The plains would no longer have the characteristic quilt pattern, forest would cover from New York to South Carolina... and I mean COVER it. Forest forest forest forest, non stop

Hmmmmm....so why is there more forest now than when the Pilgrims landed...hmmmm?

there is not more overall forest in the eastern united states than when the pilgrams landed, remember we had to make roads, towns, cities, farms, industrial places, etc.... those all took up forest. That's ok though, needed to happen. I mean, now we have sectioned off places that we call a "national forest".... however back then, it was nearly all forest.
