Rhode Island was a notorious hold out during the period of the Constitutional convention, and has played an equally large role in the country's affairs in the two centuries since. As a result, this tiny state smaller than most large cities has a lot to answer for. Let us begin:

• The Little State that Couldn’t

• In Texas, we’d be lucky to be a county
• Plantations aren’t just for Mississippi
• We make Connecticut look huge
• No, We're Not Surrounded by Water
• We Don't Know Why It's Called "Island" Either
• The island state that really isn't an island
