I am so hoping the red things are free-flowing ribbons attached to a blue triangle

I play Statle which has you guess state flags. And I never realized how much I appreciate our flag. I find its symbolism and uniqueness something special about it. I am now so grateful i don’t have a podunk state flag — versus some of these Wish.com designed state flags that have the state’s names written on them in big letters. Lol. :P But jokes aside, some flags have like confederate flags in them. Ohio’s def beats quite a few flags imo.

And Oregon's is the only state flag to have a different image on the reverse from the obverse.

The USGS defined a mountain as any landform that rises 1000ft or more above the surrounding area. Ohio's most prominent (and highest) point is 1549ft above sea level (43rd highest overall) but is only 639ft above the surrounding area. It is also 1094ft above the lowest point (the Ohio River at the tri-boundary of Indiana and Kentucky).

Ohio is landlocked by other states but it does have access to Lake Erie which connects to the Atlantic Ocean via the St. Lawrence River. However, Ohio was not a major ocean access point for the interior during the colonial era because it was mostly inhabited by Native Americans who resisted European settlement.

There was a war fought over Ohio that indirectly influenced the American Revolution. It was called the French and Indian War (1754-1763) and it involved Britain and France competing for control of North America, including Ohio. The war ended with Britain gaining most of France’s territory east of the Mississippi River but also imposing taxes on its colonies to pay for the war debt. This led to resentment and resistance among colonists who felt they had no representation in Parliament.

The Proclamation of 1763 was one of the acts that angered colonists because it prohibited them from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains, including Ohio. Some colonists defied this order and moved into Ohio anyway, causing conflicts with Native Americans who allied with Britain during the Revolutionary War (1775-1783).

So, Ohio was not a major ocean access point for the interior but it was a contested land between Britain, France and Native Americans that contributed to colonial grievances that sparked the American Revolution.

I thought part of it burned off when the river caught on fire and they just left it that way

I was told it was round on both ends. I feel robbed.
