The Connection with Marty Moss-CoaneHow clashing regional cultures intensify our political divisionsAs we get ready to mark the country’s 250th anniversary, we are still struggling to reconcile our deep-seated disagreements over policies, beliefs and values. There are many ways to define those differences: red and blue, urban and rural, male and female, young and old, native and immigrant.
Historian Colin Woodard says our geography has long shaped our view about what it means to be an American and our views on the role of government.
His new book, Nations Apart, shows how early colonists, with their conflicting views of individual liberty and the common good, cr...

The GistColin Woodard: The Federation Is the Fault LineWoodard maps America's clashing "nations," from American Nations to Nations Apart, arguing that our deepest divides are regional and newly combustible. He makes the case that post–Cold War policy, social media, and a fraying social contract turned long-standing cultural seams into political fracture zones. We press whether his framework explains why now more than past crises. Plus: a quick read of the 11/5 results — Democratic gains in New Jersey and Virginia, Maine's voter-ID rejection, a Georgia PSC flip, and late counts in Minneapolis and Seattle.

99pages#3. Colin Woodard on the Eleven "American Nations" that make up our historyThe story of the United States is often told as a cohesive group of colonists rising up against its British overlord. The story is far more complicated. In "American Nations" Colin Woodard differentiates between The values and emigration of Puritan New England, Dutch New York, German & Quaker Pennsylvania, Royalist Tidewater Virginia, the agrarian industrial deep south, the Scottish and Irish border-landers of Appalachia, as well as the French & Spanish settlements in the New World. Each of these domains had different incentives and value which remain core to our national division to this day.

Paid by the Word: Conversations with Writers and EditorsWriting History with a Journalist's Perspective – Colin WoodardJournalist and historian Colin Woodard is the author of six wonderful books: American Nations, American Character, Union, The Lobster Coast, Ocean's End and The Republic of Pirates. In this episode of Paid by the Word, Colin talks about the 11 rival cultures of North America. For me, this conversation was like having a loud alarm go off while I'm trying to sleep. Understanding the long and complicated history of North America's competing cultures is essential, especially now, when it seems as though the United States has entered a new age of political instability.

SHOW NOTES
Oliver Evans designed the first automated flour mill in Delaware in the 1780s. He secured the third U.S. Patent in 1790. Evans’s mills eliminated 80-100% of the required labor force. The “Evans system” was adopted at Mount Vernon in 1791.
