A friend of mine recently told me that the US is not one nation, but rather nine. Culturally speaking, that is. As we get more Walmarts and Home Despots, this is becoming less true, but still…
In your opinion, what would these nine nations be?
Hmm.
WAG:
California
Pacific Northwest
Texas
“The South”
Florida
The Northeast
The Southwest
The Bible Belt
The Flyovers
I’m wondering if Alaska and Hawaii are included in the nine.
I think New England would account for one, and there’s more to the Northeast than just New England.
Here’s the original Nine Nations of North America, from the 1981 book Nine Nations of North America.
Ah, thank you, Anne. Although that sort of puts this thread to an end.
So, the unconnected states don’t count.
“The Nine Nations” is online.
In case you’re interested, It took nine nations, because a seven nation army couldn’t hold me back.
