Then & Now
🕰️ History isn't really 'history' — it shapes today, every day.
When we compare states, we often look at two important factors: population and size. Some states, like Texas, are very large, covering many square miles, while others, like Rhode Island, are much smaller. Population tells us how many people live in each state, and some states have millions of residents, while others might have just a few hundred thousand. Understanding these differences helps us learn about the unique characteristics of each state.
