Seeing another video about this but portraying other historical immigrants' countries like Argentina, Canada, Brazil and Australia would be really nice. I loved this one!

[@LittletbigT]

This is surely based off of peoples self identification seeing that English is the most common ancestry of Americans ethnicly speaking yet hardly any of the country shows up as English as people often base there identities off of other ethnicities.

[@beaub152]

I thought most Americans are descended from German immigrants

[@Alsayid]

This is true. Just take ancestry tests, and most white people will show up as a third or half English.

[@extremosaur]

And "American" is not a race.

[@noahtylerpritchett2682]

@@Alsayid yes. We have some sort of retarded English guilt shit.
Despite identifying as other ethnics most our dna Is plurality English.
But American culture is the 1700s colonial Georgian era English culture, nothing like modern English culture but its is something like Georgian era English culture.
People mark minimal German or Irish ancestry while are maximal English ancestry. It's so weird.

[@justinien1er389]

New England wasnt irish at all in late 1700s - early 1800s. It was entirely english.

[@primitiveplanet8202]

For a country that fought Germany twice, the US surely has a lot of Germans.

[@noahtylerpritchett2682]

I feel like most Americans are denial English who mark "German" "Irish" "American" or "Jewish" to identify with minimal ancestry as importance to look unique and exotic while most Americans are plurality English.
Given surname checks, recent genetic studies, older census compilations and their dispersion and number sizes.
Makes me think English is undercounted.
I'm English American

It would be like marking myself as hungarian because one of my grandmothers grandfathers was hungarian, while literally all other of my great great grandparrents where latvieši.
Genetically, doing the testing, americans are 50% british, 25% german, 25% other europian.

[@noahtylerpritchett2682]

25% german? Pre unification german (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands, and german speaking diasporas in southern and Eastern Europe)
Or 1873 onwards Germans?

I enjoy these maps. But the areas called "Irish" almost surely weren't. Instead, they would have been Scotch-Irish, a people who were largely Lowland Scots (and northern borderlands English) who had been settled in Ireland in an attempt to make it less Catholic, and easier for the crown to rule. These people were desperately poor, and many moved on within a few generations to America to carve out a new life on the frontier. Also, I can see Kentucky being more Scotch-Irish than anything, but I have a hard time believing southern New England in the late 1700's was anything but overwhelmingly English.

[@YeastCartography]

Really neat

[@The_Geographer_Maps]

Thank you!

[@WestlehSeyweld]

You conflate Scotch-Irish with Irish. They are not the same. Scotch-Irish are lowland scots and northern English, they are not Celtic but Anglic (Germanic).
Also, not sure why German is so prevalent across the Midwest and South so early.

[@goggleman7211]

The history of the British isles is so muddled. The Irish colonized that region of Scotland anyway. I sometimes wonder if there's any meaningful distinction between the "Celtic nations"

[@WestlehSeyweld]

@@goggleman7211 the Irish (Gaels) settled the highlands, hence the Highlanders traditionally speak Gaelic. Lowland Scots speak Scots, as they descend from the Angles who settled the Northern most regions of Norþanhymbra.

[@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714]

Everyone in the British Iles is celtic by blood. And everyone in the British Iles speaks english. I fail to see the issue.

[@WestlehSeyweld]

@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 The Anglo-Saxons (English) invaded Britain from Northern Germany/Denmark and replaced the native Roman-Celtic population. At the time when England was first united under Alfred they were 80% Germanic by blood. Modern English people have on average about 40% Ironage Germanic admixture. This is greater than the average of Southern Germans (Rhinelander, Bavarians, Austrians, Swiss, etc). I would give the genetic papers on this but YouTubе likes to auto remove links.

What’s funny is that all Germans are of a similar mix as the English, 50/50 Germanic and Celtic. Germany was the original homeland of the Celts. I would give the genetic papers on this but YouTubе likes to auto removеs links.

Could you explain what the 'American' category means?

[@TurkishEmpire2023]

Southerners who are of mostly irish prostestant descent who say they are Americans because they dont know their roots or care

[@WestlehSeyweld]

@@TurkishEmpire2023 you got it, in the south we are all English or Scotch (which is also English). But most just don’t know or care.

[@Alsayid]

@@TurkishEmpire2023 It's not because they don't know their roots, it's because they identify as ethnically American, just as you identify as Turk and not Greek or Anatolian.

Pre-WW1 USA was really german, even German was a common language known all across the contiguous 48. After WW1 and specially WW2, the anti-german sentiment forced all german speakers to adopt english and reject their heritage

Why, at the end of the XIXth some people became "American" (in clear yellow) ? What does it mean ?

[@zach2382]

That means either they don’t know their ancestry or they lived here for so long they identify more with being American then anything else

[@elvenrights2428]

How is ancestry defined? If father is of German ancestry and mother is of English ancestry, of which ancestry their son and daugher are?

[@zach2382]

All this self identified meaning it what they want to identify as. I think you can choose both but the census is going to pick one.

[@drengr811]

Then you have both. You can trace your ancestry and find out more.

English are still 50% of White American ancestry & including Scots, Ulster-Scots & Welsh 65%.
This needs to separate out Ulster-Scots from Irish and massively update the English amount
