What is the Midwest?

What states do you say belong in the Midwest? Take the quiz here.

I said North Dakota south to Oklahoma, Minnesota south to Missouri, and then Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio.

Really state borders don’t fit this that well. The western parts of the Plains states are the West. And western Pennsylvania really is the Midwest but you can’t say the state belongs to it culturally.

I suppose Oklahoma is the one people might take the most exception to, but it’s not really the South and only part of it is really the West. I don’t know.
