明尼苏达 (Minnesota) 成为美国第32州
1858年5月11日
以「万湖州」着称的明尼苏达在1858年5月11日成为美国的第32州。这一州为什么很重要呢？首先，这里的水路运输对于该州与美国的经济都是很重要的。除了这里有许多湖泊之外，明尼苏达也是密西西比河最北的终点，同时也是贯穿大湖区到大西洋的圣罗伦斯航道的西部终点站。
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.
