Why is this peninsula not part of wisconsin?
>>131795121
its what keeps Michigan a battleground state.
>>131795121
Were willing to go to war for it. UPer blood will nourish the soil and their trees will be ours.
Then we can destroy Illinois.
>>131795121
Did you even try googling this? It was a concession.
>>131795121
Fucking jelly of all your state parks. We don't have too many here next door in Ontario because we need muh condos for more shitskins.
ive always wanted to live in northern michigan, looks so comfy
>>131795121
A leftover from the time US states still bothered with muh clay.
OUR RIGHTFUL CLAY, DAMMNIT
>>131795121
butt blasted Michigan was mad at the fed that they didn't get more land in ohio so they gave them that northern bit so they would shut up
>>131795121
Because it belongs to Michigan. It's ours. Stay away from it.
Illinois here, my family usually goes up there for vacations and it's pretty fucking comfy, very jealous of people who live there.
>>131795121
It never was. In fact, Wisconsin was originally part of the Michigan territory, so if anything their clay belongs to us.
>>131795692
It's my dream to move up there.
Because we get less immigrants as part of Michigan due to the geographical isolation from the rest of the state. Fuck off Wisconsin, we don't want to get blacked.

DOWN WITH UP

Bit rude eh
>>131795121
Ohio buttfucked michigan for toledo and michigan got that as compensation

listen children to a story that was written long ago/about a kingdom on a mountain and the valley folk below/on the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone/and the valley people swore...they'd have it for there very own...
>>131795121
It was granted to Michigan to resolve their border dispute with Ohio.
>>131796184
Pretty much like this guy said.
We will however reclaim our rightful Lebensraum.
>>131795121
Implying wisconsin wants that low income shithole.
I go up there to do construction, and everyday there are little shitrats trying to grift "gas money" off people at the stop lights in Escanaba.
Nice scenery and summer weather though.

ontario is a park the northern texas size bit is basically pure endless trees it is the least developed area in canada actually thats why there are so many Militias and why the Branch Davidians built their compound there

>We will however reclaim our rightful Lebensraum.
So the people of the valley/sent a message up the hill/ asking for the buried treasure/tons of gold for which they'd kill/came an answer from the mountain/with our brothers we will share/all the secrets of the mountain/all the treasure buried there...

Chicago was initially a part of Wisconsin territory.
as for OP, they gave the UP to Michigan as a consolation for giving the disputed Toledo Strip to Ohio. The UP ended up being far more valuable for the state than the Toledo Strip. The UP is the most copper-rich area in the world

because it's east-consin

Now the valley cried with anger/mount your horses, draw your sword/And they killed the mountain people/sure they'd won their just reward/Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain dark and red/Turned the stone and looked beneath it -
"Peace on Earth" was all it said.
Because Fuck You.
>>131798606
go ahead and hate your neighbor/go ahead and cheat a friend/do it in the name of heaven/you can justify it in the end/there won't be any trumpets blowing/come the Judgment Day/on the bloody morning after...one tin soldier rides away...
>>131795121
A consolation prize for not getting Toledo. They won out in the end. We Ohioans bet on the wrong pony and have two mistakes by the lake.
>>131795121
We are annexing it in 2018, just give us a bit more time.
The Upper Peninsula is rightfully Wisconsin clay.
>>131799611
Is that your state flag?
>>131795121
Something to do with Ohio
It's retarded, I know.
