Michigan and Ohio had a war, michigan agreed to give up its claim on Ohio if it got statehood and the upper peninsula was a consolation prize. Wisconsin became a state later and never had the upper peninsula https://volumeone.org/news/2015/08/03/252990-how-wisconsin-lost-the-upper-peninsula

In the 21st century, there will be wars to give Toledo to other states.
