I'm not saying America doesn't have strong regional cultures, but it's drawing a long bow to associate them with four migrations, or that there were four easily-identifiable regional identies in Britain at the time.

The conclusions of this book are too neat for my liking, which is why it's been popular with people trying to understand the various and hilarious ways that the USA is demented. Having lived in three places characterised by lowland Scots migration (ex-USA), generalisations of this kind don't work.

Borrow cost has always been a problem on this one. Absolutely comical NAV mismatch.

Another little-known thing: USAID funded rhino anti-poaching initiatives in South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. They were defunded and rhino deaths have since gone through the roof.
