History Project - African Americans
In 1746 the commander of the French garrison at
Green Bay brought a black slave with him.
In 1760, historian William Smith estimated that at that time the
population was about five hundred Negro slaves."
Not all African Americans involved in the fur trade were slaves.
In 1791 two free black traders opened a post at Marinette. Near that same time a
black fur trader named Jean Baptiste Pointe du Sable was well known to
Wisconsin's first white settlers.
87 percent of Black women said faith in God is vital, compared to
79 percent of Black men, 66 percent of White women, and 51 percent of White
men.
Researchers contend that Black women with this faith were raised
by mothers who shared this same faith, often attending church all day on
Sundays.

If the state of Wisconsin gets warmer every year, then during the
winter seasons the Ice will melt more and more every year until the Ice is gone
like in Madison this is happening already and the Ice fishing season is getting
shorter every year! If the state of Wisconsin got colder, some of the plants
would not grow and the water would be too cold to swim in and bees would not
want to leave the hive. If Wisconsin kept on getting colder every year, this
means that there are no bees pollinating the plants like trees and flowers. If
the state of Wisconsin happens to change then the African Americans who like to
trap will not want to live in Wisconsin because the animals that can be trapped
won’t be able to survive thus the number if African Americans in Wisconsin will
decrease.

Madison lakes’ getting less ice per year is from http://climatewisconsin.org/, here is where some more
