Why are states on eastern side of united states called midwest and that is because the Great Lakes states were originally the Northwest Territory, since the United States didn't own anything past that. After the Louisiana Purchase, it didn't make any sense to refer to them as the Northwest, so they became the Middle West. In the US, the Midwest is positioned more east than it is west.

It's not the middle or the west of the US. Because when the US was expanding in the 19th century - and when many regions were initially being named - the “Midwest” was to the west of the main population centers in the “13 colony” states on the Eastern Seaboard

dedylja [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

It isn't a good answer tho. Lincoln wanted to strip the South of its labor force, and wished many of the slaves that were freed of the south would move to the North and unite with the Union Army. He needed some Union victories to make it more appealing, as the Northern armies were suffering after defeat. So after Antietam victory, he decided to issue the proclamation freeing the slaves that were in the South, but not the ones that were in the Northern "border" states. Such is life in politics.
