American Nations: A History of the Eleven Regional Cultures of North America by Collin Woodard takes a more in-depth look at how and why the United States can generally be divided into eleven different regions based on their cultural influences. By dividing America into eleven regions, Woodard provides a further explanation for why the division between red states and blue states is the way it is. Woodard explains why some regions are inclined to think and vote a certain way. Whether it is the Left Coast or New Netherland, Woodard creates a symbolic justification for each of the eleven regions. Woodard delves into the historical aspect of each region by going further back in the colonization of these areas. Woodard touches on topics such as manifest destiny and how different cultures moved west in hopes of obtaining land. It also explains how many of these different cultures faced hardships along the way to settling in America. In doing so, Woodard creates evidence for his hypothesis that America is divided into eleven regions. Collin Woodard brought a unique and fresh perspective on the eleven cultures that divide the nation. Instead of viewing America as a single nation, Woodard creates a new and fascinating way of looking at America's cultural divide. All in all, the divisions of the eleven rival regions are reasonably accurate, but they are becoming less and less accurate as time goes on. go ahead. While I agree that it would be inaccurate to say that everyone in any single region carries the same cultural beliefs/values ​​– if you look at the region as a whole/majority, then the majority carries the same cultural beliefs or affiliations. Not all people in the same region carry the same values, but... half of the paper... assets. what it is today. If someone somewhere hadn't figured out how to grow crops, the world would be nothing like it is today. Cultivation is everything. Education, the economy, employment and health can all be directly affected by how good or bad the agricultural sector is. So, how does this book fit into this classroom? In other words, this course is agricultural education after all. Taking a minute to go back and discover how America developed through someone else's eyes is necessary when trying to understand how agriculture started it all. Without agriculture, many (if not all) people would not have the opportunities created by education. I would not be given the privilege of improving myself through education without the development of agriculture.
