세인트로렌스 수로(Saint Lawrence Seaway)는 오대호와 대서양을 연결하는 수로이다. 특히 캐나다의 몬트리올에서 온타리오호 사이의 수로를 말한다. 오대호는 면적이 넓을 뿐만 아니라 빙하작용으로 수심(水深)도 깊어서, 오랫동안 철광석이나 곡물 등의 수송에 이용되어 왔다. 1954년에 미국 정부는 캐나다 정부와 협력하여 오대호를 대서양과 연결하는 수로의 건설에 착수하여, 5년 후인 1959년에 이리호까지의 이리 운하 등의 공사를 완성하였다. 이 수로의 완성으로, 해마다 결빙기를 제외하고 4월 중순부터 12월초까지 대서양에서 직접 대형 외항선이 미시간호의 남쪽 끝에 있는 시카고 항까지 들어가게 되었으며 밀·철광·석탄 그 밖의 물자의 운반량은 수로 개통 전에 비하여 비약적으로 증대하게 되었다.[1]
미국 동부를 남북으로 잇는 대표적 도로에는 U.S Route 1 (3,813Km) 와
Interstate 95가 있습니다.

Yankeedom
Encompassing the entire Northeast north of New York City and spreading through Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, Yankeedom values education, intellectual achievement, communal empowerment, and citizen participation in government as a shield against tyranny. Yankees are comfortable with government regulation. Woodard notes that Yankees have a "Utopian streak." The area was settled by radical Calvinists.
New Netherland
A highly commercial culture, New Netherland is "materialistic, with a profound tolerance for ethnic and religious diversity and an unflinching commitment to the freedom of inquiry and conscience," according to Woodard. It is a natural ally with Yankeedom and encompasses New York City and northern New Jersey. The area was settled by the Dutch.
The Midlands
Settled by English Quakers, The Midlands are a welcoming middle-class society that spawned the culture of the "American Heartland." Political opinion is moderate, and government regulation is frowned upon. Woodard calls the ethnically diverse Midlands "America's great swing region." Within the Midlands are parts of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, and Nebraska.
Tidewater
Tidewater was built by the young English gentry in the area around the Chesapeake Bay and North Carolina. Starting as a feudal society that embraced slavery, the region places a high value on respect for authority and tradition. Woodard notes that Tidewater is in decline, partly because "it has been eaten away by the expanding federal halos around D.C. and Norfolk."
Greater Appalachia
Colonized by settlers from the war-ravaged borderlands of Northern Ireland, northern England, and the Scottish lowlands, Greater Appalachia is stereotyped as the land of hillbillies and rednecks. Woodard says Appalachia values personal sovereignty and individual liberty and is "intensely suspicious of lowland aristocrats and Yankee social engineers alike." It sides with the Deep South to counter the influence of federal government. Within Greater Appalachia are parts of Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Indiana, Illinois, and Texas.
Deep South
The Deep South was established by English slave lords from Barbados and was styled as a West Indies-style slave society, Woodard notes. It has a very rigid social structure and fights against government regulation that threatens individual liberty. Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, and South Carolina are all part of the Deep South.
El Norte
Composed of the borderlands of the Spanish-American empire, El Norte is "a place apart" from the rest of America, according to Woodard. Hispanic culture dominates in the area, and the region values independence, self-sufficiency, and hard work above all else. Parts of Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and California are in El Norte.
The Left Coast
Colonized by New Englanders and Appalachian Midwesterners, the Left Coast is a hybrid of "Yankee utopianism and Appalachian self-expression and exploration," Woodard says, adding that it is the staunchest ally of Yankeedom. Coastal California, Oregon, and Washington are in the Left Coast.
The Far West
The conservative west. Developed through large investment in industry, yet where inhabitants continue to "resent" the Eastern interests that initially controlled that investment. Among Far West states are Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Washington, Oregon, North Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, Nebraska, Kansas, Arizona, New Mexico, and California.
New France
A pocket of liberalism nestled in the Deep South, its people are consensus driven, tolerant, and comfortable with government involvement in the economy. Woodard says New France is among the most liberal places in North America. New France is focused around New Orleans in Louisiana as well as the Canadian province of Quebec.
First Nation
Made up of Native Americans, the First Nation's members enjoy tribal sovereignty in the US. Woodard says the territory of the First Nations is huge, but its population is under 300,000, most of whose people live in the northern reaches of Canada.
Woodard says that among these 11 nations, Yankeedom and the Deep South exert the most influence and are constantly competing with each other for the hearts and minds of the other nations.
"We are trapped in brinkmanship because there is not a lot of wiggle room between Yankee and Southern Culture," Woodard says. "Those two nations would never see eye to eye on anything besides an external threat."
📌 Woodard는 이 11개 문화 지역 중 Yankeedom과 Deep South가 가장 큰 영향력을 행사하며, 서로의 가치관이 극명하게 달라 끊임없이 경쟁한다고 설명합니다. 두 지역은 외부 위협 외에는 거의 의견 일치를 보이지 않는다고 하네요 1.
이 문화 지형도는 미국 정치와 사회적 갈등을 이해하는 데 꽤 유용한 틀이에요. 혹시 이걸 기반으로 지역별 정책 반응이나 선거 경향도 분석해볼까요?
