Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine all have sizable populations of French Canadian ancestry - about 7% of each state. The Frenchies have a reputation for being kinda trashy and low-class. As the French were known to fornicate with and marry the native women, their genetics contain a percentage of Native American admixture.

Overall, Vermont is an American oddity. The most Democratic state, and also one of the most rural. The idea of clearing a tract of forest for McMansion sprawl is anathema to Vermonters. Unfortunately, drug use has permeated the lower classes in recent years and led to social degradation in formerly idyllic Vermont towns.
