Was this a just a graphic screwup somehow or did they say canadians(dead or alive) voted for Biden too lol. Because you never know with hannity.
Pretty sure I knew this in grade school. Not even from geography lessons, but because of a little bit of trivia that states that only one of the Great Lakes is actually completely inside the United States border. That lake is, purely by coincidence I'm sure, called Lake Michigan.
Michigan & Ohio were fighting over the rights to the city of Toledo. Ohio won so Michigan was given the upper peninsula as a consolation prize
Michigan won that deal
Hawaiian Pizza is good 😡Canadian Bacon tried to warn us.
What good is Canada anyway?
You should look up the Toledo War sometime.

Wow interesting! Learned something new about US history, haha! Seems strange why they couldn't just use the Maumee River there as the natural boundary between Michigan and Ohio though. Border boundary can be so weird sometimes!
According to another map we got from our sources, it seems that thousands of Canadians voted in our election. And yet the radical left wonders why we are crying foul!
Not really a coincidence. The lake's name came first but it makes a lot more sense when you realize what the michigan territory looked liked after the formation of Indiana, Illinois & Ohio as states:
Like, I never understand how these mistakes are made. Because someone would literally have to edit an actual map from right to wrong. Like why?
The US just wanted to make the northwest territory into 3-5 states so they just arbitrarily divided the map in half with the southernmost point of Lake Michigan as the dividing point. But they were relying upon super inaccurate maps, hence the chaos. Ohio would never want to use the Maumee river though because they feared losing access to the great lakes (and therefore the ocean)
The state borders in the US would be a lot simpler if they had access to quality maps at the time instead of relying upon hearsay from traders. There's some crazy border weirdness between the US & Canada for the same reasons.
Yep.
Take a look at Northwest Angle, Minnesota.
The only way to get to the town is either by boat, or to go into Canada and then come across the border.
It's freaking pointless.
It's basically Canada, anyway. We should just split it 50/50/50.
