The reason Yankee fans and Red Sox fans hate each other goes a lot deeper than sports. In his book
American Nations, Colin Woodard identifies eleven regional cultures in the United States. He compares the conditions of the home country, settler conditions, climate, geography, religious history, population density and international loyalties. He points out the parallels between how settlers’
