Thank you Bradley! That was a real help to get a picture on the multifacetted United States!

[@rhmendelson]

Great job! Your summary was very insightful!

[@mcmike89]

Cavemen were no different than modern humans today as to being divided. We have always been in each other's faces since our ancestors.

I love Fisher's book, but it concentrates too exclusively on the British. Two other MAJOR early influences were the Dutch, whose religiously-tolerant mercantilism in New Amsterdam is seen by some (the book Island at the Center of the World) as a more original source of secular capitalism, and an enormous German Protestant population, especially in Pennsylvania and up the Hudson-Mohawk valleys. In terms of political precedence, population numbers, and sophisticated culture, these settlers constitute significant fifth and sixth pre-Revolutionary influences. If you were raised in these areas you know how powerfully these cultures still influence American values.

Great points made!

Did Thomas Sowell actually use those polysyllabic, PC words “African American?”

[@thermionic1234567]

Did he say “Native American” as well?
