    According to cultural geographer Colin Woodard there are as many as eleven cultural areas of the United States, which spring from their settlement history.

    Strong cultural differences have a long history in the U.S., with the southern slave society in the antebellum period serving as a prime example.

    Sure sounds like one unified culture to me!

      Yes, while regional variations exist, there are very distinct and apparent cultural norms of American society that are prevalent throughout this rotten country

      Gee, it’s almost like I mentioned that already. Those eleven areas, while each their own, are all still variations of the same prevailing culture that has spread across the country as a whole.

      Can you not get so defensive about general observations of America as a whole and actually take an objective look at the country as a whole or is that just too much to ask?

          Consistently splitting hairs in an attempt to invalidate an argument about American culture as a whole seems pretty defensive behavior.
