France, Great Britain, and the United States have successively had dominion over it, and under the United States it was part of the Northwest Terri tory and of the Territory Of Indiana before it be came the Territory of Michigan. As Michigan Territory it passed through all the grades Of subordinate jurisdiction, and the circumstances attending its admission to the Union made its his tory at that period quite unique. Altogether it seemed appropriate that in the series of American Commonwealths the history of Michigan should be sketched as a history of governments but this would be incomplete without a summary view of the relations of States to the Union at the time Michigan was received into it, or without some.
