It does a lot of explaining on why white Southerners, AKA, rednecks, can be so damn nasty. It's actually a very good book on Celtic culture and how it effected America. And how the Brits brought their nose in the air attitude and left it embedded in what would become Southern American culture. Also does a lot to explain blood feuds and such.
Sorry, had to make a plug.

Yes indeed, good book. Another is "Born Fighting" by James Webb. See also Special Providence by Meade on how that Scots Irish heritage influenced American politics, and is still doing so today.
