American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America by Colin Woodward gets into our regional belief systems. It is interesting in that he attempts to give background to what I see as varying definitions of liberty among different groups of Americans. It shows how embedded in regional culture it is, which may explain why people can't seem to respect each others values in our failing state.
