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."

Good article. I like the simplicity of it. In my opinion only, once the "Far West" erodes so will any illusion of personal freedoms will go with it. A friend shared their view with me, so I will put it here. "A "Conservative " will check to see if there is any water in the pool before jumping in, Liberal, Progressive, Democrats, will just jump and panic the rest of the "herd" into going with them." "The sound of the self-inflicted carnage will be heard around the world."
