Toledo War Ends in Bloodless Boundary Crisis
The 1835 37 Toledo boundary dispute between Michigan and Ohio nearly sparked a civil clash as Michigan pressed to enter the Union with the Upper Peninsula while Ohio insisted on its line. Despite threats and militia movements, federal mediation and legal judgments led to Michigan statehood with the Toledo area and the Upper Peninsula under its control, ending the clash without full-scale fighting.
