Bad idea to group Indiana in with those other midwest states. It's the smallest state in square miles west of the Appalachian mountains.
North Carolina - 212 people per sq mile
Virginia - 206 people per sq mile
Indiana - 182 people per sq mile
Tennessee - 154 people per sq mile
I'd say they are all pretty close, except Tennessee is kinda way out there.
No, the bad idea is to make assumptions about an entire area without ever having actually visited or researched the area. I'd love to see how urban the midwestern states I actually mentioned are in comparison to the southern states I actually mentioned.

You mentioned the most northern of the southern states. Group Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, or South Carolina in there and you'll find states that are of about the same density as most midwestern states. Also, Nebraska is NOT a midwest state, so you can't count it.
The midwest is Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. The grand majority of those states are far more dense than the southern states, sorry.

The midwest is Minnesota (28th), Iowa (36th), Missouri (28th and below national average), Illinois (12th), Wisconsin (24th), Michigan (17th), Indiana (16th), and Ohio (10th). The grand majority of those states are far more dense than the southern states, sorry.
The majority of these states are far more dense than Florida (8th), North Carolina(15th), Virginia (14th), Georgia (18th), Louisiana (25th) is denser than Minnesota, Missouri, and close to Wisconsin, Tennessee (20th), and South Carolina (19th).
Seems more of our states are above the national average.

There are 12 southern states vs 7 midwest states. Florida is only southern by geography, but may as well count it, and it is more dense than any midwest state. You've left out a lot of the other southern states, Alabama, Arkansas, West Virginia, Kentucky, Mississippi.
Ohio and Illinois are more dense than all the southern states except for Florida. Indiana would be the 4th most dense state in the south. Michigan would be 5th.
Yeah, pretty sure he wasn't serious. However, that is a stagnant image a lot of people have in mind when they think of the south. They think of the slave days and so on. Truth be told, people don't even pick cotton anymore, it's all done by farm machinery.
And if more truth be told, plenty of white people have done their share of cotton picking too.

Statewide population density statistics don't mean that much, so there's no point in arguing about it. Illinois, as a whole, isn't actually densely populated as you travel through it. There is a huge amount of people crammed into one corner of the state, and the rest isn't very densely populated. I guess my point is that every state has densely populated areas and rural areas, and it makes more sense to break it down and examine different areas of the states. A statewide average is pretty misleading.

True, just as Georgia owes half of its entire population to the Atlanta metro area.
The kind of cotton picking you get paid for, which is pretty different.
No cotton picking by hand was ever easy, and no laborers were ever paid much to do it. I'm not saying that I'd rather be a slave than a sharecropper - what I'm saying is that it was a hard way to live for anyone, regardless of the color of their skin.
