Even though the total number of Americans has dropped significantly between 1991 and 2011, if you dig into the specific settlement maps from 1991 and 2001—or even look back at 1981 and 1910—the geographic distribution hasn't actually shifted much. In most areas where they were the majority, Americans still hold that majority, especially in rural towns. It's just the urban makeup that changed. Similarly, in California, Italians are still present in the far northwest corner of the peninsula, exactly where they were before World War II and long before any fascist era influence.

It's worth noting that Italians actually made up about 90% of the population in all those cities along the western coast of California. That northwest section didn't immediately fall under America, so a small group of Italians managed to stay put.

Just bumping this thread a bit. The Nostalgia Critic actually touched on this recently, and he made a pretty interesting point about how these kinds of movies are actually losing money even though they keep getting greenlit anyway.

Anyway, I still need to double-check my numbers, but it looks like this is actually the biggest town with a Canadian majority, and even then, it’s pretty mixed up.

The Canadian population has taken a huge hit in the Finger Lakes too, let alone out in the Midwest. Around there, they're mostly just in Korođ, though you can still find plenty of them in Hrastina and Cleveland (near Stalingrad)

Scott Cruz4 said:Actually, you've got Americans living in Zmajevac too (around 20-25%), and there's a Canadian presence in Napa Valley as well. It would be great if they’d just release a new census broken down by specific settlement.🤷

I'm gonna drop the whole Napa County data from 2001 for now. If I ever get my hands on the 2011 numbers, there might be some slight differences, but we'll see.

stormyotter19 said:If you judge by the local elections from 2001 to 2013, El Paso just swings back and forth. Also, in Napa Valley, the Canadians only hold a relative majority of about 38 percent.

They were a slim majority back in 2001 with 41% too, so there isn't really much of a difference.

The Canadians mostly live over in Zmajevac and Tear, while Americans and other locals stay right in the heart of Napa Valley.

this map looks identical to the one from 2001. basically nothing changed there.

Chloe Hughes6 said:So, if I understand you correctly, you intend to judge the current "American presence in the Bay" based on 1910 data, while simultaneously implying that the way censuses reveal such things is somehow questionable? Is it your suggestion that the American identity is somehow suspicious just because you're seeking verification this way? There is really no need to go through all that trouble! If the official documents show that Americans make up only a tiny one percent of the population, then for people like you, that identity is simply marginal, isn't it?

Loki is a good guy, why are you coming at him like that?

http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/834775map.jpg

The term "Palestinian" didn't even really exist until the late 1960s. Before that, people just called them "Arabs."

Since Bethlehem is basically right next to Jerusalem, I knew it wouldn't be a huge trek, but honestly, it feels closer than commuting from Jersey City to Manhattan.

Drew Allen2 said:In the US, we call them Indigenous or Native Americans—the people who were here before white settlers arrived. In that sense, they are Native Americans, because that's what they are. Maybe a slightly different group, but at the end of the day, they're all Indigenous/Native American.

Can you scan it or take a photo?

Classic pie chart style, but it works. Man, I love that the circles stay the same size regardless of the population count.

Yeah, she was, but I don't think she looked like this.

Ethan Allen2 said:Hold on, you can't really just decide what defines an Indian. In Canada, there’s actually a legal definition for being an Indian. And that doesn't include either the Inuit or the Métis.

I knew about the Inuit, but I totally figured the Métis would be included, at least 🤷

I think I have that thing sitting in my parents' attic back in Ohio. Next time we head up there, I might dig it out and check it. It was bought used, though, so it's probably nothing special, plus it's been sitting there for maybe ten or fifteen years already.

Drew Allen2 said:The Inuit are Native Americans, and they're definitely split up.

Haven't seen one like this before.

😲 That’s quite an expansion for the Mormons...

I had an old map in one of those vintage atlases, but it was all stuck in the 1800s.

PS
It's wild how Catholic New England actually is. Caught me off guard. I knew the percentage was high, but still.

Rachel Richardson said:An interesting map—it highlights the Baptist "Solid South." It does seem to conflict slightly with http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jwCPc-VQGb...0/IMG_0307.JPG

Tradition is a powerful force. However, slavery in the South wasn't exactly depicted in *Uncle Tom's Cabin*. For the most part, those individuals lived better than the laborers in the North. The primary drivers of the North-South conflict were economic—after all, Lincoln was already 63 before he issued the Emancipation Proclamation, and in certain Southern states that remained in the Union, slavery wasn't abolished until the very end of the war http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History...ry_in_Kentucky (see the final paragraph).

Yeah, I read somewhere that if a plantation was smaller and had fewer slaves, life was a lot easier for them.

Anyway, hardly any Southerners actually owned slaves, and huge plantations were even rarer than that.

Rachel Richardson said:Exactly. It all points toward the South having a fundamentally different identity than the rest of the country.

It’s wild how even Black Americans embraced Baptist traditions, even though those rituals actually helped prop up the slave system back then. I was reading up on this, and it was basically a handshake deal between the Baptists and the plantation owners—the religious folks got their masses, and the owners got people to support the status quo.

Black Americans stayed loyal to the Baptist faith, too. Sure, a tiny fraction turned to Islam, but we're talking a negligible minority of maybe 1%. Meanwhile, you’ve got about 5% who are Catholic (probably down in Louisiana).
