minus-squareWestHej@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up34arrow-down1·edit-21 year agoSo North-Central. Got it. (Am not American and don’t know American history very well)
minus-squareJackbyDevlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9arrow-down3·1 year agoWhen I was in highschool I thought Midwest referred to California and stuff because it’s the middle (North south wise) and in the west.
minus-squaredrekly@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoLooks northeastern more than mid western
minus-squarePopcornTin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoYou’ve got the East and West regions defined by the coasts. Then you have the South, but it’s really just the southeast. The rest wants to be called the Midwest. There is no North, I guess…
minus-squareZinklinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoThere is Alaska, but even with them I’ve never heard it called “the north.” Maybe when vacationing somewhere in the south, you might say “oh we’re from up north” but that’s only to contrast with “the south.”
minus-squarejoel_feila@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoIt called the midwest from a time a ago when the Mississippi river was the western edge. USA grew a bit and then more but the name stayed the same.
