Facts of History:

• We built Fort Snelling to enforce laws but not to fight.
• St. Paul was filled with mainly men around the 1840s until the first women came- Harriet Bishop.
• St. Paul was called "Pigs Eye Landing."
• In 1858 Minnesota was the fastest populating state in the U.S.A.
• Being that our state was populated we got a governor named Henry Sibley.

" We have land we have lakes, we have everything that it takes."

Fort Snelling was used to enforce laws and keep peace between tribes and nations.

Harriet was the first women to create education in Minnesota. Her first school was muddy and dirty in a blacksmith shop in St. Paul/ Pigs eye Landing. Harriet also Ran the first sun day school, along with women groups for money and she started a temperance group to ban alcohol from the choices others have made. So basically she made education and enforced kids to be Christian too.

Some ways I think some people could travel from the east is to ride or drive in steam boats through rivers and lakes.
