I need some help with an essay I'm doing on Indiana. I'm having a really hard time finding info on it. If anyone knows enough info to use in a 5 paragraph essay, that would help a lot. I need some interesting facts.
Note: I'm doing an essay, not a report. Knowing things such as the state flower and stuff will not help me. Please tell me lots of info.
Thank you guys so much!
Also, it is INDIANA, a state in the US. Not the country India. Thanks to those that answered!
