Extractions: American Geography MAP T he region of southern culturethe Deep South ( Map 7 : 33K)can be viewed as a geographic composite of beliefs, attitudes, patterns, habits, and institutions. Many of the early patterns and current changes are explicitly geographic; many others have geographic consequences. Strong differences exist within the South. The Gulf Coast, the southern highlands, the Georgia-Carolinas Piedmont, and many portions of the northern interior South each possess their own versions of southern culture. But they are also clear about the "southern-ness" they share. THE HERITAGE The earliest European colonization in America was commercial and exploitative. And the coastal plain south of Delaware Bay, especially that south of Chesapeake Bay, contained many areas that appeared ideal for agricultural exploitation. The long, hot summers, regular rainfall, and mild winters permitted settlers a selection of crops complementary to those grown in northern Europe. The large number of rivers that crossed the plain, navigable by small boats at least, allowed settlement to expand freely between the James River in Virginia and the Altamaha River in Georgia. Population densities remained low throughout most of the region, with urban concentrations larger than the village size limited to port cities (Norfolk, Virginia; Wilmington, North Carolina; Charleston, South Carolina; Savannah, Georgia) or the heads of navigation on the main rivers (Richmond, Virginia, and, later, Columbia, South Carolina, and Augusta, Georgia). The strong rural and agrarian elements of southern culture established a pattern that remained significant until after the mid-20th century.

Extractions: This article appeared in Seasons, the magazine of Samford University, Summer 1997. Dr. Eric Fournier wrote his doctoral dissertation on the renewal of River Street in Savannah, Ga. He has studied harbor revitalization up and down the East Coast, and recently delivered a paper on the topic to the American Association of Geographers. But Fournier covers more than the waterfront. The new Samford geography professor has researched, written and lectured on topics as diverse as cotton's return to the South, using novels to teach urban geography and the history of racial residential patterns in Atlanta. "Geography is the perfect discipline for people interested in a little bit of everything," Fournier says. "It ties in political science, sociology and history" to show how people have used their land and resources to arrive at "where they are right now," he said. Fournier developed a course which used the novel to teach urban geography while serving on the faculty at Kennesaw State College in Georgia. "To develop a cross discipline course, I asked students to combine geography with English to see how novels dealt with urban themes," he said. "They read everything from Charles Dickens to science fiction, with an eye toward such factors as class boundaries, racial patterns and how transportation shaped cities."
Extractions: The Regions of the United States New England The Mid-Atlantic The South The Midwest ... The West Americans often speak of their country as one of several large regions. These regions are cultural units rather than governmental units formed by history and geography and shaped by the economics, literature and folkways that all the parts of a region share. What makes one region different from another? A region's multicultural heritage as well as distinct demographic characteristics like age and occupation also make regions different and special. Within several regions, language is used differently and there are strong dialects. There are also differences in outlook and attitude based on geography. E-Texts Megalopolis The Bypassed East New England New England has played a dominant role in American history. Until well into the 19th century, New England was the country's cultural and economic center. The earliest European settlers of New England were English Protestants who came in search of religious liberty. They gave the region its distinctive political format town meetings (an outgrowth of meetings held by church elders) in which citizens gathered to discuss issues of the day. Town meetings still function in many New England communities today and have been revived as a form of dialogue in the national political arena. New England is also important for the cultural contribution it has made to the nation. The critic Van Wyck Brooks called the creation of a distinctive American literature, in the first half of the 19th century, "the flowering of New England." Education is another of the region's strongest legacies. The cluster of top-ranking universities and colleges in
