| - Wisconsin was first recognized as a state in 1848, when its first settlers, attracted by its fertile black soil, voted for admission into the United States. Their numbers were soon buffeted by German settlers fleeing central Europe in the wake of the failed revolutions of 1848. Wisconsin was a staunchly republican state and contributed many volunteers toward the Union during the 1st Civil War although the outbreak of veterans fever would keep many of them from ever seeing combat. Even in the wake of the Union’s defeat Wisconsin continued to prosper through both agriculture and mining. Wisconsin’s population exploded in a deluged of even more homesteading Germans, Swiss, Norwegians and Swedes. During this time period, Milwaukee emerged as the states principle metropolis becoming a center of great lakes industry, transit and commerce while taking on a subtly German character. Wisconsin was one of the birthplaces of progressivism, with Wisconsin native Robert Lafollette becoming a major reforming in both state and national politics. Unfortunately though such progressive reforms were only truly implemented in parts of the Midwest and Great Plains as the industrial barons fought savagely to keep them from being put into place. In the years before the fall of the GLC, Wisconsin immigration took a radical turn with Slavs, particularly Poles replacing Germans as the states largest incoming immigrant group this trend would continue even under the GLC as the polish dysphasia continued to flee Russia, Germany and Austria for American soil. As the united states collapsed, Wisconsin vainly attempted to support the existing government, but the state found itself cutoff and surrounded and could only watch as it found itself incorporated into another power.
