I did crib the description of the geology from Wikipedia but all the rest was my own observation. I have been working on a history of Bacon's Rebellion which can be explained very well by the geological context and the ethnological clashes between the major Native American groups (Algonquian vs. Siouan) and the European drive to settle beyond the geographic limits of their Algonquian allies. One of these days I will put up a website contextualizing Bacon's Rebellion. The purpose is to help explain how and why Europeans became Americans. I still wish I could explain the Great Depression in layman's terms but don't have the vocabulary. Bernanke did explain it, as did Christina Romer, Barry Eichengreen, and of course Milton Friedman. Not that most people can understand it. I can understand it but not being good at math can't explain it in plain English. Would that I could. But I do have the vocabulary for Bacon's Rebellion.
