Michigander in Mass

Yet another useless factoid associating Michigan and Massachusetts, just to keep the title of this blog somewhat relevant. Most Michiganders or Ohioans have heard of the Toledo War but may not know all the facts about it. The only bloodshed in this war, for instance, was a tavern fight in which a sheriff from Michigan was stabbed. And did you know that Massachusetts Representative and former president John Quincy Adams supported Michigan saying, "Never in the course of my life have I known a controversy of which all the right so clearly on one side and all the power so overwhelmingly on the other?" Well now you do.
