Colin Woodard

Colin Woodard talks about his book American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America

Journalist and historian Colin Woodard reveals that North America is made up of eleven distinct nations, each with its own unique historical roots. From the Deep South to the Far West, to Yankeedom to El Norte, Woodard reveals how each region continues to uphold its distinguishing ideals and identities today, with results that can be seen in the composition of the U.S. Congress or on the county-by-county maps of presidential elections.
