Ohio

Once a forested wilderness but now filled with cities, factories, mines, and farms, Ohio has worked hard to protect its wildlife. The state fought on the Union side during the Civil War because many Ohioans were against slavery. The Underground Railroad was active in the state. Now about 80 percent of Ohio's people live in its many cities, including Cleveland, where the Rock and Roll-Hall of Fame displays many treasures. The birthplace of leaders in both politics and space exploration, Ohio has contributed to U.S. history seven presidents and two famous astronauts: John Glenn and Neil Armstrong.
