This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural
history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements
to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have
changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance
for the United States of having been British in its cultural
origins.
While most people in the United States today have no British
ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were
created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic
identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans
are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The
concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that
regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from
1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education,
government, gender, and violence, on which differences between
American regions are greater than between European nations.
