The 1981 book *The Nine Nations of North America* by Joel Garreau is cited as a prophetic look at how the continent is splitting along economic and cultural lines. Historical events like the Trail of Tears and the Choctaw Wars are referenced to show that territorial control has always been a brutal, hard-fought process. The host argues that without the foresight of past leaders to acquire Alaska and Hawaii, the U.S. would currently face foreign navies in its own backyard.
