The region was home to many different Native American tribes prior to the arrival of the French explorers in the 17th centry. Tribes included Paleo, Mississippian, Oneota and Menominee. The land was taken by the British following the French-Indian War in 1763. Twenty years later Wisconsin became a U.S. territory after the American Revolutionary War, although Britain still controlled it until the conclusion of the War of 1812. After Native Americans were removed through two wars, Wisconsin became a state in 1848. The Republican Party was founded in the state by anti-slavery advocates six years later. Wisconsin is famous for its agriculture, freezing winters, beer, cheese, motorcycles and sports.
