Albion Seed Grows in the Cumberland Gap: Good "essay" on cultures and clan systems that migrated to America. "Regionalism is not unique to America. Geopolitics creates regional distinctions around the world. Great Britain is no exception. Due to constant battles between Scotland and England, the borderlands between the two countries developed a distinctive culture in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This culture arose from the unstable world of violence and transience there... The Cumberland Gap of Kentucky is a good example of the borderland-derived, backcountry culture." Created by E. Semancik for The American Studies Program at the University of Virginia.
