Stefano Unterthiner Photography : Animals Face to Face | COLT + RANE - StumbleUpon Colt + Rane Stefano Unterthiner Photography : Animals Face to Face User:Ned Scott/Upper Peninsula War The Upper Peninsula War (1843-1844; also known as the Canadian - Michigan War) was the conflict between the State of Michigan and Canada over a disputed territorial line in the Upper Peninsula, which lead to a secession attempt by the governor of Michigan, Epaphroditus Ransom. The boundary dispute arose out of ambiguous and conflicting mappings of the region, which set the St. Mary’s River through, what is known now as the Upper Peninsula. Governor Ransom feared that the Canadian government would attempt to reclaim sovereignty over the Upper Peninsula. He also feared threats from U.S. The Upper Peninsula is bordered by Northern Wisconsin, Lake Superior, Lake Huron and Lake Michigan The disputed boundary line was set shortly after the War of 1812.

New music: Disclosure – Carnival Band of brothers ... Howard and Guy Lawrence, aka Disclosure. Photograph: Michaela Letang. Disclosure hail from south London and are brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence. They make the kind of music that's influenced by dance genres they're probably too young to have experienced first time round (one of them is 16 and the other is 19).
