The only reason Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio are so low is because of the massive farms. They were originally all forest.

It must be that everything east of the Great Plains was originally, in America. In Canada the boreal forest stretches coast to coast (and hasn’t gotten much smaller to date).

Not in the East, anyway. The Great plains have always been massive grasslands.
