| Popis: | Regional patterns of politicocultural variation within Alabama and Arkansas are explored by Q-factoring a wide array of social, economic, and political data at the county level for each state. The results confirm that in each state there are two regions conforming to the proverbial distinction between the mountain South and the plantation South. Moreover, in each state a number of counties have emerged as a distinctly urban type. These three types are compared with the American subcultural patterns described by Elazar. The areas roughly conform to these subcultural patterns. Further, as predicted, the Moralistic orientation is more clearly delineated in an Arkansas region, the “Ozark,” while the Traditionalistic and Individualistic patterns are stronger for two of the Alabama area types. |
