Ohio doesn't exist yet, Tote. Right now, its a Federal territory, and an unorganized one at that. You can have an opinion once we've admitted you to the Union.

Congress will be voting on Ohio statehood this turn; both New York and Virginia have made rival proposals for the Northwest Territory, both of which include Ohio as a new state. Be patient.

UPDATE IV; 1803
War rages on, DC partially sacked!!!!!
The war with Britain raged on this year, escalating in scale far more rapidly than the Americans had feared. The opening of this year’s battles began in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, where British and American naval forces clashed for the right to attack the important city of Quebec. The American navy was about 30 ships strong, combined with some 2 or 3 groups of privateers from NE taking advantage of the chaos to loot and pillage British shipping. The British merely had a small force of 10 divisions to spare, but 5 of them were of regular quality, and 1 ship of the line led the force. The battle commenced and lasted for nearly 6 hours, at first it appeared the British had miraculously defeated the American forces and thwarted their attempts at a Northern strike on the city of Quebec, but as the British began to celebrate they saw their precious Ship of the Line, the HMS Britannia, slowly sink into the sea at the hands of the New York frigate USS Raritan. With their lead ship destroyed, the remaining British ships attempted to circumvent the remaining American ships and position themselves to their East in order to escape North to still friendly Canadian ports. A few escaped, but many were sunk in this attempt, and the Americans claimed yet another victory over the formerly “invincible” British navy. They did so at a cost however, as a disproportionate amount of ships were sunk on the American side, and will need to be replenished in order to maintain a safe naval presence in the area.
The American army landed near the city of Quebec, positioning artillery both over the river and the city, where shelling commenced and the remaining Americans positioned themselves for an immediate assault. Despite the urging of the commanders to attack at Montreal and maintain the siege of Quebec, American forces almost immediately assaulted the easily defensibly city. The only advantage Americans had was that the majority of the British garrison was south defending Montreal, but by now the Canadian militia had gathered and converged on its two main cities to prepare its defense. The battle escalated quickly, as American Naval ships began dueling with land-based cannons in the river, destroying much of the cities defenses but paying dearly in ships in the process. The Land based assault began in April and extended all the way into June, with British and American victories coming on and off throughout the 2 months. Eventually though, lack of food and ammunition began to wear at the weary Canadians, and finally surrendered to the American forces on June 21st, after nearly 5,000 militia had died and countless others had been wounded. Nearly 4,000 prisoners were taken by the American forces, and the city has been totally decimated in terms of manpower and infrastructure. As such there is little resistance, but the American forces weary and wounded, and taking their fair share of disease, remained in Quebec for the remainder of the summer and fall, camping there for Winter. As soon as spring begins again, they will head south to assault the city of Montreal in conjunction with the army of the Niagara.
American militia corralling British Prisoners of war
In the South, another naval engagement began, but this time it was off the coast of Maryland. The British naval force who had escaped to Bermuda had seen opportunity and gone straight West with a small garrison of 3 British regulars and landed at Annapolis, Maryland with minimal naval resistance, sneaking past the American navy under French colors and the cover of darkness. Upon landing almost immediately the British dealt a devastating blow to the 4 Maryland conscript militia who rose up to meet them, completely annihilating two of them. They then began marching to Washington DC, where the 2 remaining militia had holed themselves up and fought fiercely in its defense, but to little avail. The British captured the American capital from under all American’s nose, and proceeded to burn it, citing it as revenge for Halifax. The Virginia militia had already heard of the British army marching across Maryland, and had begun to draw near DC upon the eve of its destruction. Too late to totally stop any destruction of the capital, the Virginia army did manage to harbor and keep safe the President and Vice president as well as scare the British away, but as it pursued the British they fled back toward the coast and onto their ships, fleeing out of the Chesapeake. The White house sustained some substantial fire damages, and some other buildings were burned, but overall DC was mostly spared due to the proximity of Virginia’s militia.
By now however, the Atlantic navy had caught word of what had happened further south, and sent its force down to stop the British from fleeing. They caught the small naval force and managed to trap it in the bay, proceeding to eliminate it and the men who remained on it. This small piece of revenge helped strengthen the American morale, but didn’t undo the damages done by an embarrassing defeat at their capital.
In Jamaica, with volunteer reinforcements and new naval reinforcements, the Americans finally captured the capital of Kingston. A few more men were lost in the battle for the city proper, but most losses came from the disease which has begun spreading rapidly amongst the men in the Caribbean army. The southern army proceeded to capture the British lesser Antilles, and also captured Bermuda with minimal resistance. Their armies are weary and incredibly weak from disease, constant voyaging, and on and off fighting against revolting slaves and renegade local armies. A sizeable garrison is needed on each island, as the local economies have been totally disrupted and poor and hungry slaves and even their owners are angry at some of the brutal policies and total disruption of their way of life by the American forces. The current garrisons are being decimated by disease and losses, and must be replaced with new reserve divisions quickly if order it to be maintained in the islands.
In Canada, the Americans once again defeated a British counter-attack from Montreal, relying on some of the newly formed volunteer divisions from NY, New Jersey, as fresh new reserves against the weary British. As soon as the Gulf of Saint Lawrence fell, supplies of food and ammunition began to run scarce, and American forces finally began contemplating the final assault of Montreal. No order ever came though, the only order was to “maintain the siege”, despite many commanders urging to engage.

Presidential Election approaches!
The election for the president of the United states is fast approaching, with Americans heading to the polls next November. Current President Thomas Jefferson is expected to win, with most Americans not wishing to change their leadership in the middle of an important war. However, with losses mounting and a defeat in Washington DC/Maryland, many Americans, especially in the North, are questioning his wartime leadership. Many also point to the fact that Jefferson has left most of the fighting to the states, something they paid for when New York’s Canadian policy resulted in incredibly high casualties. Either way however, it will take a big name in order to defeat Jefferson, a name which Alexander Hamilton currently posses. Many are urging him to run now, while the war’s losses are still heavy on American minds, while many are urging him to wait until next election, saying that a run now would be a waste. The Federalists must make a decision soon, but whatever they choose to run against Jefferson will need to fight hard in order to secure victory.

Shift of trade to France having mixed results
The shift of trade to France has had some mixed results for the American economy. Though generally improving, the demand for many of the raw materials in France is significantly lower than that of Britain. Their demand for finished goods, such as textiles, shoes, iron products, and other products of the cottage industry. This is having the effect of stimulating some of the Northern proto-industry, while maintaining if not hurting some of the South’s cotton and tobacco exports.

Congress compromises on NW issue
With Connecticut and New York submitting one bill, and Virginia submitting another, Congress was split over the future of the Northwest. After months of debate, moderate Federalists and Democratic-Republicans from such states as Deleware and New Jersey came together to pound out a final bill.
The contents of the bill were never really under debate, it was only the future map of the territories that spurred controversy from the two sides. A new map was made, and eventually passed through both houses of Congress by the compromising parties. Some states such as Virginia, SC, NY, and CT still protested, but enough support was garnered for the bill’s passing. Refer to the map for the agreed borders. Also note that PA has yet to withdraw From Michigan’s territory/.
Ohio preceded to petition with a free constitution, preparing to send electors in the upcoming presidential election.
Another bill, the Indian removal act, also passed both houses of congress overwhelmingly. There was some opposition by Massachusetts and Pennsylvania (and even the governor of NC, who was ignored) but still passed the house and the Senate by a vote of 25-7. As soon as the war is over, the Federal army will begin corralling the Injuns West.
The Federal bank bill was crushed in the house, hardly getting even 1/3 of the vote, but Connecticut didn’t let the idea die… (see below).
Northeastern bank formed!
Much to everyone’s surprise, the state of Connecticut has formed its own federal bank for the various Northern states. Recruiting the best Jew bankers from each state, a board of directors was formed with one man per state. The board voted unanimously to appoint New York’s Alexander Hamilton as its first chairman, and immediately went about converting the various state banks. New Hampshire insisted on keeping its state bank separate from the Northeast bank, though still participating and building another building. The other states all converted their state banks to Northeast banks, but in New York and Pennsylvania heavy protests erupted. The democratic-republicans and farmers in both states expressed their outrage, demanding that their states withdraw from the NE bank immediately. In New York, Hamilton and his allies successfully quieted down the angered politicians and farmers, using his popularity to promote the bank. In PA, a bill was barely defeated in the state’s legislature to withdraw from the plan, and farmers all across the West are demanding action. With no militia in the state, many are fearing that an armed band of farmers may march on Philadelphia and force the government to withdraw from the bank.
Either way, the bank has been great for the North Eastern economy. With credit readily available, land speculation is at an all time high, and Free immigration west has boomed even more than before. Entrepreneurism is also at an all time high, and many are taking the risks necessary to start their own business ventures. The large group of bankers who agreed to form the New York Stock Exchange in New York City are no contemplating moving to Connecticut instead, but would need to come to a new agreement to do so. Either way, a new stock exchange should be formed somewhere in the North within the next few years.
Napoleon Defeat in Ireland, withdraws back to continent, defeats Austria
As Napoleon’s armies marched further across Ireland, they continually withdrew troops back to Germany and replaced them with Irish peasants and rebels. By the time the British Army in Dublin marched out to meet the combined Franco-Irish force, the French only numbered 5,000 men with countless Irish peasants, many of whom didn’t even have weapons. The British army of regulars quickly dealt a blow to the French army, which seemed to have almost aborted its attempts on Ireland. The British then commenced to execute thousands of Irish peasants, but have not yet subdued the entire Irish populace. Still with more weapons and will than before, the Irish all across the Catholic Southern ¾ of the Island have launched one of the most impressive guerilla efforts yet seen. Though with some British infantry freed up, many are discussing seeking a counter-offensive in America….
On the continent however, Napoleon’s found success, as the outnumbered French Army dealt a massive blow to Russian and Austrian forces near the town of Austerlitz in Bohemia. The two empire reeled at this tremendous blow, and Austria was forced to acknowledge France’s southern German gains and even signed peace with the French empire. The new “Confederation of the Rhine” has been formed out of Western and Southern German states under a French puppet, and France now sets its sights on Prussia and Russia.

Governor Tattnall Dead; Elections to Be Held
Former Governor Josiah Tattnall, Jr., died at his home in Savannah. The Governor was 41. Sources close to the family say Governor Tattnall died of natural causes, exacerbated by injuries sustained years ago in the War of Independence. The Legislature has already called for elections to replace the popular Tattnall.
Milledge Elected Governor
A record number of Georgians turned out at the polls to elect the successor to the late Governor Josiah Tattnall. In an unsurprising result, the people overwhelmingly selected Representative John Milledge of Savannah, a popular and well-respected Democratic-Republican who was said to be a personal friend of the late Governor Tattnall.
Milledge is widely respected in Congress and by his peers in Georgia for his informed and creative approach to problem-solving. Milledge is known as a member of the moderate wing of the Republican party, who takes every issue on an individual basis and does not blindly subscribe to the platform of any party or faction. As such, Milledge's positions are sometimes at odds with the national parties, but usually right in line with those of the common Georgian: he favors states' rights and individual liberty, supports westward expansion and Injun removal, opposes excessive taxation and government spending, and envisions a prosperous society built upon the foundation of agriculture and commerce. Milledge is also considered something of a racial moderate, favoring a greater degree of legal protection for Negro slaves.
In his inaugural address, Milledge declared, "I see a great future ahead for the State of Georgia. With hard work and God's grace, I am confident she can and will be made to rank among the greatest states on this Continent: a strong state, a free state, a prosperous state, for strong, free, prosperous people."
Congress Passes Indian Removal Act; Milledge Orders Immediate Action
With the successful passage of the Indian Removal Act in Washington coinciding exactly with a planned Georgian Injun removal campaign, Governor Milledge has ordered the Militia to begin routing the Cherokee, Creek, and other hostile tribes from the northern and western regions of the state. Citing Injun violence against white settlers on the frontier, General Lachlan McIntosh instructed his militia forces to kill all Injuns who resisted deportation, and to burn their villages. Those tribes who readilly agreed to be relocated were to be spared destruction. Already the Militia has had significant success in forcing the Injuns out of northern Georgia; Governor Milledge has stated that he hopes to have all the tribes cleared out before the end of his term.
Milledge Opens Western Land to Settlers
Following the examples of several other states, Governor Milledge has enacted a policy to sell or grant parcels of unoccupied western agricultural land to settlers at below-value prices, provided they settle and work the land for three years. This move, aimed at promoting western settlement and agricultural prosperity, provides opportunity for small farmers and unlanded laborers unlike any before seen in Georgia.
