I know some of you donât like shorts so in the coming weeks if you see some shorts donât ask if I am changing the channel into a shorts channel.

People ask how I come up with videos. The first thing is an essay. If I had it my way I would be making video essays. Lists just appeal to a wider audience.
I research and write no less than 4 essays a week. And they are all as weird as I am. I really don't have a serious side.
Why is New England so different from the rest of the United States?
New Englandâa charming region with old-fashioned towns, clam chowder, and letâs not forget that subtle sense of doom lingering in the air. Itâs where American history lives on, frozen in old stone walls and cobblestone streets, while modern-day residents putter along in Subaru Outbacks, gripping travel mugs full of artisanal coffee. Compared to the rest of the United States, New England feels like an eerie love child of colonial nostalgia and unsolved murder mysteries. Itâs quirky. Itâs historical. And if you dig deeper, itâs just a little bit⌠sinister.
New Englandâs Charming (Yet Suspicious) Small Towns
First off, letâs address what makes New England so visually different. You wonât find massive, sprawling ranches or endless deserts here. Instead, New England towns are filled with perfectly âquaintâ homes that look like they were plucked straight out of a horror film. Picture this: white picket fences, a neighborhood church with a clock tower, fog creeping in over an old cemetery with dates going back to the 1600s. New England towns are places where youâd expect to see a ghost wander by and casually tip its hat. Theyâre photogenic for sureâthough they do make you wonder how many bodies are hidden in those peaceful forests.
Crime? Oh, New England Has That Too
Now, if youâre one to judge a place by its crime rates, well, buckle up. New England has a bit of a "crimey" reputation, though itâs typically well-disguised beneath that sweet, colonial exterior. According to the FBI, New England has lower crime rates compared to many parts of the country. But thatâs just on the surface. This is where New Englandâs talent for subtlety kicks in. In places like New Hampshire and Vermont, the numbers look low, but this might have more to do with the fact that people are quite adept at not getting caught. Itâs not that people are all that well-behavedâitâs that there are an awful lot of lakes, rivers, and forests to hide things in.
The standout in New Englandâs crime stats is Connecticut. Known for being the âgo-toâ New England state for mystery lovers, itâs the regionâs dark horse when it comes to crime rates, especially for violent crimes. Meanwhile, the small but mighty state of Rhode Island doesnât shy away from serious crime, either, even though itâs about the size of a postage stamp. Turns out that in New England, the biggest trouble can sometimes come in the tiniest packages.
New England: Home to Some Infamous Killers
You canât talk about New England without mentioning the fact that some of Americaâs most notorious killers have roots in the region. Take Albert DeSalvo, aka the Boston Strangler. This guy âallegedlyâ (New Englanders love that word) strangled 13 women in the early 1960s. He wasnât convicted of murder in the end, but his case left a lingering sense of dread around Boston that still gets locals locking their doors. New England just loves a good âmaybeâ mystery, especially if it involves a dash of horrific crime.
Then thereâs Lizzie Borden, who was acquitted for the ax murders of her father and stepmother in Fall River, Massachusetts. Her trial captivated the entire nation, and even though she walked free, letâs just say she didnât win any awards for being the regionâs friendliest neighbor. Her legend remains so deeply embedded in the New England psyche that her former home is now a bed-and-breakfast. Yes, you can stay the night at a murder house in New Englandâwhere else would this be considered a âfun getawayâ?
And donât even get me started on New Hampshire, which has more than its fair share of cold cases and unsolved mysteries. Itâs as if the entire state has its own eerie soundtrack that never quite stops playing.
Weather: Because You Weren't Miserable Enough Already
As if the spooky towns and unsolved murders werenât enough, New Englandâs weather also distinguishes it from the rest of the country. The winters are long, brutal, and just when you think spring is coming, it snows one last time just to spite you. When it isnât snowing, itâs rainingâjust to keep things moist and muddy. Seasonal Affective Disorder should practically be the state flower for most of New England. The weather here has the attitude of a moody teenager and the stamina of a marathon runner. Just a perfect backdrop for all that crime and mystery, donât you think?
New England Pride
Despite the weather, the history of crime, and the lingering sense that something is always just a little bit⌠off, New Englanders wouldnât have it any other way. This is the birthplace of American history, after all. New Englanders will proudly point out that theyâre just âbuilt differentlyââas in, capable of withstanding freezing temperatures, ruthless crime rates, and, yes, the occasional ghostly apparition. Theyâll also tell you that their sense of pride, community, and identity is as tough as the region itself.
In conclusion, New England might not be like the rest of the United States. Itâs not the vast, sun-soaked West or the sprawling, easy-living South. But itâs special in its own dark, eerie way. So if youâre planning to visit, bring a warm jacket, an appetite for chowder, and maybe a flashlightâjust in case. After all, the charm here comes with a healthy side of mystery and just a sprinkle of unresolved trauma. Welcome to New England!

Did you know that if one person sat down and watched this channel for the total number of hours viewed so far, it would take that person 521 years and 8 months? Who wants to give it a try? You'll have to let my great, great, great, great, great, great grand kids know when you are finished.
But if you were finishing today you started when this stuff was going on:
1)Age of Exploration: This was a prominent period of European exploration and colonization. Notably, in 1503, Christopher Columbus was on his fourth and final voyage to the New World, exploring Central America and facing significant hardships.
2)Italian Renaissance: The Renaissance was at its height, influencing art, culture, science, and thought across Europe. Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were active during this era, producing some of their most well-known works.
3)Wars in Italy: Italy was embroiled in a series of wars known as the Italian Wars (1494-1559), fought primarily between France and Spain, with the Pope and various Italian states becoming involved. In 1503, Pope Alexander VI died, and his successor, Pope Pius III, briefly took the papacy before dying himself that same year.
4)Spanish Conquest: Spain was consolidating its hold over territories in the Americas following the initial expeditions led by explorers like Columbus. Spanish colonization efforts and contact with indigenous populations would soon dramatically reshape the Americas.
5)Henry VII of England: In England, King Henry VII was consolidating power after winning the Wars of the Roses, laying the groundwork for the Tudor dynasty, and strengthening the economy through trade and legal reforms.
6)Economics and Trade: The global economy was being transformed by the increasing trade routes linking Europe, Africa, and the Americas, paving the way for more widespread exchanges of goods, technologies, and cultural practices.
7)Notable Births: The year 1503 saw the birth of Nostradamus, the French astrologer and seer whose prophecies would become famous.
In essence, it was a time of great exploration, shifting political power, Renaissance culture, and changes that would shape the modern world. Knowing all this, maybe it is important you watch more World According To Briggs videos.
Just sayin
