'''Michigan''' is the twenty-sixth state to enter into the union, on Jan. 26, 1837. It is known for its interesting geographical location, bordering four of the five [[Great Lakes]] (it does not border Lake Ontario). It also comprises two parts connected by a bridge, the [[conservative]] Upper Peninsula (known as the U.P., with its residents known as "Yoopers") and the Lower Peninsula (which is by far the larger of the two). Michigan's capital is [[Lansing]], and its largest city is [[Detroit]]. Michigan is part of the [[Midwest]] that is shifting [[Republican]] in response to [[Leftist]] policies against traditional [[energy]] and Midwestern values. | '''Michigan''' is the twenty-sixth state to enter into the union, on Jan. 26, 1837.
