George V. Voinovich (R) Ohio is a state in the United States. Historically (but not universally) considered a part of the Midwest, Ohio is a multi-regional cultural and geographical crossroads, with elements of the Midwest, Northeast, Appalachia and Southern United States. "This slice of the mid-west contains a bit of everything American—part north-eastern and part southern, part urban and part rural, part hardscrabble poverty and part booming suburb," notes The Economist. ^Including:

During the 18th century, the French set up a system of trading posts to control the fur trade in the region. In ...

Additionally, the British, allied with the confederacy, wer ...
