Editing Midwest

The midwest, as its name would suggest, is located in the middle of the [[United States]].  Formally defined by the Census Bureau, the midwest consists of [[Illinois]], [[Indiana]], [[Iowa]], [[Kansas]], [[Michigan]], [[Minnesota]], [[Missouri]], [[Nebraska]], [[North Dakota]], [[Ohio]], [[South Dakota]], and [[Wisconsin]].  Census definition aside, a certain amount of confusion exists as to the midwest's boundaries.  People often think that [[Missouri]] is part of the [[South]] due to the presence of slavery and its involvement with the Confederacy during the Civil War.  This confusion also sometimes causes people to think that [[Kansas]] is part of the [[South]].  This is just crazy talk.
