Albion's Seed
Four British Folkways in America
Book • 1989
This book, the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, examines the folkways of four groups of immigrants from distinct regions of Great Britain and their lasting impact on American culture.
Fischer argues that these groups—Puritans, Cavaliers, Quakers, and Scotch-Irish—each contributed uniquely to the formation of modern America, influencing aspects such as education, government, gender roles, and violence.
Despite most Americans not having British ancestors, these regional cultures have persisted and continue to shape national politics and societal attitudes[2][4][5].
