LOL....
Some of us downsaters wonder if winning that piece of land was really a good thing.
Of course now we can claim a certain brewbabe as our own, so I guess that's not all bad!

Ive mentioned this for years and I've only found one history professor to acknowledge it.
I usually get a weird look, and utter disbelief.
Same thing happened when mentioning the Toledo War (territory fight for the Toledo strip). Happy to see that one mentioned in there too.
This brings back memories of History teachers and professors being dismissive when questioned and not researching on their own if they didn't read it in a textbook. lovely public schools. haha

A writer was on NPR recently, he wrote a book on the history behind states' borders, fun stuff!
There were valuable commercial water trade routes, apparently.

That's funny, I had no idea this happened. My history classes all concentrated on the war of 1812. I wonder what things would look like now if there was a Republic of Michigan sitting there.

Spoiler Alert: The article is a fake, the guy made it all up, even down to the footnotes...I posted it because it just goes to show how fallible Wikipedia is.
So the education system didn't completely fail me? That's nice to know!
