English Americans (occasionally known as Anglo-Americans, although this may have a wider linguistic meaning) are citizens of the United States whose ancestry originates wholly or partly in England. According to 2000 U.

  • English Americans (occasionally known as Anglo-Americans, although this may have a wider linguistic meaning) are citizens of the United States whose ancestry originates wholly or partly in England. According to 2000 U. S census data, Americans reporting English ancestry made up an estimated 9.4% of the total U.S. population, and form the third largest European ancestry group after German Americans and Irish Americans. However, demographers regard this as a massive undercount as the index of inconsistency is high, and people from English stock have a tendency to identify simply as Americans or, if of mixed European ancestry, nominate a more recent and differentiated ethnic group. Indeed, in the 1980 U. S census, over 49 million Americans claimed English ancestry, at the time around 22% of the total population and which, even today, would make them the largest ethnic group in the United States. The earliest English settlers in America inhabited the Protestant Colony and Dominion of Virginia, founded by the Tudors and the later Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colonies in what is now the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, chartered by the Stuart dynasty. The Catholic Province of Maryland was founded by the Stuarts, in between the two halves of Virginia. The later Quaker Province of Pennsylvania was founded for the professed purpose of Christian friendship, influential under the Hanoverians. The overwhelming majority of the founding fathers of America were of English extraction, including Ben Franklin, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. As with most immigrant groups, the English later sought economic prosperity and began migrating in large numbers without state support, particularly in the 19th century.
  • Un Anglo-Américain est un citoyen des États-Unis qui a des ancêtres originaires d'Angleterre. Avec 24 millions d'individus (soit 8,7 % de la population), les Anglo-Américains forment le troisième plus grand groupe ethnique européen, après les Germano-Américains et les Irlando-Américains. Au XVII siècle, les premiers colons anglais ont habité la colonie protestante de Virginie, fondée par les Tudors, puis la province catholique du Maryland, fondée par les Stuarts. Mais la colonisation britannique a véritablement commencé avec la fondation de la ville de Jamestown. Comme la plupart des groupes d'immigrants, les Anglais ont participé à la prospérité économique et ont commencé à migrer en grand nombre sans le soutien de l'État, en particulier au XIX siècle. La langue anglaise est parlée à présent par 82 % de la population des États-Unis en tant que langue maternelle (96 % de la population la parlant au moins un peu ou très bien). Outre leur apport de la langue nationale, les Anglais qui sont venus aux États-Unis, et leurs descendants, ont influencé à jamais l'histoire américaine. George Washington, le premier Président des États-Unis, et le scientifique Benjamin Franklin étaient issus de l'immigration anglaise. Beaucoup plus tard, Bill Gates, le fondateur de Microsoft, est devenu l'homme le plus riche du monde. Mais c'est également au cinéma qu'ils se sont le plus illustrés. Certains ont marqué de leur empreinte l'âge d'or d'Hollywood comme Laurence Olivier, Gary Cooper, James Dean, Cary Grant, et surtout Alfred Hitchcock. À présent, le grand vétéran de cette "famille" est Clint Eastwood, suivi par Gene Hackman, et d'autres plus jeunes comme Brad Pitt et Edward Norton.
  • Anglo-americano (também conhecido por inglês-americano - English American, em língua inglesa) é o cidadão ou habitante dos Estados Unidos da América cuja suas raízes étnicas se originam no todo ou em parte na Inglaterra. Segundo os dados do censo de dos EUA, os americanos que alegaram possuir um ancestral inglês formam o terceiro maior grupo de euro-descendentes, sendo superado somente pelos americanos de ascendência alemã e irlandesa. Em 2006, os americanos com ascendência inglesa perfaziam 9,4% do total da população estadunidense. Todavia, demógrafos acreditam que esse número possa ser bem maior, uma vez que as pessoas de ancestralidade inglesa tendem a se identificar somente como americanos, ou, em caso de ascendência europeia mista, os mesmos se identificam com o outro grupo europeu. Como a maioria dos grupos de imigrantes, o inglês migrou para os Estados Unidos da América desde os primórdios da imigração e, mais tarde, procurou a prosperidade económica e começou a migrar em grandes números, sem apoio estatal, especialmente no século 19. Isso deixou marcas profundas no país, que na uso da língua, nos costumes, na música, na gastronomia, na arquitetura, entre outros.
