I'm just saying that the Midwest isn't "the North". Before the Civil War, what we now call the "Northeast" was "the North". During the Civil War and shortly after, it also included some free states in the Midwest. 

To suggest his success in the Midwest is indicative of what could have been in NY over how he did in the states in NY's region is what I am essentially taking issue with.
