them both.

I was aware that they all had state symbols, multiple in fact. I just didn't look into them. I focused more on what industries they had, their demographics, their roles in history, the stereotypes that are associated with people from that state/area, etc.

That very good to do to. For MA and his New England siblings, ships were the big thing up until the Industrial Revolution. Then, textile factories were where the money was. These days, computers and biotech are where to go. Oh, and of course New England, MA in particular, has TONS of colleges and universities. No dummies, that bunch.
Oh, and for any of you wondering why Maine isn't here: Maine was part of Massachusetts until 1820. New Hampshire was happy that day. (NH: Finally. I don't have to babysit him anymore when Mass is off doing stuff.)

You really know a lot about New England ^^ Are you from there? Or are you just a history buff? Both?
Also, do you know if there's any truth to parts of Maine at some time making it illegal to make clam chowder using tomatoes???

I'm from Massachusetts, and a bit of a history buff.
It almost was made illegal in Maine and also in Massachusetts back in 1939, but the law failed to pass in both states.
Oh, and even though the tomato based one is called Manhattan, it was created in RHODE ISLAND. So why is it called Manhattan? Because, at the time in New England, labeling something as 'from New York' was the biggest insult you could give a product.
