Wisconsin was first inhabited by varied Indian tribes in the
17th century. They included the Algonquian-speaking
Menominee, Kickapoo, Miami, the Siouan-speaking Winnebago,
Dakota (or Sioux) and Iowa. In the mid-1600's other groups
entered Wisconsin, including the Fox, Sac, Potawatomi and
Ojibewa (Chippewa).
The Wisconsin region was first explored for France by Jean
Nicolet, who landed at Green Bay in 1634. Jean Nicolet, a
native of France, was the first explorer to reach the area
while searching for the Northwest Passage to China in 1634.
The French lost possession of Wisconsin and all of it's
territories east of the Mississippi to Great Britain during
the French and Indian War.
In 1660 a French trading post and Roman Catholic mission
were established near present-day Ashland.
Great Britain obtained the region in settlement of the
French and Indian Wars in 1763; British possession of
Wisconsin ended in 1783, when Britain signed the treaty
ending the American Revolution. Because the U.S. government
had no effective control over Wisconsin, it remained under
unofficial British control. Fur trade continued as the
foundation of Wisconsin's economy.
The first wave of American settlers in Wisconsin came in the
1820's as a result of a lead mining boom in northwest
Illinois and southwest Wisconsin. The movement of white
settlers into the Midwest caused intense conflict when the
federal government and settlers attempted to move Native
Americans from their lands. Federal policies included
uprooting entire tribes and forcing them to resettle west of
the Mississippi. When the Sac people tried to return in
1832, the Black Hawk war started ending in the Bad Axe
Massacre with less than 1000 Native Americans surviving.
Other Wisconsin tribes either left the area, or negotiated
reservation lands.
The region was successively governed as part of the
territories of Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan between 1800
and 1836, when it became a separate territory.
No longer having opposition from the Native Americans, a
second wave of settlers came to Wisconsin and in 1836 the
Wisconsin Territory was organized. Around the 1840's a third
wave of settlers came to Wisconsin, attracted by good
farmland. At that time the state became the nation's leading
wheat producer. On May 29, 1848, Wisconsin was admitted to
the Union as the 30th state.
In 1634, Frenchman Jean Nicolet became Wisconsin's first
European explorer, landing at Red Banks, near modern-day
Green Bay in search of a passage to the Orient. The French
controlled the area until 1763, when it was ceded to the
British.
After the American Revolutionary War, Wisconsin was a part
of the U.S. Northwest Territory. It was then governed as
part of Indiana Territory, Illinois Territory, and Michigan
Territory. Settlement began when the first two public land
offices opened in 1834.[1] Wisconsin Territory was organized
on July 3, 1836 and became the 30th state on May 29, 1848.
Much of the state's political history involved coalitions
among different ethic groups. The most famous controversy
dealt with foreign language teaching in schools, public and
private. This was fought out in the Bennett Law campaign of
1890, when the Germans switched to the Democrats, who won a
major victory. Wisconsin's political history encompasses, on
the one hand, Fighting Bob La Follette and the Progressive
movement; and on the other, Joe McCarthy, the controversial
anti-Communist censured by the Senate during the 1950s. The
first Socialist mayor of a large city in the United States
was Emil Seidel, elected mayor of Milwaukee in 1910; another
Socialist, Daniel Hoan, was mayor of Milwaukee from 1916 to
1940.
The state mineral is Galena, otherwise known as lead
sulfide, which reflects Wisconsin's early mining history.
Many town names such as Mineral Point recall a period in the
1820s, 1830s, and 1840s when Wisconsin was an important
mining state. When Indian treaties opened up southwest
Wisconsin to settlement, thousands of miners — many of them
immigrants from Cornwall, England — flocked to southern
Wisconsin in what could almost be termed a "lead rush." At
one point Wisconsin produced more than half of the nation's
lead. During the boom it appeared that southwest Wisconsin
might become the population center of the state, and Belmont
was briefly the state capital. By the 1840s the easily
accessible deposits were worked out, and experienced miners
were drawn out of Wisconsin by the California Gold Rush.
This period of mining before and during the early years of
statehood directly led to the development of state's
nickname, the "Badger State". Many miners and their families
lived in the mines in which they worked until adequate
above-ground shelters were built and were thus compared to
Badgers. |
