Great Lakes region  

Definición

  • The five Great Lakes states—Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin—have their origins in the western lands ceded by Great Britain to the United States at the conclusion of the Revolutionary War. Anticipating rapid, large-scale migration into what became known as the Northwest Territories (and later, the Old Northwest), the U.S. Congress enacted a series of ordinances to control settlement.
