American Nations is essential reading to understanding the dynamics of American culture. Colin Woodard defines the original drives which where behind the establishment of the American colonies. Utopian societies, Retro-Feudalism and violent individualism are all key tenets within the foundation of the US. This fierce blend of conflicting ideologies is still present in today's political,cultural and religious landscapes. Far from homogenous, America has always been a fractured and fractious stew.
