    I assume this was a joke, especially considering how the rest of the state feels about Detroit.

    After the American Revolution and after the War of 1812, many states moved their capitols inland and away from vulnerability to an invading army. Detroit's capture by the British in 1812, made the good citizens realize that the capitol should be located away from the border. Detroit is a border town.
