If you were a fifteenth-century american indian living in the region of modern-day ohio, what would you most likely think of this region in its present form?
you would be that the pollution in the great lakes had been cleaned up since the twentieth century.
you would be amazed by how the cities had reversed pollution trends after many factories closed down.
you would approve of how americans had cut down forests in order to make the region economically vibrant.
you would be concerned that the natural landscape had been destroyed and polluted by large factories, farms, and cities.
