The Abandoned Elevator and Depot in Dorr, Michigan

The Michigan Town Named After a Rhode Island Rebellion

The Michigan Town Named After a Rhode Island Rebellion From 1841-1842, there was an uprising in Rhode Island. This rebellion was instigated by T.W. Dorr, who demanded changes to Rhode Island s electoral rules. It seems they were still adhering to an old colonial constitution from 1663 that stated in order to vote, you had to own $134 worth of land and be Caucasian. According to New England Today, it was a war, but mostly of words instead of firearms. It went on for two months – with separate armies – but they couldn t seem to locate one another for a conflict. The only casualty was an innocent bystander, who was accidently shot.
