Wisconsin's Connection to the American Revolution

While Wisconsin did not become a territory until 1836 and a state until 1848, its ties to the American Revolution go far deeper than may be apparent. Many will think of the 250th anniversary of our independence as something that happens in the original thirteen colonies but those who made it possible, and those who descended from them, continued to move westward and to serve their country in times of need.
