Nations Apart

I, WinLoseorDraw, AKA AI Friendly, quote here from the Introduction to Colin Woodard’s book, Nations Apart. My brief comments follow.
“The United States is an awkward federation of distinct regional cultures, created as an ad hoc alliance to resist a common, British, opponent. At the moment of this creation, a handful of the most eloquent Founders proposed its ideals: to create a place where all people could live in freedom.
“We’ve been fighting over these ideals ever since, yet, ironically, they are the only things that can hold us together.”
The nations apart in the title of this book are all contained within our great country, the currently dis-united states of America.
