well we deforested the entire eastern half of the US, which is most of the forested area, to industrialize and build the entire country, I think there are like 2 square miles of actual old growth timber left and they don't let you go there, you can look at the aerial maps from just after wwii they made just to use airplanes and see that there was nothing left by then

The Indians used to set massive forest fires to clear meadows for hunting. They did this all over. It’s not white people did all of the deforestation.

To this day the U.S. Forest Service maintains several “balds” in Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee because the Indians used to burn the mountain forests to the bare earth and it’s like a cultural thing now. Very strange.

sorry but it 100% is, you can't burn down a hardwood forest in the eastern united states, there is a reason we have zero forest fires to this day, that shit does not burn like midwestern or western bullshit, you could douse an oak tree with gasoline and set it on fire and it wouldn't burn
