Earlier this summer, investment website Wallet Hub released an article ranking the 50 states in order of patriotism, with Kansas coming in at no. 22. Umm, investment site say what?! Since we disagree with Kansas coming in toward the middle of the list, we have compiled a list of our own showing why Kansas is actually one of the most patriotic states in the country! Our 11 reasons include:
- Kansans love to lend a helping hand.

- (Most) Kansans still believe in the Second Amendment and their right to bear arms.
