Major interviews Colin Woodard on his 2011 book “American Nations,” where he theorizes that there is not one America, but in fact, the U.S. map is shaped by 11 regional cultures that are in constant conflict with one another. “American Nations” is the first book in a trilogy where Woodard breaks down how multiple themes of colonization, individual liberty and the role of the government has impacted where these cultures fall on the spectrum.
