There have been massive differences in the US since foreigners came here (i.e. non Native Americans). They all brought their own cultural, religious and other beliefs with them. You should check out the book American Nations by Colin Woodard [0] it goes into detail about how these different areas formed and who settled those areas pretty much dictates present day politics. These aren't new concepts either - political parties use these to decide where to campaign for decades now. A map that represents the areas in question.
