Johnson County, Tennessee

[Victor Arminius]

Size is not indicator of the power of a nation. Germany is about the size of Texas, England the size of Alabama, but look at the influence they have had on the world! If one of these 11 nations were to go independent, they would be larger than many European nations. But in reality, there are more than 11 nations. There are at least two Hispanic nations (Cuba and the American southwest) and also a Black nation located in the Black Belt region of the United States with Atlanta as its anchor. So, in reality 13 nations. The author included the Mexican elements in the southwest under "El Notre" but not the Cuban Hispanics. And he included Blacks in the Deep South, but they should have been separated out.
