Ohio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2056 words) |
 | Ohio, the region north of the Ohio River and south of the Great Lakes, was originally controlled by various native tribes. |
| Ohio's southern border is defined by the Ohio River (with the border being at the 1793 low-water mark on the north side of the river), and much of the northern border is defined by Lake Erie. |
| Ohio was also a deciding factor in the 1948 presidential election when Democrat Harry S. Truman defeated Republican Thomas Dewey (who had won the state four years earlier) and in the 1976 presidential election when Democrat Jimmy Carter defeated Republican Gerald Ford by a slim margin in Ohio and took the election. |
