Background: Mackinac Island ( MAK-in-aw) is an island and resort area, covering 3.8 square miles (9.8 km2) in land area, in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is located in Lake Huron, at the eastern end of the Straits of Mackinac, between the state's Upper and Lower Peninsulas. The island was home to an Odawa settlement before European exploration began in the 17th century. It served a strategic position as a center on the commerce of the Great Lakes fur trade.
Context: During the War of 1812, the British captured the fort in the Siege of Fort Mackinac, the first battle of the conflict, because the Americans had not yet heard that war had been declared. The victorious British attempted to protect their prize by building Fort George on the high ground behind Fort Mackinac. In 1814, the Americans and British fought a second battle on the north side of the island. The American second-in-command, Major Andrew Holmes, was killed and the Americans failed to recapture the island.  Despite this outcome, the Treaty of Ghent of 1815 forced the British to return the island and surrounding mainland to the U.S. The United States reoccupied Fort Mackinac, and renamed Fort George as Fort Holmes, after Major Holmes. Fort Mackinac remained under the control of the United States government until 1895 and provided volunteers to defend the Union during the American Civil War. The fort was used as a prison for three Confederate States of America sympathizers.  John Jacob Astor's American Fur Company was centered on Mackinac Island after the War of 1812 and exported beaver pelts for thirty years. By the middle of the 19th century, commercial fishing for common whitefish and lake trout began to replace the fur trade as the island's primary industry. As sport fishing became more popular in the 1880s, hotels and restaurants accommodated tourists coming by train or lake boat from Detroit.  Following the Civil War, the island became a popular tourist destination for residents of cities on the Great Lakes. Much of the federal land on Mackinac Island was designated as the second national park, Mackinac National Park, in 1875, just three years after Yellowstone National Park was named as the first national park. To accommodate an influx of tourists in the 1880s, the boat and railroad companies built hotels, including the Grand Hotel. Souvenir shops began to spring up as a way for island residents to profit from the tourists. Many wealthy business magnates built summer "cottages" along the island's bluffs for extended stays. When the federal government left the island in 1895, all of the federal land, including Fort Mackinac, was given to the state of Michigan and became Michigan's first state park. The Mackinac Island State Park Commission appointed to oversee the island has limited private development in the park and requires leaseholders to maintain the island's distinctive Victorian architecture.  Motor vehicles were restricted at the end of the 19th century because of concerns for the health and safety of the island's residents and horses after local carriage drivers complained that automobiles startled their horses. This ban continues to the present with exceptions only for emergency and construction vehicles. CANNOTANSWER

Bakgrund: Mackinac Island (MAK-in-aw) är en ö och resortområde, som omfattar 3,8 kvadratkilometer (9,8 km2) i landareal, i den amerikanska delstaten Michigan. Den ligger i Huronsjön, i östra änden av Mackinacsundet, mellan delstatens Övre och Nedre halvön. Ön var hem för en Odawabosättning innan europeisk utforskning påbörjades på 1600-talet. Den tjänade en strategisk position som centrum för handeln med pälshandeln vid de stora sjöarna. Sammanhang: Under 1812 års krig intog britterna fortet i Belägringen av Fort Mackinac, det första slaget i konflikten, eftersom amerikanerna ännu inte hade hört att krig hade förklarats. De segrande britterna försökte skydda sitt pris genom att bygga Fort George på hög mark bakom Fort Mackinac. År 1814 utkämpade amerikanerna och britterna ett andra slag på öns norra sida. Den amerikanske andrebefälhavaren, major Andrew Holmes, dödades och amerikanerna misslyckades med att återerövra ön. Trots detta resultat tvingade fördraget i Gent från 1815 britterna att återlämna ön och omgivande fastland till USA. USA återockuperade Fort Mackinac, och döpte om Fort George till Fort Holmes, efter major Holmes. Fort Mackinac förblev under USA:s regering kontroll fram till 1895 och tillhandahöll frivilliga för att försvara unionen under amerikanska inbördeskriget. Fortet användes som fängelse för tre konfedererade stater Amerikas sympatisörer. John Jacob Astors amerikanska pälskompani var centrerat på Mackinac Island efter 1812 års krig och exporterade bäverpäls i trettio år. Vid 1800-talets mitt började kommersiellt fiske efter vanlig sik och öring ersätta pälshandeln som öns primärindustri. I takt med att sportfisket blev mer populärt på 1880-talet tog hotell och restauranger emot turister som kom med tåg eller sjöbåt från Detroit. Efter inbördeskriget blev ön ett populärt turistmål för invånare i städer vid de stora sjöarna. En stor del av förbundslandet på Mackinac Island utsågs till den andra nationalparken, Mackinac National Park, 1875, bara tre år efter att Yellowstone National Park utsågs till den första nationalparken. För att rymma en tillströmning av turister på 1880-talet byggde båt- och järnvägsbolagen hotell, bland annat Grand Hotel. Souvenirbutiker började växa fram som ett sätt för öborna att dra nytta av turisterna. Många förmögna affärsmagnater byggde sommar "boskap" längs öns bluffar för förlängda vistelser. När den federala regeringen lämnade ön 1895 gavs hela det federala landet, inklusive Fort Mackinac, till delstaten Michigan och blev Michigans första delstatspark. Den Mackinac Island State Park Commission som utsetts för att övervaka ön har begränsad privat utveckling i parken och kräver att arrendatorn ska upprätthålla öns distinkta viktorianska arkitektur. Motorfordon begränsades i slutet av 1800-talet på grund av oro för hälsa och säkerhet för öns invånare och hästar efter att lokala vagnförare klagat över att bilar skrämde deras hästar. Detta förbud fortsätter hittills med undantag endast för nöd- och byggnadsfordon. CANNOTANSWER Fråga: Vad gjorde detta för honom Svar:

Motor vehicles were restricted in the late 19th century due to concerns about the health and safety of island residents and horses after local wagon drivers complained that cars frightened their horses. This ban continues so far, with the exception of emergency and construction vehicles only. Question: What did this do for him Answer:
