Dailey Bailey: How Does Tennessee Stack Up Against Other States When It Come To Being Patriotic?

Just in time for the Fourth of July, it’s time to call out half of the states in this country for below average patriotism.  Shame.  Shame!

The website WalletHub apparently isn’t worried about offending lots of people, because they just ranked all 50 states by how patriotic they are.

The Volunteer State didn’t do as well as I thought it would have. Tennessee came in 33rd.

They used criteria like active military members and veterans per capita . . . the percentage of people who voted in the primaries . . . the volunteering rate . . . and even how often people do Google searches for American flags.

The 10 most patriotic states are:  Virginia . . . Alaska . . . South Carolina . . . Colorado . . . Georgia . . . Hawaii . . . Montana . . . Alabama . . . Washington . . . and New Hampshire.

And the 10 least patriotic states are:  New Jersey . . . Connecticut . . . New York . . . Rhode Island . . . Illinois . . . Massachusetts . . . Pennsylvania . . . California . . . Michigan . . . and Louisiana.
