I mean, probably a fair bit of truth tbf
During the Napoleonic War militias were formed across Britain to prepare for war, but ‘The Hackney Volunteers so resented being told to act as the French in a training exercise against the Islington Volunteers that they genuinely came to blows’ (Tombs again)
There is a very good book on the English Civil war about how regionalised the British Isles were in the 1630s and how much regional hatreds supplanted even religious ones
sounds interesting. Ive been reading the Cousins War too by Kevin Philips. A lot about how Puritan East Anglians detested the radical sects that were mostly from the North
Phillips’ book is part of the evidence suggesting that the political divide isn’t about politics at all. It’s actually a struggle between two distinct evolved psychological profiles; two different cognitive processeshttps://quillette.com/2018/04/20/towards-cognitive-theory-politics/ …
Other evidence includes the book American Nations. The northern half of USA was populated mostly by people from the UK. The southern half by people from the continent. These are potentially not just two cultures, but two genetic strains. Look at the map, and then think Civil War.pic.twitter.com/AMhaRSb19N
see, too, Albion's Seed. settlement in the new world originated from four diff british subpops.
