* PretextForWar: Yes, Toledo almost came to that in 1835-36. The state of Ohio and the territory of Michigan both wanted the "Toledo strip", the strip of land bordering Michigan and Ohio including Toledo - and the dispute came to the point where both Michigan and Ohio assembled their militias. Finally the Federal government intervened before anyone got hurt and they gave the Toledo strip to Ohio - Ohio was a swing state, so President Andrew Jackson wanted to keep Ohio happy, and Michigan was still just a territory. Michigan was given statehood and that upper peninsula it still has today, which ended up being rich in resources. (So who ''really'' lost? Wisconsin!)

Toledo, Ohio is the fourth most populous city in the U.S. state of Ohio and is the county seat of Lucas County. Toledo is in northwest Ohio, on the western end of Lake Erie, and borders the State of Michigan. The city was founded in 1833 on the west bank of the Maumee River, originally incorporated as part of Monroe County, Michigan Territory, then re-founded in 1837, after conclusion of the Toledo War[[hottip:*:Yes, Ohio and Michigan has a bloodless conflict over the city. Their militias were called in though - it ''could'' have gotten ugly.]], when it was incorporated in Ohio. Toledo grew quickly as a result of the Miami and Erie Canal and its position on the railway line between New York and Chicago.
