Will Wilkinson: “I suspect that battle between North and South lives on both culturally and geographically. The North has drifted out of the countryside and concentrated itself into our cities. At the same time, America’s rural and exurban counties have slowly become more and more homogeneously Southern.”
“The South has risen again…in rural Maine?”
“My hunch is that rural white culture, which was once regionally varied and distinctive, became more uniform by becoming increasingly Southern.”
