One of the concessions made as a result of the War of 1812 was that the Crown relinquish all claims to what is now Michigan, Ohio and Indiana.
Tippecanoe and Tyler Too!
Had we lost that War it is probable that those areas would have reverted to Canada.

The British turned it over to America in 1796. We do not want it back! !
