The Map That Explains Everything About America: Colin Woodard

Wed Feb 04 2026

Listen

Colin Woodard posits that America is not really a country, it's a dozen or so distinct nations with their own cultures and ideologies which are constantly battling for supremacy. His new book "Nations Apart: How Clashing Regional Cultures Shattered America." In it he argues that  argues that deep-seated cultural divisions, stemming from different colonial settlement patterns, are the root cause of modern American political polarization, inequality, and threats to democracy. The book uses historical and data-driven analysis to show how these regional cultures clash on issues like gun control, immigration, and abortion, and proposes a renewal based on the unifying ideals of the Declaration of Independence.    "America is Eleven Different Countries"  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/america-is-eleven-different-countries/id1439837349?i=1000646222225   SUPPORT THE SHOW!
