What people on Hacker News said
The illuminating thing for me was the history of different groups, where they were from, where they settled, where they migrated and basically how these cultures remain in those areas for the most part.
Maybe I had a naive view before, but after moving from one region to another, it was enlightening to see things described this way and help understand aspects of southern culture.
American nations by Colin Woodward. Great book to understand the historical underpinnings of different regions in America.
