New Map of the USA, Demonstrating the "UNITED STATES" of many cultures.

This map shows an interesting view of American culture, we saw it in a site out of Tufts University.  A view of the various cultures in the USA, gives a hint of how politicians must hone their messages to gain political support.  America is amazing in it's cultural diversity and in the "United" and peaceful manner that Americans live and function.

• Yankeedom, is the true old Norman Rockwell traditional America, often progressive, independent, and pure historic Americana. These folks tend to lean to the left politically. Yankeedom values the role of government, and appreciates the original purpose of unions. They are good at creating cities, companies, industry.  
• New Netherlands, was the first true progression of international finance, trading, banking and commerce, affluent and also leans to the left politically. The per capita income there is of the highest in the world. It is the original "New Amsterdam" (later called New York City) because of the excellent port/harbor that paved the way for early shipping, imports and exports.
• The Midlands,  "heartland" America, hosts many agricultural industries, farming, politically more to the middle or the right. The people believe in churches, and traditional values.   
• Tidewater is an area exposed to agriculture, commerce, and shipping, thus it is a mix of industry and business.  Politically this area is to the left of center.
• The deep south is a culture of old world patriarchal attitudes, tradition, politically to the right. This culture loves being different and cherishes the tradition of it's founders. There are still traces of anger about the pain and losses of the civil war.  This area along with Greater Appalacia have long competed with New Netherlands for fianacial, banking and economic power.  The region has deep and rich social classes.
• The Spanish Caribbean of  Southern Florida reflects island culture, and glories in unique lifestyle. "Freedom to play hard" might be a motto.  
• New France reflects New Orleans and another kind of gateway to international trade. Avery Island, the home of Tobasco hot sauce was doing global international business before it was considered cool.  They quickly learned that they could grow peppers overseas and on islands cheaper than in the US of the 1800's and 1900's. The old French influence mixed with island  culture, plantations, fishing industries makes for a cultural unique area.
• Greater Appalachia is politically conservative, often reactionary in politics. From mining, to agriculture, to rich areas of oil and gas it has honed a form of conservative culture. High education was not as highly esteemed there as hard work and financial achievement. The people tend to be "Doers". This area has also competed with New Netherlands for financial and media power. 
• El Norte has a large Mexican influence which grows as the population grows. If you can't tolerate "Green Chili" and enchiladas, or appreciate the concept of "manana"  you aren't a perfect fit into this culture. Politically the culture leans to the left of middle.  
• The Far West is made of people who want to be left alone, they are a mix of ranchers, oil industry workers, mining, with a rich appreciation of the legends of the American West. There are pockets of immensely wealthy people in a culture of "ranchers". Politically they are to the right of center. 
• The Left Coast is affluent, educated, progressive and politically to the left. "California Gold", could be anything from oil discoveries in Los Angeles, the movie industry of Hollywood, or real estate investments, that has made millions of people millionaires. San Francisco may be one of the most beautiful cities in the nation, while San Diego has a warmer laid back lifestyle.
