| | Toledo War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A common (but unsubstantiated) legend claims that Ohioans gave Michigan its nickname, "The Wolverine State", because Michiganders were vicious and bloodthirsty during the Toledo War. | | | The wolverine is not a common sight in Michigan, having been extirpated from the state in the early 1800s. | | | The U.S. Congress agreed to grant Michigan statehood in 1836, but only if it relinquished its claim to the disputed tract. |

| | Preparations had been under way even then to raise Detroit to a bishopric, of which, had he lived, he would probably have received the mitre. | | | He had five opponents at the polls, but many non-Catholics voted for him, which outweighed the bitter opposition of a number of members of his parish led by one of the trustees who had long been at enmity with him. | | | Father Richard prepared for him a statement of the condition of the Territory, in which he then estimated there were about 6000 Catholics with five churches and two priests — himself and his assistant. |
