Title	Ohio-Michigan Boundary Dispute Special Message of Governor Lucas to the General Assembly
Subject	Ohio Government Ohio--Boundaries--Michigan Governors
Place	Toledo (Ohio) Lucas County (Ohio) Michigan Territory
Description	Governor Robert Lucas (1781-1853) made this speech, "Special Message of Governor Lucas to Both Branches of the General Assembly, Made in Pursuance of the Third Section of an Act Making an Appropriation to Defray the Expense of Carrying into Effect the Laws in Regard to the Northern Boundary Line" in 1834. Accompanied by related documents, it is 95 pages in total and measures approximately 5 by 7.5 inches (12.70 by 19.05 cm). The documents relate to the "Toledo War" a boundary dispute between Ohio and the Michigan Territory that arose in 1835. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 established a northern boundary that would have made much of northwest Ohio, including the important port city of Toledo, part of Michigan. Several subsequent surveys produced conflicting results. Congress ordered a new survey to establish Ohio's state line north of Toledo in 1835. Governor Lucas and Michigan Territory Governor Stephens Mason sent militiamen to the disputed area. Before any blood was shed, President Jackson resolved the dispute by promising that Congress would study the matter. Eventually, Congress decided to maintain the 1835 survey line, giving Ohio Toledo. In compensation, Congress awarded Michigan its Upper Peninsula.
