阿肯色 (Arkansas) 成為美國一州
1836年6月15日
富產棉花的阿肯色是一個蓄奴州。在內戰期間，阿肯色也加入南方聯盟。許多戰爭都發生在該州的邊界，例如「法葉村大包圍」 (Siege
of Fayetteville) 即是一例。1957年，一群阿肯色州的國民兵試圖阻擋當第一所公立高中廢除種族隔離的作為，導致聯邦軍隊必須進入首都小石鎮維持秩序，而後阿肯色州內部的種族隔離現象才宣告結束。
今日，阿肯色州已經有許多繁榮的工業。阿肯色州幾乎有一半都是森林，同時還有許多遊客喜歡到這裡欣賞美麗的湖泊。你知道有哪一位美國總統是來自阿肯色州嗎？
Arkansas, rich in cotton, was a slave-holding state. During the Civil War, it became a Confederate state. Many battles took place within its borders, such as the siege of Fayetteville. Years of racial segregation ended in Arkansas in 1957, when federal troops entered the capital city of Little Rock to maintain order after the state militia tried to stop the desegregation of a public high school there.
Today Arkansas has many thriving industries. Almost half the state is forest, with lovely lakes that are popular tourist destinations. Do you know which president comes from Arkansas?
