(This is a Summer July 2015 story but well worth a read if you missed it)... 

“This map shows the US really has 11 separate 'nations' with entirely different cultures

In his fourth book, "American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures in North America," award-winning author Colin Woodard identifies 11 distinct cultures that have historically divided the US.

"The country has been arguing about a lot of fundamental things lately including state roles and individual liberty," Woodard, a Maine native who won the 2012 George Polk Award for investigative reporting, told Business Insider.

"[But] in order to have any productive conversation on these issues," he added, "you need to know where you come from. Once you know where you are coming from it will help move the conversation forward."

The list:

Yankeedom

New Netherland

The Midlands

Tidewater

Greater Appalachia

Deep South

El Norte

The Left Coast

The Far West

New France

First Nation

It’s a simple but powerful idea: We are stronger together."
