Albion's Seed - David Hacket Fischer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albion%27s_Seed

The four migrations are discussed in the four main chapters of the book:

The Exodus of the English Puritans (Pilgrims influenced the Northeastern United States' corporate and educational culture)[3]Distressed Cavaliers and Indentured Servants (Gentry influenced the Southern United States' plantation culture)[4]The Friends' Migration (Quakers influenced the Middle Atlantic and Midwestern United States' industrial culture)[5]The Flight from North Britain (Scotch-Irish, or border English, influenced the Western United States' ranch culture and the Southern United States' common agrarian culture)[6]

Fischer includes satellite peoples such as Welsh, Scots, Irish, Dutch, French, Germans, Italians and a treatise on Black slaves in South Carolina. Fischer covers voting patterns and dialects of speech in four regions which span from their Atlantic colonial base to the Pacific.
