明尼蘇達 (Minnesota) 成為美國第32州
1858年5月11日
以「萬湖州」著稱的明尼蘇達在1858年5月11日成為美國的第32州。這一州為什麼很重要呢?首先,這裡的水路運輸對於該州與美國的經濟都是很重要的。除了這裡有許多湖泊之外,明尼蘇達也是密西西比河最北的終點,同時也是貫穿大湖區到大西洋的聖羅倫斯航道的西部終點站。
Known as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes," Minnesota became the 32nd state in the Union on May 11, 1858. What makes this state important? For one, its waterways are vital to the state's and the nation's economies. Besides its quantity of lakes, it is the northernmost stop of the Mississippi River and the westernmost point of the St. Lawrence Seaway, which runs through the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean.
