it is readily observable that (political) "nationalism" is strong amongst the majority of Americans, but also to be noted, in order to understand American psychology is an emotional (if somewhat naive) "state pride", ie an emotional loyalty and self-identification to one of what became 50 states, especially for those who live in the state where they were born. both of these aspects must be recognized in order to understand self-, community-, state- and national identity.
