I live in Vermont. Do you know anything about it?
Just that it's a tiny little state up in New England way up there. Second smallest by population actually! Like 14 people probably, right?
I am not sure. When did Vermont join the union?
It became a part of the States in 1791 just after the Revolutionary War. But it was its own country for a short time!
Wow, I didn't know that. What is Vermont best known for?
It is definitely the maple syrup capitol of the country. Forget Canada, Vermont is where it's at!
Does Vermont have a maple syrup union that controls the price of maple syrup? I remember watching a documentary about maple syrup in Canada or maybe it was a providence of Canada
Yep, the Vermont Maple Syrup Makers' Association. But don't worry, it ain't no mob gang. Vermont is THE safest state in the country as of 2016.
What is its murder rate?
About 1.6 per 100,000 people, which puts it 5th in the country in 2015. But you know, that's not the only metric that goes into how safe a state is.
