The two cultures in US America are "ethos culture" and "morality culture." Ethos culture is organized around the pursuit of the good life in the body. Morality culture is organized around the fulfillment of abstracted imperatives.
Thomas Jefferson is the exemplar of ethos culture. John Brown is the exemplar of morality culture.
The US Civil War was brought about by northern grey-wool-wearing morality culture's fulfillment of the abstract imperative for universal political emancipation.
