Illinois 21st

On Dec 3, 1818:

Illinois becomes the 21st state .....The vast emptiness of the Illinois prairie was eagerly growing by both the pioneers and  the farmers plows. The soil in the state of Illinois was known as one of the most fertile agriculture states. Known now, as the "Corn State"   Have you lived in any other state other than Illinois? Have you ever been to Springfield, our capital?
