Wisconsin is a U.S. state located in the north-central United States and is considered part of the Midwest.
It is bordered by Minnesota to the west, Iowa to the southwest, Illinois to the south, Lake Michigan to the east, Upper Michigan to the
northeast, and Lake Superior to the north. Wisconsin's capital is Madison, and its largest city is Milwaukee. As of 2008 the state has an
estimated 5.6 million residents.
The word Wisconsin has its origins in the name given to the Wisconsin River by one of the Algonquian speaking American Indian groups living
in the region at the time of European contact. French explorer Jacques Marquette was the first European to reach the Wisconsin River and
record its name, arriving in 1673 and calling the river Meskousing in his journal. This spelling was later corrupted to Ouisconsin by
other French explorers, and over time this version became the French name for both the Wisconsin River and the surrounding lands. English
speakers anglicized the spelling to its modern form when they began to arrive in greater numbers during the early 19th Century. The current
spelling was made official by the legislature of Wisconsin Territory in 1845.
The modern day Republican Party was founded on March 20, 1854 by anti-slavery expansion activists in Ripon, Wisconsin, the party then grew
to dominate state politics in the aftermath of these events. During the Civil War, around 91,000 troops from Wisconsin fought for the Union.
