2. How does a territory become a state?
In 1835, there was a conflict between Michigan and Ohio over the port of Toledo. (It was almost an entirely bloodless war) In the outcome, Ohio got the Toledo strip and the port of Toledo, mainly because it was a state at the time and Michigan was a territory. However, although it had to give up the Toledo strip, the U.S. allowed it to become a state and granted it its current Upper Peninsula. At the time, Ohio had a better benefit with having Toledo. But, with the discovery of copper and iron in the Upper Peninsula, as well as plentiful timber, Michigan gained huge profit. So now, Michigan got the better deal after all.
