This 1838 map shows Michigan Territory before it became a state. Unfortunately, some of the boundaries weren’t well-defined, causing the state of Ohio and the territory of Michigan to fight over a less than 500-square-mile piece of land called the Toledo Strip that encompassed modern-day Toledo and Maumee Bay on Lake Erie. Areas became territories, and territories started to become states. In the late eighteenth century, the United States acquired the land that would later become Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin, and adopted the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, laying out how new states could be admitted into the Union. And does a state’s identity rely on its physical connection? How DID The UP Become Michigan’s? The bigger question might be whether the UP and Wisconsin should have been joined. Digging into the technicalities of how this chunk of land joined Michigan rather than Wisconsin shows the former state’s claim over it had more to do with timing than anything else.
It's also WHYsconsin’s most-asked question.īut this isn’t a story about a bloody battle where Michigan reigned supreme. With Wisconsin, it shares more than 200 miles of border. What’s the deal? Geographically, the UP is only connected to the Lower Peninsula by a bridge. The Twitter account has since changed its description a number of times, from the "Upper Peninsula of 🤷♀️" to the "Upper Peninsula of America." Intriguing, and perhaps the tip of an iceberg of discontent between the UP and its mitten counterpart. The account even changed its name to the "Upper Peninsula of Wisconsin." "It’s official, I belong to Wisconsin now," the Tweet read, after rattling off the scores.
“He helped me in the bed of my truck and helped me call my mom just in case I wasn’t going to make it,” he said.Michiganders likely weren’t too happy when the Wisconsin Badgers beat several of its football teams last year its Upper Peninsula, however, took it in stride - at least it’s unofficial Twitter account did. Oliver, the father of a 6-month-old, said he is grateful to the two people who came to his aid, including a man who helped him make a phone call. The truck landed upright on the right shoulder of the westbound lanes of Interstate 94. “There was just too much snow on the side of the road that once the tires got into like two foot of snow there’s no controlling a vehicle of any kind," said Oliver, who was hospitalized with a broken back and a broken leg, among other injuries.Ī Wisconsin Department of Transportation camera captured Saturday's crash in which the pickup can be seen flipping over the a barrier wall and plummeting to the interstate below as cars pass by. Richard Lee Oliver, in an interview that aired Thursday on ABC's “Good Morning America," said he was on his way to his mother's house when his truck hit snow on the shoulder of a Milwaukee-area overpass.
