More unique than I expected!

Also I think that the time should be reduced to 3 Minutes as you can practically type all the states.

Europeans directly came from Europe. White Americans already lived in the USA/13C/Canada... and moved to another part of the country.

What is the source for this? Idaho had earlier white settlements - Cataldo mission, for one.

But places like Fort Hall seem like they should count, was held by the original founder from 1834-37, which should satisfy the 2 year. requirement.
