Good morning, it’s Tuesday, May 11, 2021. On this date in 1858, Minnesota was admitted to the Union as the 32
nd state. With the possible exception of Massachusetts, the “Land of 10,000 Lakes” was the most anti-slavery state in America.
In those days Minnesota was also known as “Star of the North,” which it lived up to as soon as the Civil War began. The state s governor, Alexander Ramsey, was in Washington when Fort Sumter was bombarded in April 1861 and was among the first to answer President Lincoln’s call for 75,000 federal troops. Ramsey promised 10,000 from Minnesota alone, but the state actually produced 22,000 volunteers that first year.
