This country was built on the backs of enslaved and impoverished people. Settlers CUT the trees, they didn’t PLANT them. There were vast old-growth forests across what is now Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and elsewhere in the Midwest. Many “modern immigrants” come to PICK the fruit for substandard wages.
