RLP 182: American Nations Part 1 with Heidi Mathis

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today's episode of Research Like a Pro is a discussion of the book</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">American Nations:</span></em> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">by Colin Woodard. Heidi Mathis, one of our researchers, joins us to discuss the general idea of American Nations. The book gives us a hypothesis to understand U.S. history as we research our ancestors. Also, the book excitingly has DNA evidence to back up the hypothesis it proposes for understanding U.S. history. </span></p> <p><strong>Links</strong></p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/3E0IvGR"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">-</span> <a href= "https://amzn.to/3E0IvGR"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://amzn.to/3E0IvGR</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">(affiliate link)</span></p> <p><a href= "https://familylocket.com/merging-dna-and-history-american-nations-by-colin-woodard-part-1/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Merging DNA and History: American Nations by Colin Woodard – Part 1</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">- https://familylocket.com/merging-dna-and-history-american-nations-by-colin-woodard-part-1/</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nature Communications 2017 study:</span> <a href= "https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms14238"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Clustering of 770,000 genomes reveals post-colonial population structure of North America</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">- https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms14238</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Colin Woodard’s 2017 blog post at Medium.com - </span> <a href= "https://medium.com/s/balkanized-america/the-11-nations-of-america-as-told-by-dna-f283d4c58483"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">The 11 Nations of America, as Told by DNA</span></a> <span styl
