indiana and illinois may be located north of the mason-dixon line, but they are considered midwestern states, not northern.

By whom? I grew up in the Midwest and went to school in Pennsylvania and New England, and I've never lived anywhere that the local residents thought of as "the North" or a "northern state." (Heck, even in Maine, they consider themselves to be "down East.") The only time I've ever thought of someplace as "northern" is during a conversation with or about Southerners.
