Yankeedom: Founded by Puritans, residents in Northeastern states and the industrial Midwest tend to be more comfortable with government regulation. They value education and the common good more than other regions.
New Netherland: The Netherlands was the most sophisticated society in the Western world when New York was founded, Woodard writes, so it’s no wonder that the region has been a hub of global commerce. It’s also the region most accepting of historically persecuted populations.
The Midlands: Stretching from Quaker territory west through Iowa and into more populated areas of the Midwest, the Midlands are “pluralistic and organized around the middle class.” Government intrusion is unwelcome, and ethnic and ideological purity isn’t a priority.
Tidewater: The coastal regions in the English colonies of Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland and Delaware tend to respect authority and value tradition. Once the most powerful American nation, it began to decline during Westward expansion.
Greater Appalachia: Extending from West Virginia through the Great Smoky Mountains and into Northwest Texas, the descendants of Irish, English and Scottish settlers value individual liberty. Residents are “intensely suspicious of lowland aristocrats and Yankee social engineers.”
Deep South: Dixie still traces its roots to the caste system established by masters who tried to duplicate West Indies-style slave society, Woodard writes. The Old South values states’ rights and local control and fights the expansion of federal powers.
El Norte: Southwest Texas and the border region is the oldest, and most linguistically different, nation in the Americas. Hard work and self-sufficiency are prized values.
The Left Coast: A hybrid, Woodard says, of Appalachian independence and Yankee utopianism loosely defined by the Pacific Ocean on one side and coastal mountain ranges like the Cascades and the Sierra Nevadas on the other. The independence and innovation required of early explorers continues to manifest in places like Silicon Valley and the tech companies around Seattle.
The Far West: The Great Plains and the Mountain West were built by industry, made necessary by harsh, sometimes inhospitable climates. Far Westerners are intensely libertarian and deeply distrustful of big institutions, whether they are railroads and monopolies or the federal government.
New France: Former French colonies in and around New Orleans and Quebec tend toward consensus and egalitarian, “among the most liberal on the continent, with unusually tolerant attitudes toward gays and people of all races and a ready acceptance of government involvement in the economy,” Woodard writes.
First Nation: The few First Nation peoples left — Native Americans who never gave up their land to white settlers — are mainly in the harshly Arctic north of Canada and Alaska. They have sovereignty over their lands, but their population is only around 300,000
New England votes blue out of status quo and that the social programs in the Northeast are often for workers rather than just gibs, thus the system works. The people here in that regard have a similar mentality to Europeans.

It's amazing that the only culture the left has is the left coast and net netherland. Everything else is overwhelmingly red and right wing. If it wasn't for their strategy of holding power in the major cities, they wouldn't have any influence.

This. There is a difference between supporting the Democrats in a Blue team vs Red team scenario and full faggot Marxist leftists like in California.
New England votes blue because it is 92% white. Social programs that cause such high taxation go to build a park and public school for Timmy O'Reilly the freckled Irish boy in South Boston. Then he goes to UMass on scholarship and becomes an engineer. Nobody, or at least far fewer people, just take payments from the system as nigger gibs. The system WORKS there because it's all white.
Contrast this with Southern and Western states who all have massive problems with niggers and spics. Niggers are total cancer and eat social programs alive like locusts, then stick their hands out for more and chimp out screaming about "rayciss wypipo dayummmm dass like Jim Crow slavery dawg". They are too stupid to get an education or a job, too low IQ to be productive even if they try, and too destructive to maintain a neghborhood. Red State whites understand that all the tax money and social programs in the world are totally lost on niggers and so vote for privatization and fewer services.
Not supporting social programs is absolutely appalling to people who live in New England because they are completely unaware of nigger cancer. "How could those mean republicans be so greedy? How could they not want to spend a few extra dollars to house and educate Timmy O'Reilly? Don't they see how well it works? Why do they hate black people who I've only met in college when they're selected for intelligence and responsibility? So racist and mean!"
Republicans in red states turn around and say "social programs do not work. Taxes are completely wasted. What is it with those damn utopian Yankees with their Ivy League snobbishness thinking they're so much more virtuous than we are? They can go to hell!"
This is the fundamental divide in the United States of America. Niggers are ruining he greatest nation on earth.

can u confirm the descriptions, m8?

Midlands here. Coastal master race.

dude that map- is way fucking off..."deep south" only including minor parts of tx coast...are you fucking stupid...texas is the south....let another state start a succession see how many follow...texas already has pledges from many states if we choose to start the next civil war..in other words TEXAS IS THE SOUTH
Juan Ortiz
Texas would lead the south in a civil war fantasy. Texas is culturally distinct from the south. Texas and southern Oklahoma would be a southwestern nation on their own. You either haven't lived in the south or you misunderstand what they mean by "nation."
Austin Peterson
It looks like an invasion oozing its way into the US.

You're probably familiar with the book the map is based on. My vagueness here is for the sake of brevity - that the underlying historical description is probably correct, but many of those lines today have blurred. And cities within those regions often have distinct cultures themselves. Where I'm at we wouldnt divide ourselves that way, yet you can recognize the differences. To me I feel more part of the Mid-Atlantic region than either midland or tidewater. Not sure that helps you. But there are culturally different regions in the US

blue is where the libs, nigs and spics are. that's also where nukes should be dropped.
I don’t know why so many people make South Louisiana the “New Fance” meme.
Nobody speaks French down here. We aren’t French. Don’t care about the history. That’s been dead.
Caleb Jackson
no one speaks dutch in the new netherlands either
Luke Torres
You dumb nigger. Your legal system is the Napoleonic Code established under Napoleonic France. English Common Law, which the rest of the country uses, was established under English colonial rule. Your property ownership, legal proceedings, and corporate organization are completely different in Louisiana than everywhere else in the United States you Cajun Cunt.
You clearly have no idea how your history affects you. New France can geaux fuck itself
Juan Long
didnt trump win maricopa county whats with that map
Cameron Rodriguez
Hasve you ever met somebody from Louisiana? Ive never met anyone from there that identifies themselves with being French.
What? Is this a meme. Everyone in the Netherlands speaks Dutch. They also happen to speak pretty good English.
John Richardson
I've met a few and they all identify as "coonass" whatever the fuck that means. Mother fuckers can't even speak English half the time. Go get a job on a rig and fuck right off.
Elijah Ross
Seems legitimate. Midlands is kinda screwed up.
