Journalist Colin Woodard has written a book, American Nations, "A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America". Although his focus is mostly on the United States, he does describe some of the history of Canada and Mexico. He describes how most of the regional cultures were the result of being settled by different groups of settlers, and how those settlers brought with them their economies, cultures, and ideologies. The US Founding Fathers are not the original founders, but the great-great-grandsons and thereabouts of the real founders.

abstract	Journalist Colin Woodard has written a book, American Nations, "A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America". Although his focus is mostly on the United States, he does describe some of the history of Canada and Mexico. He describes how most of the regional cultures were the result of being settled by different groups of settlers, and how those settlers brought with them their economies, cultures, and ideologies. The US Founding Fathers are not the original founders, but the great-great-grandsons and thereabouts of the real founders. These regional cultures have competed with each other, formed alliances with each other, and even fought a bloody war, the Civil War. Though one might expect mobility and mass media to have erased regional distinctions, they are still prevalent, as is evident from the division into Red States and Blue States. They have persisted because many later settlers have tended to move to the areas that they feel most compatible with.
