Another great book that discusses in fascinating detail the history of the American people’s and cultures actually includes Mexican and Canada too into it. Is “American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America by Colin Woodward” it discusses them 11 unique cultures of people that were the original colonists (not just the English) of the American continent and why those are cultural identities have drove us part to where we are.

The Amazon synopsis “According to award-winning journalist and historian Colin Woodard, North America is made up of eleven distinct nations, each with its own unique historical roots. In American Nations he takes readers on a journey through the history of our fractured continent, offering a revolutionary and revelatory take on American identity, and how the conflicts between them have shaped our past and continue to mold our future. From the Deep South to the Far West, to Yankeedom to El Norte, Woodard (author of American Character: A History of the Epic Struggle Between Individual Liberty and the Common Good) reveals how each region continues to uphold its distinguishing ideals and identities today, with results that can be seen in the composition of the U.S. Congress or on the county-by-county election maps of this year's Trump versus Clinton presidential election.”
