You're gonna need a citation for that statement, because everything I know about the US disagrees with that. Indiana, for example, was almost completely forest before European settlers arrived [1] and has seen forest cover reduced by 75%. Most of the midwest is similar.

No, you're gonna need a citation for my statement; I already know it to be so. You can google as well as I can. I'm not here to win an Internet argument, merely to inform. Whether you agree with me is not my concern.
