Illinois State Capitol Tour in Springfield (HD)
We got a chance to tour the beautiful Illinois State Capitol building, which was constructed in 1868, in Springfield. It is a National Register of Historic Places. Across the street was a Martin Luther King statue, then at the grounds before the building itself, we saw a Abraham Lincoln and a Stephen Douglas statue. Inside the Illinois Statehouse, there was a lady statue representing the Illinois Welcoming the World message. The rotunda high ceiling was very impressive, as are the floors and stairs which are made of stone and marble.
Second and third floor had statues of former presidents highlighted by President Lincoln, plus a huge painting depicting George Rogers Clark negotiating with Native Americans at Fort Kaskaskia. There are also wall carvings depicting meetings of US personnel with native Americans in the past.
Overall this is a very impressive State Capitol Building that definitely deserves a visit. We also visited the Lincoln Home National Historic Site nearby- see our tour video of it here:

The US is not the safest place in the world to live. In certain cities, the presence of violent street gangs and/or a bustling drug trade have caused the streets to become a dangerous place to be.
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Minneapolis is the biggest city in Minnesota. Once upon a time, it was the flour milling capital of the world, and it's home to a rich artisitic culture. Prince was born in Minneapolis, and Bob Dylan got his start in the city as well.
Anchorage, Alaska
The Municipality of Anchorage is, in all rights, a peaceful city. Which is an accomplishment considering it's the most populated city in Alaska. The city has been named an All-America City four times, one of eight cities in the US to be given the title that many times.
Springfield, Illinois
Springfield, Illinois is the capital of the state, and also not the only springfield to be on this list, . Let's get into some history, as Springfield is known for it's rich civil war history. President Abraham Lincoln began his political career in the city, and when the civil war started, regiments of union troops were trained there.
Springfield, Massachussets
This is the first Springfield in the US. There are many Springfields like it, but this one is the first. It's also the birthplace of basketball, and the home of the Smith & Wesson firearm manufacturing company.
Little Rock, Arkansas
You might think Arkansas is a just a peaceful southern state where nothing ever really happens... and you'd actually be right for the most part. Some of it's more populated cities do have some issues with crime, like Forrest City or West Helena, but the majority of the state is just huge fields and friendly little towns.
Atlanta, Georgia
The capital of Georgia was established in 1837, quickly building itself up after the civil war. The city became known for it's realitvely progressive views concerning the black population following the Civil Rights Movement, being called a city too busy to hate, and busy it is, being the 36th most influencial city in the world.
Washington, District of Columbia
Ah, the capital of the United States. Washington D.C. is full of landmarks and muesems, and is the home of our goverment. It's also it's own federal district, and not a part of any other state, essentially making the city it's own entity. For these I have made Top 5 Most Dangerous City In USA(Detroit, St. Louis, Oakland) by different research in Google Wikipedia and newspaper.
Stockton, California
Here we go, the first city in Calfornia on the list. Stockton has an annual violent crime rate of 4,080. There were about as many murders in Stockton in 2016 as there were in San Jose in 2016.
Chicago, Illinois
You knew Chicago was going to be on this list. In 2014, Chicago's murder rate was 18.5 per 100,000 people, making it higher than New York City and Los Angeles. The majority of the violence comes from the presence of the Sinaloa Cartel that operates heavily in the city. In have also given brief description in
Top 5 Most Dangerous City In USA(Detroit, St. Louis, Oakland).
Detroit, Michigan
Detroit was the murder capital of the US from 1985 to 1987, with 58 murders per 100,000 citizens. This murder rate was no doubt an inspiration for the classic movie Robocop, which takes place in a fictionalized dystopian future-detroit.
Detroit has been on many most dangerous cities lists, and is currently the number 1 most dangerous city in the U.S. This is a very controversial ranking, with several professors and criminologists saying that the ranking system used by CQ Press is flawed in that it doesn't factor in many things, like how only certain neighborhoods are really bad, and so on. I hope you all like my video named Top 5 Most Dangerous City In USA(Detroit, St. Louis, Oakland).
