The Toledo War
THE TOLEDO WAR.
("An Ohio Idea.")
What is known as the Toledo War was one of a very peculiar and harmless character, beginning in perspective and ending without collision, fight, or casualty; yet exhibiting on the start on both sides a maximum of bombastic threatenings, prospective of possible coming war, with bloody battles and direful consequences, and although it brought out on the part of Michigan the most formidable military demonstration incident to a dispute, between States as to territory occurring in the United States, it ended in a wordy peace, which has resulted in handing down the whole affair, both civil and military, in undeserved traditional and written ridicule.
In the beginning of 1835 the State of Ohio undertook to enforce jurisdiction over certain territory south of the Maumee Bay, which was then considered as a portion of Michigan Territory, and claimed as such.
