Title	Ohio-Michigan Boundary Dispute Speech by Thomas Ewing
Subject	Ohio Government Ohio--Boundaries--Michigan
Place	Toledo (Ohio) Lucas County (Ohio) Michigan Territory
Description	In this speech, U.S. Senator Thomas Ewing (1789-1871) explains legislation he has introduced to solve the Ohio-Michigan boundary dispute and provides background on the origin of the conflict. It is thirteen pages long and measures approximately 5 by 7 inches (12.70 by 17.78 cm). The documents relate to the "Toledo War" a boundary dispute between Ohio and the Michigan Territory that arose in 1835. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 established a northern boundary that would have made much of northwest Ohio, including the important port city of Toledo, part of Michigan. Several subsequent surveys produced conflicting results. Congress ordered a new survey to establish Ohio's state line north of Toledo in 1835. Governor Lucas and Michigan Territory Governor Stephens Mason sent militiamen to the disputed area. Before any blood was shed, President Jackson resolved the dispute by promising that Congress would study the matter. Eventually, Congress decided to maintain the 1835 survey line, giving Ohio Toledo. In compensation, Congress awarded Michigan its Upper Peninsula.
