What's interesting about the Toledo War is that, in return for giving up the Toledo Strip, Michigan was granted its statehood and given the Upper Peninsula as a compromise. At the time in 1836, it was seen as a loss for Michigan since most of the Upper Peninsula was Indian territory. Similarly,  The Pig War was a dispute in 1859 about where the boundary between the US and Canada should be between Washington and Vancouver Island. The blue line was favoured by the US, the red line was favoured by Britain/Canada, and the green line was the compromise. animal math fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Feb 2, 2013 |
