Midwest

-Removed-

See how many times you can say "Northcentral-part East" before you get tired of saying that.

It was known as the Midwest back when it actually was the Midwest and it kept the name for simplicity.

You gonna whine again how I "didn't get the joke"?

The early settlements were along the east coast. So eventually people started settling west. So the Midwest had some population. West of that was unsettled. Then came pioneers, trappers, buffalo hunters, farmer, ranchers who wanted land. The government would let people settle on primative land, improve it and claim it under certain conditions. That along with the gold rush, demand for beaver pelts for hats etc people started moving out west. So there is the west, Midwest and the east coast.

Those were brave people, not knowing what to expect when they arrived in America.

Why do English people name their places all like "Uppingtonshireford?"
And ridiculous words like mollycoddle, periwinkle?
And what's up with Yorkshire pudding? Is it desert, is it a side dish, is it congealed gravy, just what is it?

To him, questions are for berating others (see the Spirituality Forum for the evidence), and if you provide an actual answer, then you have no sense of humor and "didn't get the joke".
