I’ve lived in at least 5 of those, who can top that?

I have lived in six, maybe seven. Just can't tell which area the Severn River is. If it is yellow, then seven. We lived in ten different states. I was raised in the Deep South, but have Appalachian heritage.

There are so many differences between each state and even within the same state.

I have worked for extended in and with heirs to all of them except El Norte.

Being Appalachian, and therefore “not quite white”, and growing up on the cultural frontier between the Hatfields and McCoys and the peaceful Ozzies and Harriets of the middle America/middle German/Mennonite tribe, I can attest to this guy’s accuracy.

Albion’s Seed is yet another work in this line. Both are spot on.

I have read Woodard’s book several times.

Read this article as well....

“Over the decades, Deep South has become strongly allied with Greater Appalachia and Tidewater, and more tenuously with the Far West. Their combined agenda—to slash taxes, regulations, social services, and federal powers—is opposed by a Yankee-led bloc that includes New Netherland and the Left Coast. Other nations, especially the Midlands and El Norte, often hold the swing vote, whether in a presidential election or a congressional battle over health care reform.”

Bloomberg, for example, is a classic Dutch Poltroon.

He does also overlook the “transnation” urban black culture as noted by another Freeper comment in this thread.
