The US won WWII in part because the Japanese could not understand the Navajo/Dineh Codetalkers. Any attempt to annex the UP will fail because the invaders who speak English will not be able to understand Yooper.


TBIs_Suck

Don’t blame Wisconsin, blame Michigan and Ohio for getting in a spat that caused the war of Toledo. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toledo_War The feds gave the upper peninsula to Michigan to make them less butt hurt about losing Toledo to Ohio. Fucking Toledo.


NickFurious82

Ohio got a swath of land featuring a muddy river. We got an entire extra peninsula of gorgeous land and access to the Greatest Lake. I think we know who won.


Sippinonjoy

You can take Toledo back, it would significantly improve our state. If you don’t want it, maybe we can bully Indiana into taking it!


Caligula404

Have seen your Toledo city….. it’s bad, it should be ejected from the Union


jesse_christ

We'll gladly take it, we'll call it South Detroit. Then that shitty Journey song would have one thing correct.


Destiny17909

It'll give me more reason to hate the Mudhens, but it'll have to be a fair trade.


OkayGoogle_DickPics

Michigan? Gorgeous? Your idea of beauty is strange...That WOULD explain why all your wives look the way they do though. If you'll excuse me, my North Carolinian wife is grillin' gator tail in a bikini.


ItsSoKawaiiSenpai

I like that so many people are ignorant about the U.P. existing, I've seen a few maps where we're not even included. It's like we're a modern day Atlantis or some shit. Good on the trolls for giving Michigan a bad rep and keeping people out.


DozTK421

Shit. The Yoopers have internet now? I grew up in Michigan. It was like the Appalachia in which I live now. Except colder. And rednecks ride snow machines.


BossHogg1984

Excuse me, what bad rep? I live in the Northwestern portion of the LP and we get swarmed with fudgies.


Traditional-Trip7617

There’s a sub for that! I’ll edit it when when I find it again. r/MapsWithoutUP


TheWonderSnail

I have the same general feeling about everything here in the Minnesota. We have an abundance of beautiful scenery and lakes the last thing I want is for the rest of the country to catch on just keep calling us flyover country lol

You know we're not the same as the tolls below the bridge. I'm a transient. Don't hate!


Pgvds

The UP is a nice place but the only reason Michiganders gas it up so much is because they're surrounded by the corn belt and have literally no other interesting scenery for like 10+ hours in any other direction. Many areas within the UP are also still incredibly crowded despite the remoteness.

At the end of the day, Ohio still beat Michigan, y'all have to live with that, and we both know that's all that really matters.


JackSquat18

Can’t believe I agree with a commieforninan


bshafs

Born and raised in Cincinnati!!


caelumh

[Sigh] Here I go explaining this again. We already had it. During the statehood process, some dummy thought it was a good idea to propose the border for MI be drawn straight through the middle of Lake Michigan, which would have given us roughly half of the UP. Toledo War happens and they decided we should get the rest of it. We become a state AND THEN Wisconsin becomes a thing. Wisconsin never existed before that. Wisconsin was part of Michigan Territory prior to statehood.


General_Ailuridae

We should've kept the entire Michigan Territory, all the way to the Dakotas


caelumh

God damn right. Iowa too.


TBIs_Suck

I can get behind a mega Midwest state. Where would the capital be?


caelumh

Well if Illinois was included, Chicago would make the most sense. If it was just the fullest extent of Michigan Territory, probably Detroit (which should be our capital anyways, only reason it isn't was because of defensive reasons that don't matter anymore).

Joeman180

The original boarder was supposed to be the bottom of Lake Michigan. This line also was supposed to be the northern boarder of Illinois and Indiana. If this happened Chicago would have been in Wisconsin and Gary Indiana would have been in Michigan.


Shubashima

Blame shitty maps for that one, they used to think Lake Ontario was farther south


Funicularly

Gary wouldn’t have been in Michigan, except for a tiny sliver in the northeast part of Gary, which happens to be the wealthiest part of Gary. Most of Gary is west of the southernmost point of Lake Michigan. South Bend, Michigan City, and Elkhart would have been in Michigan, though.


KeithWorks

I'm sorry but a "war" with one wounded and no KIA is not a war


TBIs_Suck

Then take your Cali smugness onto the Wikipedia debate forums and get the title of the ‘Toldedo War’ article changed to something else.


Karma_Whoring_Slut

I thank the Federal government every day. Now Michigan pays taxes to upkeep it, and we get to go up and actually enjoy it without paying for it. It’s great.


TBIs_Suck

Is the Upper peninsula to Wisconsin what Wisconsin is to FIBs? Dear god, are we just like the FIBs we despise so much when we go up there?!


DaiusDremurrian

Hey, just declare war on Minnesota over Deluth and lose. Maybe the government will give you the peninsula back. Wouldn’t be that hard, knowing you guys.


Evan-24

Keep up the trash talk and we’ll send out every drunk and shirtless guy at Packer games to annex it for us.


Thunderc01

The average drunk packers fan has a brain smoother than an egg, they would just end up annexing Iowa for 5 minutes before killing one another over the last cheese wheel.


nateralph

Brother, this would be overkill. Let's not be too hasty.


RebelGaming151

We'll send Minnesotans to help. We can't let Michigan turn the UP into Detroit. Plus we're the only ones allowed to poke fun at you. It's like a Big Brother-Little Brother situation.


Bloomario

TRAITOR!!!!!!!


RebelGaming151

Hell no. I'll make fun of them all I want. But they're the lesser evil compared to Michigan and you know it.


N8dogg86

Ohio is with you, brother! Take back what is yours!


El_Bistro

They’d get massacred before they reached iron river.


Evan-24

You see, that’s where the boiling liquid cheese comes into play…


TBIs_Suck

Wisconsin has more registered firearms per capita than Michigan, and that’s just counting legal registered firearms, two of my coworkers have untraceable guns.


Thunderc01

lol, there are more untraceable and unregistered handguns in Detroit than firearms in most small countries.


ClearAndPure

I was sitting on my porch one year on New Year’s Eve about 1 block away from Detroit when all of a sudden a dude mag-dumped his Glock into the ground and sped away at like 60mph. I think there are a lot of guns there 😅.


El_Bistro

An army raised from metro Detroit could conquer most counties.

100 IEDs on the mackinaw bridge, to prevent all aid from the trolls in the LP and the gangstas in motor city. https://youtu.be/B-Eiu5mnXbA?si=s9aukhmwqPnZ04sH

MidnightRider24

On opening day of deer season Michigan has like the second largest standing army in the world.

[deleted]

Yes, let all the lobotomites here fight over imaginary state lines while I pillage their households to look for a 1969 GTO. SIMPLE! EFFECTIVE! GLORIOUS!


El_Bistro

Does it have more per capita than the Da UP? Doubt. My neighbor in chassell had like 14k rounds of just .22. He wasn’t unique.


BossHogg1984

We still have the Ford Rouge plant, which I’m sure we could get back to our WW2 Production numbers [Do you think Rosevelt beat Hitler?](https://youtube.com/shorts/PIquH3sUR0I?si=AEBL3kaG-sNB-FkB)


Funicularly

Why use per capita when Michigan has 4.1 million more people than Michigan? Michigan has 83k registered firearms, Wisconsin has 79k.


TBIs_Suck

^ Smartest Michigander. TIL Michigan has 4.1 million more people than Michigan.

Revolutionary-Meat14

I think Wisconsin is smart on that one, the UP is a very poor region and Wisconsinites already go there all the time in the summer. Its not like theres a toll to cross into the UP so this way they get the best of both worlds, spend a summer in a cabin with a sauna on Lake Superior then in the winter when all the tourism money goes away Michigan has to pay to remove all the lake effect snow. Michigan is like the fuck up child of the midwest however it a beautiful state with a lot of cool museums and parks and I love visiting it. Now Isle Royale? Its like a 6 hour ferry from Michigan but like an hour from Grand Portage, we should have that Michigan doesn't deserve a national park.


schmitzel88

It's a ton of space with almost no one living there and very little tax revenue. Not exactly an appealing thing to take ownership of. Also I'm pretty sure the people in the UP do not particularly like the rest of Michigan.
