Happy birthday, Michigan!

178 years ago today, Michigan officially became a state, in what we think was a fabulous deal for the United States.

In the nearly two centuries since, Michigan has provided lumber, copper, iron, cars and more.

Its soldiers filled ranks of the Union Army during the Civil War; its factory workers toiled round-the-clock to manufacture arms and equipment that helped win World War II.
