11/ Georgia, GA

There is a border dispute at the Georgia-Tennessee boundary. Georgia claims parts of the Tennessee River after mistakes were made when surveying the region in the 19th Century.

Over 200 years have passed but it remains a β€œhot” topic due to the rapidly increasing and drier weather in the region, which has led to water shortages and limitations.

12/ Hawaii, HI

Hawaii changed political form several times before becoming the 50thβ€”and newestβ€”U.S. state on August 21, 1959! 🌺 It was an independent kingdom from 1795 until 1893, then became a republic (1894-1898), followed by U.S. territory status (1898-1959), and finally, statehood.
