About this episode
Few books have influenced my view of American history and politics more than Colin Woodard's American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America . We've been divided since the beginning, Woodard argues, and this has influenced every aspect of American history, not to mention its future. He has a new book coming out in May, Union , which expands this thesis further. Get American Nations here . And get Colin's new book, Union: The Struggle to Forge the Story of United States Nationhood , here . Support us by supporting our sponsors!
