However, the history of Wisconsin is so much more than just exhibits in museums. The 30th state has a long, rich story behind its modern-day facade. Thousands of years ago, ancient peoples hunted giant beasts on the frozen glaciers. These glaciers have now given way to rivers and lakes. Rich cultures populated the frigid early forests of Wisconsin, eventually giving way to the arrival of French explorers. Soon, the British took over, ushering in an era of booming colonization, and Wisconsin saw its first recorded war. With the American Revolution, Wisconsin became free.

Free History BONUS Inside!

California’s transformation into the most populous state in America was certainly no accident. It became the home of some of the country’s richest citizens, spread amongst Silicon Valley and Hollywood. California has always been one of the most diverse and multicultural states in the United States. This diversity existed way before it was a state at all and even before the arrival of the Europeans.

California’s rugged yet diverse terrain influenced the first settlers. They spread into hundreds of different tribes. Each tribe had its own lifestyle, religion, diet, and culture. Much of this was based on the landscape they ended up in. Thousands of years passed. Then, the Spaniards arrived slowly. They colonized the land and converted thousands of Native Americans. They established missions and villages in many of the cities we know today. These cities include San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, and more.

Over the course of the 18th century, California truly developed into the state we know it as today. Within the century, the region passed through the hands of the Spaniards and the Republic of Mexico. Finally, the United States of America acquired it by warring over California’s fertile and diverse lands.
