>>2327048>which means few forests because they were cut downthere were hardly any forests to begin with. are you unaware of the great plains? don't feel bad because apparantly everyone here is as well. this land is all private because it had some of the richest soil and was easily converted into farmland, all you had to do was dig up the grass and plant. settlers gobbled up all the land and then overfarmed it and stripped all the topsoil and caused the dustbowl. now it's an ecological wasteland that has to be nuked with fertilizer to make anything grow. thanks, whites.
