What would have been the effects if the Toledo War had been resolved differently (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toledo_War) and the Toledo strip wound up in Michigan and not Ohio, while the western and central Upper Peninsula went to Wisconsin?
One point to note is that Wisconsin would not have gotten the entire Upper Peninsula. The eastern portion, around the straights, was already part of Michigan territory and would have remained in Michigan. This is roughly equivalent to Chippewa, Luke, and Mackinac counties. The remaining upper peninsular counties have a population of roughly 250,000, while Michigan would be gaining roughly 500,000 people from Ohio through the retention of the Toledo Strip.
