At last, America’s most insignificant war is finally getting the recognition it deserves. The Toledo War pitted Ohio against Michigan for control of the border town that would eventually become Toledo. One mule (or horse, depending on the storyteller) was the lone casualty. The war was finally settled with Ohio being granted Toledo, in exchange for Michigan getting the Upper Peninsula. In retrospect, it’s hard to call that a clear-cut Ohio victory.

I’m sure the Ohio press was calling it a “quagmire” the whole time, too. Did Amnesty International have any comments concerning the mule? Sounds like a civilian death.
Luckily, the Northern (Ohio) Alliance was just too strong in the end. Osama bin Lansing was, in the end, forced to seek exile in Indiana.
