Post-Civil War blacks[edit]

There is discussion at the Forty acres and a mule Wik. page of former slaves having difficulty when they moved here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.225.33.104 (talk) 02:57, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Great Black Swamp/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

I heard from a Bloomington museum docent that the Great Black Swamp was responsible for some of the patterns of migration into Indiana. Specifically, I heard that it prevented residents of the Northeast from easily traveling to southern Indiana during the heyday of frontier migration, leaving southern Indiana to mostly residents of the Southeast. This fact supposedly helps to explain the perceived cultural discrepancy between northern and southern Indianans. Does anyone happen to know whether there is any truth to this? 68.163.178.93 18:52, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An image[edit]

There is an image that is present in the List of regions of the United States article but not here. Shouldn't it be added? File:Black_Swamp.svg — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adûnâi (talk • contribs) 13:24, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

MI[edit]

The introduction says that part of the swamp was in Michigan. It doesn't look like on the maps. 2600:6C67:1C00:5F7E:145:1D:17BD:A624 (talk) 04:08, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with above. That line is unsourced and doesn't seem consistent with the map here. I also don't see reference to michigan in any of the sources Kavigupta (talk) 04:00, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

removed for now, if someone would like to revert please add a citation Kavigupta (talk) 04:02, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
