What do the Spanish gain from sinking the USS Maine?
It remains quite unlikely that the Spanish sank the Maine on 15 February. It had been in the Harbor for three weeks when the explosion happened, and nine weeks after the sinking Spain declared War. The sinking of a single ship without other hostile activity seems does not appear to be an act of war. It was not a false flag action and it is also unlikely that Cuban Rebels could have been involved.

According to the encyclopedia Algonquian Indians were there first. Maine was then taken over and fought over between the French and the English. King James I laid claim to the land in 1606 and appointed land owners that did little to develop the land and in 1658 Massachusetts took over and in 1691 they made Maine part of MASS. There was a seperatist movement in 1816 where the people wanted back their land and in 1819 Maine won its independence from Mass. Maine would actually be larger had it not been for the land being divided way back to surrounding states including New Brunswick, Canada....
Which colony did Maine and Vermont belong to?

How did Maine get such a zigzag border with Quebec?
it is really more sinuous than purely zigzag
since it includes only 2 straight lines & actually wiggles about far more than it zigs or zags
but in any case
it is because the political decision was made in 1842 that the international border should follow
in parts
the saint francis & saint john rivers
& also
in much greater part
the watershed divide between the saint Lawrence & the rivers that flow into the gulf of Maine
& this latter southwesternmost portion of the border is presumably the area you find so extreme
but all rivers & watershed divides do tend to wander about quite a bit
& these are no exception to the general rule
Why are Maine and Nebraska elections not winner-take-all?

Who was the Rev Robert Jordan and what was his role in Maine?
The Jordan Memorial: Family Records of Rev. Robert Jordan, and His Descendants in America (1882)
---- The Rev. Robert Jordan, a priest of the church of England, came to Richmond's Island in Maine about the year 1640. Jordan probably divided Sunday ministrations between the Spurwink and Casco settlements and Saco. Excerpts from the genealogy are below.
"By his marriage with Sarah Winter, Mr. Jordan became one of the great land-proprietors and wealthy men of that region; 'a source of influence,' says a writer, 'which he failed not to exert in favor of his church and politics.' "The writer of an article in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, vol. xiii. p. 221, says of Mr. Robert Jordan: 'This gentleman and Rev. Richard Gibson were the pioneers of Episcopacy in Maine. Mr. Gibson left the country about the year 1642, but Jordan remained at the post of duty, and never relinquished his stand as a churchman or his professional character.'
Owing to his religious affinities and associations, Mr. Jordan was an object of suspicion and hostility to the Puritan government of Massachusetts, who forbade him to marry or baptize. He paid no attention to this order, and, continuing to discharge the duties of his office, the General Court of Massachusetts ordered his arrest and imprisonment in Boston jail. This occurred twice, namely, in 1654 and in 1663. "After his house in Spurwink was destroyed by Indians in King Philip's War, Jordan removed to Great Island (now Newcastle). He died in 1679 at Portsmouth, New Hampshire."
