This poster of nicknames for the states, was put out by a feed company in 1884.
I put it in a new thread because it's so big, and any smaller I couldn't read the names.

Delaware: "musk rat"

Undertoad · 02-05-2017, 01:16 PM

Geez, "Tar heels" and "Badgers" stuck around, why didn't "Puke" as a nickname for Missouri?

Those Knickerbockers are encroaching on Pennite territory.

Pennists.

Heh, he said pennist.

That's cool UT, thank you!
Since the feed company who did this was in the neighboring state, Puke was probably a friendly poke in the eye. Then again there might have been some bitterness because Missouri was a claimed confederate state.

In 1940, the Council Against Intolerance in America commissioned artist Emma Bourne to produce a map (with no state boundaries) to illustrate how the US was a nation of migrants. The red banners show broadly where various groups of people settled and mark their religious and ethnic backgrounds.
