Eh? Almost Rocky River, Quebec?

The British Parliament passed the Quebec Act on June 22, 1774. The Quebec Act extended the boundaries of Quebec to include Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and parts of Minnesota. This infuriated people in the eastern colonies of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. These colonies claimed that their land extended to the west. After the American Revolution in 1776, the Quebec Act was repealed in 1791. Ohio became the 17th state of the U.S.A. in 1803.
