In this episode of Mind-Blowing History, Historia tells the story of one of the most unusual and peaceful border disputes in North American history: the Orange Canoe War. In 1870, tensions flared over a tiny speck of land between Vermont and Quebec, almost igniting a conflict between the United States and Canada. But what happened instead was a strange and almost comical series of events. Find out how diplomacy, stubbornness, and a painted canoe shaped international borders.
