02:04	at two nicknames that the state has . Yeah ,
02:09	north Carolina is called the tar heel state and north
02:14	Carolina is also called the Old North State . Pretty
02:18	cool nicknames . First of all , why is north
02:24	Carolina called the tar heel state ? Yeah , that's
02:27	an interesting nickname . Why is north Carolina called the
02:31	tar heel state . While there are a lot of
02:37	pine tree forests in the state of north Carolina ,
02:42	there is a sticky fluid that lives in pine trees
02:46	and other plants . To called sap sap from pine
02:53	trees can be used to make tar . Tar is
02:58	a thick , dark brown or black substance that can
03:02	be used for many different purposes . Mhm . In
03:08	colonial times , pine tar was used in ship building
03:13	. You see , the tar would seal the wooden
03:15	ship so that the wood wouldn't rot in the water
03:19	. Mhm . Mhm . For about 150 years ,
03:24	north Carolina lead the world in pine sap products like
03:29	tar , which is where the name the tar heel
03:32	state came from . Because there was so much tar
03:36	that was produced in north Carolina from the pine trees
03:42	. Very cool . Now , why is north Carolina
03:45	called the Old North Stay ? Well , north Carolina
03:51	and south Carolina used to be one . It used
03:54	to be called the Carolina colony . That's true .
03:58	The Carolina colony . Then in 17 10 they said
04:05	no more of this . Let's split this up .
04:08	Let's split this colony up . We'll have north Carolina
04:11	to the north , in south Carolina to the south
04:17	. North Carolina has been called the Old North State
04:21	ever since . Okay , now we are going to
04:26	look at the flag of the Old North State ,
04:29	the tar heel state north Carolina . Here is the
04:35	flag of the state of north Carolina . It's a
04:38	flag that has red , white and blue . Mhm
04:43	. Mhm . In the middle of the blue section
04:46	is a white star with the letter and on one
04:49	side and the letter C on the other representing the
04:52	initials of the state . And see There are also
04:57	two dates that are featured on the flag that are
05:00	very important to the history of North Carolina during the
05:03	time of the American Revolution . The first was the
05:07	Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence signed May 20 1775 , and
05:13	the Halifax resolves signed April 12 1776 , awesome .
05:23	Now we are going to locate two important places on
05:26	the map of North Carolina . The first place is
05:29	the city of Raleigh . Right here near the middle
05:32	of the state . Raleigh is the capital of north
05:35	Carolina , then a little further south and to the
05:39	west is the city of charlotte . Charlotte is the
05:43	largest city in north Carolina . Okay , here is
05:50	our final question . What is the state bird of
05:54	north Carolina ? The state bird of north Carolina is
05:59	the northern cardinal . The northern cardinal . It's an
06:03	easy birth to spot because of the red feathers .
06:07	Yeah , Northern cardinals love to sing and they are
06:13	very territorial . That means they protect the land that
06:17	they perceive as there's in fact they are so territorial
06:21	that a lot of times they run into windows because
06:23	they see their reflection and think it's another cardinal .
