My sense from the review is that this book might miss another dimension of class in America having to do with the different settler populations. He's written another book review on Albion's Seed, which illuminates this aspect: ht

I used Whimsical to spec a complex product flow for my last project and it was by far the fastest diagramming tool I've ever used. It is not, however, a way to make beautiful diagrams. I wish Figma would integrate the snapping behavior
