阿肯色 (Arkansas) 成为美国一州
1836年6月15日
富产棉花的阿肯色是一个蓄奴州。在内战期间，阿肯色也添加南方联盟。许多战争都发生在该州的边界，例如「法叶村大包围」 (Siege
of Fayetteville) 即是一例。1957年，一群阿肯色州的国民兵试图阻挡当第一所公立高中废除种族隔离的作为，导致联邦军队必须进入首都小石镇维持秩序，而后阿肯色州内部的种族隔离现象才宣告退出。
今日，阿肯色州已经有许多繁荣的工业。阿肯色州几乎有一半都是森林，同时还有许多游客喜欢到这里欣赏美丽的湖泊。你知道有哪一位美国总统是来自阿肯色州吗？
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?
