My research question is why is Wisconsin called the Badger state? I am interested in learning more about the history of Wisconsin, not being from Wisconsin I don’t know very much about this state’s history. The question is important because I don’t think that very many people know why Wisconsin is known as the Badger state, especially our generation.

At this time I do not know very much about the history of Wisconsin. I am looking to gain more knowledge about the history of Wisconsin. Hearing badger, I think of UW Madison and their mascot the Bucky the Badger. Going to college, and living for the most part in Wisconsin it is important to learn about the history.
