The history of Wisconsin exemplifies the standard formula
for westward expansion. Seventeenth-century French and British explorers
began by trading with the Native Americans and soon ousted them from their
land. The European settlers who followed - predominantly Germans,
Scandinavians and Poles - tended to be liberal and progressive; such major
national social programs as labor laws for women and children, assistance
for the elderly and the disabled, and unemployment compensation were
rooted here. On the downside, Sen. Joseph McCarthy, the infamous 1950s
witch-hunter, was born in Grand Chute, former headquarters of the
right-wing John Birch Society.
Wisconsin today is best known for its liquids. The milk from all those
cattle yields cheeses of all kinds, while the beer, as the song says, is
what made
Milwaukee famous. Sparkling
Madison apart, Wisconsin's other cities -
La Crosse,
Green Bay,
Oshkosh - can veer toward the dull side, but
they're also clean, safe and amiable. The smaller towns can be distinctive
and charming. |
