SEC country is America. That’s fact.
The Movoto Real Estate blog crunched numbers, analyzed data and then discovered the most patriotic states in the United States of America, ranking them 1-50. The entire south is in bright, bold red, meaning it claims patriotic superiority.
What else is new?
Here are the 10 most patriotic states in the nation, according to the study:
1. South Carolina
2. Maine
3. North Carolina
4. Wyoming
5. Virginia
6. Florida
7. Georgia
8. Alaska
9. Alabama
10. Arizona
Using data from sources including the 2012 U.S. Census, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Google Trends, Facebook, and Wikipedia, here’s the criteria that was used for the rankings:
- National Historic Landmarks per Capita
- Veterans per Capita
- Money Spent to Fund Veterans
- Percent of Residents That Voted in the Last Presidential Election
- People Who Google For American Flags to buy
- People Who List America as an Interest on Facebook
