It's weird because regionalism is as fundamentally American as the works of Twain and Faulkner and generally the drive to homogenize American culture has done, at minimum, as much damage to the actual spirit of the country as NAFTA did
If we were actually going to emulate 18th century Americans we'd be undoing the damage that the post-war--->vietnam decades did to the patchwork of American traditions and regional cultures

post-1964 phenomenon. towns used to simply kick out newcomers who didn't fit in (not primarily on a racial basis but inclusive of that) but then we made that illegal.
you never hear about people being "run out of town on a rail" anymore.
