It’s easy to laugh at official state slogans when they’re really not accurate at all. Case and point—Arkansas was once named the “Land of Opportunity.” That’s why we’ve created a list of what each state’s slogan should actually be. Take a look, have a laugh and don’t take these (or life) too seriously.
Enjoy, and please let us know what you think in the comments!
