The Toledo War was more chaotic than I thought.

In the mid-1800s, one bad map ultimately sent Michigan and Ohio to war with each other. The story is more chaotic and downright funny than I thought, and involves everything from a boy governor to a scheming president to a tavern brawl. So, buckle up.
(If you've ever wondered why the Upper Peninsula is part of Michigan and not Wisconsin - or why the UP isn't its own state - that also has a weird amount to do with the city of Toledo, Ohio.)

Hey, there! Question for you: Out of curiosity, what's your take on this? Would you have sided with Ohio or Michigan in this whole thing? (I don't know if there's necessarily a right answer here.)

I think I'm with Ohio on this one. Hear me out... Ohio was made a state and drew up its constitution with the best maps of the time. Then in the future something changes. If we look at this like a law being passed then it's understandable that you can't retroactively apply a law. Like you can't punish someone for something they did before a law was created. So, to me, why "punish" Ohio for following the best information it had at the time.

I was born and raised in Toledo. I always felt that we were more a part of Michigan, especially economically and geographically, if not politically. Was always a sports fan of the Tigers, Red Wings, and Lions. The UP has been our favorite vacation destination for many decades. I think Michigan and Ohio were both big winners in this “war.” Thanks for this great video.

I grew up in Wisconsin, Right on the Michigan border. I learned that "Oi-scon-sin" in one of the Algonquian languages means "Land between the waters". Now even as a child that didn't make sense to me. Clearly to the east there is a great body of water we call Lake Michigan but what significant water body is on the western side? The Mississippi River? Or perhaps the Pacific Ocean? Neither fits very well. None of my teachers could provide a satisfactory answer. I had also heard of the squabble between Ohio and Michigan but that was in a separate drawer so I never correlated the two. It turns out that what was called Wisconsin referred to what we now call the Upper Peninsula which is clearly a land between great waters, Lakes Michigan and Superior. For convenience sake this was called the Wisconsin Territory and a lot of territory got lumped in with it including the land today called the state of Wisconsin. When the settlement of the dispute between Michigan and Ohio was granted the UP largely lost its moniker as the land between the waters and when the rest of the Wisconsin territory became a state in 1848 it took the name. Btw Michigan , Also Algonquian, means great water, in reference to the lake.

Just found your channel the other day (the Edmund Fitzgerald video), and I've learned a lot so far. Keep up the good work. When you mentioned the name "Two Stickney", I thought it was unusual, but let it slide because the early 1800s were tough times (See anything to do with Andrew Jackson)... Then you said that his brother was "ONE Stickney" and I about fell out of my chair. Either their folks had no imagination whatsoever, or they just didn't like their kids very much. For the heck of it, I can see this war being turned into a Broadway musical. When Two Stickney stabs Joseph Wood, he could sing a slightly altered Johnny Cash tune, "A Boy Named Two". I will now see myself to the door.
@drzarkov39
@drzarkov39 Год назад
The idea for "A Boy Named Two" was based on Sue Hicks, a man who is best known for his role as a co-instigator and prosecutor in the 1925 trial of John T. Scopes, a Dayton, Tennessee teacher accused of teaching the Theory of Evolution in violation of Tennessee state law. Also, I know some Italian families name their first son Primo. and their second son Secundo. I wonder if a third son would be named Turdo.

There's an Ohio Historical Society marker on Route 109 just south of the state line that commemorates the closest thing the Toledo War had to an actual battle (The Battle of Philips Corners). The barn next to the marker finally fell in on itself after years of weather damage, and a large truck has been parked in front of the marker.

Very well done. Two points I would like to add: 1) The Ohio claim was based on a boundary that was surveyed by an ex governor of Ohio. 2) We actually got the Western UP BACK. Previous to 1836; the Michigan Territory had grown to include all of present day Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and the part of the Dakotas east of the Missouri.

To hear the wolves a howlin' scared the poor devil so, he said before he'd fight us, he'd give up toledo!" (Or something like that, it was apparently a marching song for the militia)

I am a Pittsburgher. I aways felt Pittsburgh should be part of West Virginia. George Washington from Virginia chased the French out. Pittsburgh has very little in common with Philadelphia. There is a mountain range between us. They all speak like Syl. Stallone, not normal Pittsburghese. Troops from Philadelphia came twice to Pittsburgh in order to settle revolts. The Whiskey Rebellion which was because there were no road going to market in the east, so farmers made Whiskey, because it was easier to ship, then wheat. In 1877, the Philadelphia based Pennsylvania Railroad Road cut the number of brakemen. Before George Westinghouse a Pittsburgher invented air brakes to stop trains. Brakemen had to climb on top of Railroad cars and turn wheel that stop that car. Next the brakemen had to run over the top of the car to the next car until the train stopped. Brakemen was a dangerous job. Philadelphia sent the Pennsylvania Nation Guard to stop the strike. The Pa. Nation Guard made a big mistake, they entered Pittsburgh on a Saturday. The Steel workers, Glass workers and Railroad workers. Stationed themselves on a hill over the Railroad yard. They pinned down the Pa. Nation Guard in their Railroad cars. A riot happened and destroyed all the Railroad yard. Then of course there was the Homestead Strike
