Another BS book. Just look at the description of “Deep South” and “Left Coast” to quickly detect the heavy bias.
LOL...South Florida is an entity unto itself!
I’ve lived in at least 5 of those, who can top that?
“Tidewater!” What a marvelous, evocative, and fresh-sounding name!
“Bilgewater” is more accurate.
Author Joel Garreau wrote of this in 1981 in The Nine Nations of North America. he had no real political ax to grind and his vision was not entirely without foundation. This, on the other hand seems decidedly flawed in that it elevates one type of culture above all. That which leads directly to Progressivism. One other thing, the auithor of this does not reference the fact that Black Urban culture spans the urban centers of this nation.
Bttt.
In the northeastern states - Yankeedom, New Netherland and the Midlands - just over four people died per 100,000 by assaults in 2010.It would be interesting to see the statistics they used to arrive at these two statements.In the southern states - Deep South, Tidewater and Greater Appalachia - there was a rate of seven per 100,000.
Greater Appalachia and darned grateful for it

AS for “New France”, I believe the author missed the correct line of delineation.
He has, as a border, Avoyelles Parish. Next to it is Rapides Parish where the regional V.A. hospital is located, since there hasn’t been one in New Orleans, since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The telephone system at the Rapides Parish V.A.M.C., speaks in English, and Cajun French.
This reminded me of the old “World According to Reagan” map.
