History

Wisconsin is known for its history. It became a state on May29th 1848. It is the 30th state. The state flower is a wood violet and the state bird is the American Robin. Its nickname is The Badger State. The motto is “Forward”.

In 1634 a French explorer Jean Nicolet was the first European to find Wisconsin. In a canoe he made his way to the Great Lakes. He found Lake Michigan instead of the Northwest Passage. He made a friendship with the Winnebago. In 1673 two explorers Louis Jolliet and Jacques Marquette found the fox and the Wisconsin rivers. One of the rivers led them to Mississippi. In 1783, Britain signed the ending the **American Revolution **. Due to the U.S. government they had no effective control over Wisconsin. It remained under British control. Fur trade continued in Wisconsin's economy. In the 1820's the **lead mining boom ** occurred in northwest Illinois and southwest Wisconsin. This movement of white settlers into the Midwest caused intense fighting when the federal government and settlers rearranged to move Native Americans from their territory. Federal policies included uprooting tribes and forcing them to resettle west of the Mississippi. However you know that Wisconsin is well known for its history.
