It must be that everything east of the Great Plains was originally, in America. In Canada the boreal forest stretches coast to coast (and hasn't gotten much smaller to date).

There weren't many meadows before humans came, it was all forrest.

Not in the East, anyway. The Great plains have always been massive grasslands.
