This was not a war over a city. It was over a rich piece of farm land in 1835-36.

The one with the most dates and information.
Toledo Strip



some of the others.

But look what Michigan got in return...Upper Michigan, a cold, God forsaken, wasteland, inhabated by hostle natives, Wolverenes , and Big Foot !... If that's not enough , try all that snow, nobody wants, and all the tax dollars you downstate folks keep sending up here, so we can plow the white stuff.
Then there is all the nourishment our Yooper folks need to survive, the infrastructure for so few travelers, and the wasted vastness while the rest of you down under enjoy all the good life, the cities and the rich farm land.
I won't talk about our mineral wealth, our forests , our recrecreation lakes and bays. ... I think Michigan got a real deal , even though we are at the end of the earth , or , at lest , you can see it from here in this vast wasteland called the U.P.

They said the same thing about Alaska, when Seward brokered the deal with Russia....
The facts have proven those naysayers wrong , but , still today , there are quite a few folks who would agree if the choice were offered again...
So much of Upper Michigan's natural wealth has been raped , exploited , runned, and hauled out of here, for the benifit of the industrlists. What they left behind , we are still paying for.
