More information about the video content bellow:
1. Prior to becoming a state, the Michigan territory took issue with Ohio claiming the mouth of the Maumee River in Toledo as its own property. Things came to a head in 1836, when militia forces from both sides marched into the wilderness to oppose one another. They never came in contact. Congress insisted Michigan accept the boundary line and cede Toledo in order to gain statehood-they reluctantly agreed.
2. Michigan was the first state to ban the death penalty. After Detroit bar owner Stephen Simmons was hanged for murdering his wife in 1830, newspapers and religious leaders began to criticize the brutal practice and petitioned for its abolishment. When another hanged man was later found to be innocent, the public movement became so influential that state legislature banned the practice in 1847. (You could still, however, be executed for treason through 1963.)
3. Michigan was an early and outspoken opponent of slavery and welcomed refugees from the Underground Railroad. When former slave Adam Crosswhite fled Kentucky in 1843, he settled in Marshall. When Kentuckians came to the state in 1847 searching for Crosswhite, citizens intervened and had the mob jailed while Crosswhite headed for Canada.
4. Battle Creek was once the unofficial capital of breakfast cereal. When physician John Harvey Kellogg assumed duties at the Battle Creek Sanitarium in the late 1800s, he advised a strict diet and exercise regimen, including a flaked cereal he developed called Granose. When businessman C.W. Post visited the center in 1891 and tried to convince Kellogg to market his cereal, Kellogg wasn’t interested-so Post came up with some of his own, including Grape Nuts. The Kellogg family later started the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company in 1906, ushering in the modern age of soggy carb-and-milk bowls.
5. Michigan’s thriving lumber industry meant the state's economy became inextricably tied to the manufacture of carriages and wagons, which soon would give way to the automobile. Henry Ford’s Model T became the standard for car makers to follow, with reasonable production prices and satisfied consumers. All of those auto plants-Michigan held more than 75 percent of the world’s car factories-became crucial during World War II. Many automakers converted their resources into providing jeeps, tanks, and other combat tools to Allied forces.
6. Berry Gordy founded Motown (“Motor Town”) Records in Detroit in 1959 using $800 he borrowed from his family. The label would go on to introduce some of the most influential artists of the century, including Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, and Stevie Wonder.
7. Michigan’s capital city is Lansing., a city of 116,000 people. But only one city comes to mind when thinking about Michigan, and that is Detroit. We all know Detroit as Motor City, even if that doesn’t really apply anymore. In the early 20th century, the auto industry expanded and the city grew really really fast. By the 1950, it reached a population of 1.85 million people, the 4th largest in the country. Since then, the population declined to less than 700,000 people. Several neighbourhoods feel into despair after the people left and abandoned buildings could be found even downtown.

The video should have mentioned how Kalamazoo college was the first college in Michigan. Also it should have mentioned how the city of Kalamazoo was the first to provide a free education k-12 grade in the USA too, not to mention famous for pharmaceuticals.. How about the amazing city of Grand Rapids, Holland, Travis city, Mackinaw Island, Mackinaw Bridge and upper Michigan too?? They all contributed and are internationally known well.

Everybody hates on Michigan. It’s a great state. There’s so many cool places. And plus we essentially have two states. The upper and lower peninsula. We also have five lakes to go to. Then one of them is one of the biggest lakes in the world . And plus most of you have never been and get opinion from your friends. Who have also never been.
