Midwestern United States   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) The states shown in dark red are usually included, while all or portions of the striped states may or may not be considered part of the Midwestern United States. The term's etymology is now somewhat archaic, as the region's states were once a part of the Northwest Territory and the region was known as being a part of the "Middle West" of the United States before the Louisiana Purchase. Because the Northwest Ordinance region, comprising the heart of the Midwest, was the first large region of the United States which prohibited slavery (the Northeastern United States emancipated slaves in the 1830s), the region remains culturally apart from the country and proud of its free pioneer heritage. www.tocatch.info /en/Midwest.htm   (4075 words)

Midwest (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.virginia.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) Because The Northwest Ordinance region, comprising the heart of the Midwest, was the first large region of the United States which prohibited slavery (the Northeastern States emancipated slaves four decades into the 19th century), the region remains culturally apart from the country and proud of its free pioneer heritage. The region was shaped by the relative absence of slavery (except for Missouri), pioneer settlement, education in one-room free public schools, and democratic notions brought with Revolutionary War veterans, Protestant faiths and experimentation, and agricultural wealth transported on the Ohio River riverboats, flatboats, canal boats, and railroads. These States are sometimes denigrated as being relatively flat, either heavily developed into urbanized areas or left in pastoral agriculture, and demarcated by the surveyor's grid imposed by the ordinances, and most easily seen by residents of the Coasts in airplanes as they fly over "flyover" country. midwest.iqnaut.net.cob-web.org:8888   (2435 words)
