About this listen

Imagine two American states mobilizing militias, issuing threats, and nearly going to war... all over a narrow strip of land. Dive into the bizarre true story of the Toledo War (1835-1836), a bloodless but heated standoff between Ohio and Michigan. Discover how competing maps, ambitious governors, and a valuable port city led to a conflict resolved not by bullets, but by political maneuvering and a very surprising compromise.
