Alternate national identities in North America

We've all talked about alternate North American nations but I would like to talk about alternate identities and cultures in this thread.

For instance, we can easily imagine what an independent Deseret's identity would be about- Mormonism, of course, something that can be separated from the mainstream idea of the U.S. And I suppose through Decades of Darkness we also now understand what a secessionist New England would be like, and how they could reconcile that their roots are the same as the rest of the United State's. But what would an independent of Republic of California look like? A Cascadia? And so on?
 
I commonly see alternate nationalism discussed in timelines featuring some sort of socialist or communist America. I think the most prominent example would be Jello_Bafia's Reds!

This depends a lot on settlement and what happens after settlement. So much so as to be impossible to answer in a general sort of way.
