If you didn't know, it's the only state where a significant part of its landmass is physically disconnected from its main body. This is the Upper Peninsula,a largely undeveloped, wild piece of land in Michigan's far north. So how did Michigan come to own this large chunk of land, and why does Ohio have a huge part in this story? In this video, we'll cover the extensive geography of both the Upper Peninsula and Lower Peninsula. Why and how Michigan acquired the territory, but lost something in the process. And what the Upper Peninsula means to Michigan today. -- Stock footage and music acquired from www.envato.com, www.storyblocks.com and videvo.net.
