How did the Upper peninsula become part of Michigan?
In 1835 Michigan was denied becoming a state. They claimed 468 square miles of Ohio called "Toledo Strip". This was due to a poor understanding of geographical markers around the Great Lakes. Ohio and the territory of Michigan fought over the "Toledo Strip" in a battle called "The Toledo War"(1835-1836). Militias were formed, but there was only one report of a shot being fired. In December 1836 after being in a bad financial state as well as pressure from President Andrew Jackson, and Congress, Michigan agreed to give up the Toledo Strip and accept the Upper Peninsula as part of Michigan. It was thought that Michigan got a terrible deal until rich deposits of minerals and other natural resources were discovered there.
