'''British American''' usually refers to [[Americans]] whose [[ancestry|ancestral origin]] originates wholly or partly in the [[United Kingdom]] ([[England]], [[Scotland]], [[Wales]], [[Northern Ireland]], [[Cornwall]], [[Orkney]], and the [[Isle of Man]]). It is primarily a demographic or historical research category for people who have at least partial descent from peoples of [[Great Britain]] and the modern [[United Kingdom]], i.e. [[English Americans|English]], [[Scottish Americans|Scottish]], [[Welsh Americans|Welsh]], [[Scotch-Irish Americans|Scotch-Irish]], [[Orkney|Orcadian]], [[Manx Americans|Manx]] and [[Cornish Americans]].
Based on 2020 [[American Community Survey]] estimates, 1,934,397 individuals identified as having British ancestry, while a further 25,213,619 identified as having English ancestry, 5,298,861 Scottish ancestry and 1,851,256 Welsh ancestry. The total of these groups, at 34,298,133, was 10.5% of the total population. A further 31,518,129 individuals identified as having Irish ancestry, but this is not differentiated between modern Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Figures for Manx and Cornish ancestries are not separately reported, although Manx was reported prior to 1990, numbering 9,220 on the 1980 census. This figure also does not include people reporting ancestries in countries with majority or plurality British ancestries, such as New Zealander (21,575) or Australian (105,152).<ref name="factfinder.census.gov5">[https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?q=B04006%3A%20PEOPLE%20REPORTING%20ANCESTRY&tid=ACSDT5Y2020.B04006 B04006] - 2020 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimate</ref> There has been a significant drop overall, especially from the [[1980 United States Census|1980]] census where 49.59 million people reported English ancestry.
Demographers regard current figures as a serious under-count, as a large proportion of Americans of British descent have a tendency to identify as 'American' since [[1980 United States Census|1980]] where over 13.3 million or 5.9% of the total U.S. population self-identified as "American" or "United States", this was counted under "not specified".<ref>[https://www.census.gov/population/www/censusdata/files/pc80-s1-10/pc80-s1-10.pdf Ancestry of the Population by State: 1980] (Supplementary Report PC80-S1-10)

Not to be confused are cases when the term is also used in an entirely different (although possibly overlapping) sense to refer to people who are [[dual citizens]] of both the United Kingdom and the United States.
==Sense of heritage==
[[File:United Kingdom United States Locator.svg|thumb|right|upright=1.35|{{Legend0|#3c9d3c}}[[UK]] {{Legend0|#ff7500}}United States.]]
[[Americans]] of British heritage are often seen, and identify, as simply "[[American ancestry|American]]" due to the many historic, linguistic and cultural ties between [[Great Britain]] and the U.S. and their influence on the country's population. A leading specialist, Charlotte Erickson, found them to be ethnically "invisible".<ref>Charlotte Erickson, ''Invisible immigrants: the adaptation of English and Scottish immigrants in nineteenth-century America'' (1990)</ref> This may be due to the early establishment of British settlements; as well as to non-English groups having emigrated in order to establish significant communities.<ref name="lieberson1" />
==Number of British Americans==
Table below shows the results from 1980 when ancestry was first collected by the U.S. census and the 2010 American Community Survey. Response rates for the ancestry question was 90.4% in 1990 and 80.1% in 2000 for the total US population.

According to estimates by Thomas L. Purvis (1984), published in the ''European ancestry of the United States'', gives the ethnic composition of the American colonies from 1700 to 1755. British ancestry in 1755 was estimated to be 52% English and Welsh, 7.0% Scots-Irish, and 4% Scottish.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HbQWAAAAQBAJ&q=enduring+vision+ethnic+composition+colonial+america+1755&pg=PA99|title=The Enduring Vision: A History of the American People, Volume I: To 1877|first=Thomas L.|last=Purvis|access-date=November 5, 2019|isbn=9781285605876|date=2013-01-29}}</ref>

====American Council of Learned Societies (1929)====
The 1909 ''Century of Population Growth'' report came under intense scrutiny in the 1920s; its methodology was subject to criticism over fundamental flaws that cast doubt on the accuracy of its conclusions. The catalyst for controversy had been passage of the [[Immigration Act of 1924]], which imposed numerical quotas on each country of [[Europe]] limiting the number of immigrants to be admitted out of a finite total annual pool. The size of each national quota was determined by the [[National Origins Formula]], in part computed by estimating the origins of the [[Old Stock Americans|colonial stock]] population descended from [[White Americans]] enumerated in the [[1790 United States census|1790 Census]]. The undercount of other colonial stocks like [[German Americans]] and [[Irish Americans]] would thus have contemporary policy consequences. When CPG was produced in 1909, the concept of independent [[Ireland]] did not even exist. CPG made no attempt to further classify its estimated 1.9% Irish population to distinguish [[Celts (modern)|Celtic]] [[Irish Catholics]] of [[Gaelic Ireland]], who in 1922 formed the independent [[Irish Free State]], from the [[Scotch-Irish Americans|Scotch-Irish]] descendants of [[Ulster Scots people|Ulster Scots]] and [[Anglo-Irish people|Anglo-Irish]] of the [[Plantation of Ulster]], which became [[Northern Ireland]] and remained part of the [[United Kingdom]]. In 1927, proposed immigration quotas based on CPG figures were rejected by the President's Committee chaired by the [[United States Secretary of State|Secretaries of State]], [[United States Secretary of Commerce|Commerce]], and [[United States Secretary of Labor|Labor]], with the President reporting to Congress "the statistical and historical information available raises grave doubts as to the whole value of these computations as the basis for the purposes intended."<ref name="ACLS1929" />
Among the criticisms of ''A Century of Population Growth'':
* CPG failed to account for [[Anglicisation of names]], assuming any surname that could be English was actually English
* CPG failed to consider first names even when obviously foreign, assuming anyone with a surname that could be English was actually English
* CPG failed to consider regional variation in ethnic settlement e.g. surname ''Root'' could be assumed English in [[Vermont]] (less than 1% German), but more commonly a variant of German ''Roth'' in states with large [[German Americans|German American]] populations like populous [[Pennsylvania]] (home to more [[Germans]] than the entire population of Vermont)
* CPG started by classifying all names as Scotch, Irish, Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, or other. All remaining names which could not be classed with one of the 6 other listed nationalities, nor identified by the Census clerk as too exotic to be English, were assumed to be English
* CPG classification was an unscientific process by Census clerks with no training in history, genealogy, or linguistics, nor were scholars in those fields consulted
* CPG estimates were produced by a linear process with no checks on potential errors nor opportunity for peer review or scholarly revision once an individual clerk had assigned a name to a nationality
Concluding that CPG "had not been accepted by scholars as better than a first approximation of the truth", the [[United States Census Bureau|Census Bureau]] commissioned a study to produce new scientific estimates of the colonial American population, in collaboration with the [[American Council of Learned Societies]], in time to be adopted as basis for legal immigration quotas in 1929, and later published in the journal of the [[American Historical Association]], reproduced in the table below. Note: as in the original CPG report, the "English" category encompassed [[England and Wales]], grouping together all names classified as either "[[England|Anglican]]" (from [[England]]) or "[[Cambria]]n" (from [[Wales]]).<ref name="ACLS1929" />

===1980===
The 1980 census was the first that asked people's [[ancestry]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/population/censusdata/pc80-s1-10/tab02.pdf|title=United States 1980 Census|website=Census.gov|access-date=2 January 2018}}</ref> The 1980 United States Census reported 61,327,867 individuals or 31.67% of the total U.S. population self-identitfied as having British descent.
In 1980 16,418 Americans reported ‘Northern Islander’. No [[Scots-Irish American|Scots-Irish]] (descendants of [[Ulster Scots people|Ulster-Scots]]) ancestry was recorded, however over ten million people identified as Scottish.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/population/censusdata/pc80-s1-10/tab02.pdf|title=United States 1980 Census|website=Census.gov|access-date=2 January 2018}}</ref>

===1990===
Over 90.4% of the United States population reported at least one ancestry, 9.6% (23,921,371) individuals as "not stated" with a total of 11.0% being "not specified".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/population/www/CPH-L-97.pdf|title=United States 1990 Census|website=Census.gov|access-date=2 January 2018}}</ref> Additional responses were Cornish (3,991), Northern Irish 4,009 and Manx 6,317.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/population/www/CPH-L-97.pdf|title=United States 1990 Census|website=Census.gov|access-date=2 January 2018}}</ref>

==History==
===Overview===
The [[British diaspora]] consists of the scattering of [[British people]] and their descendants who [[emigrated]] from the United Kingdom. The diaspora is concentrated in countries that had mass migration such as the United States and that are part of the [[English-speaking world]]. A 2006 publication from the [[Institute for Public Policy Research]] estimated 5.6 million British-born people lived outside of the United Kingdom.<ref name="BritsAbroad">{{cite news | title= Brits Abroad| url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/in_depth/brits_abroad/html/| work= [[BBC News]]| date= 2006-12-06| access-date=2009-04-13}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Sriskandarajah |first=Dhananjayan |author2=Drew, Catherine |title=Brits Abroad: Mapping the scale and nature of British emigration |url=http://www.ippr.org.uk/publicationsandreports/publication.asp?id=509 |date=December 11, 2006 |publisher=[[Institute for Public Policy Research|IPPR]] |access-date=2009-04-13 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080524215729/http://www.ippr.org.uk/publicationsandreports/publication.asp?id=509 |archive-date=2008-05-24 }}</ref>
After the [[Age of Discovery]] the British were one of the earliest and largest communities to emigrate out of Europe, and the [[British Empire]]'s expansion during the first half of the 19th century saw an "extraordinary dispersion of the British people", with particular concentrations "in [[Australasia]] and North America".<ref name="BritDis47">{{Harvnb|Ember et al.|2004|p=47}}.</ref>
The British Empire was "built on waves of migration overseas by British people",<ref name="Marsh254">{{harvnb|Marshall|2001|p=254}}.</ref> who left the United Kingdom and "reached across the globe and permanently affected population structures in three continents".<ref name="BritDis47"/> As a result of the [[British colonization of the Americas]], what became the United States was "easily the greatest single destination of emigrant British".<ref name="BritDis47"/>
Historically in the [[1790 United States Census]] estimate and presently in Australia, Canada and New Zealand "people of British origin came to constitute the majority of the population" contributing to these states becoming integral to the [[Anglosphere]].<ref name="Marsh254"/> There is also a significant population of people with British ancestry in [[South Africa]].
===Colonial period===
{{main|British colonization of the Americas}}
An English presence in North America began with the [[Roanoke Colony]] and [[Colony of Virginia]] in the late-16th century, but the first successful English settlement was established in 1607, on the [[James River (Virginia)|James River]] at [[Jamestown, Virginia|Jamestown]]. By the 1610s, an estimated 1,300 English people had travelled to North America, the "first of many millions from the British Isles".<ref name="BritDis48">{{Harvnb|Ember et al.|2004|p=48}}.</ref> In 1620 the [[Pilgrim (Plymouth Colony)|Pilgrims]] established the English imperial venture of [[Plymouth Colony]], beginning "a remarkable acceleration of permanent emigration from England" with over 60% of trans-Atlantic English migrants settling in the [[New England Colonies]].<ref name="BritDis48"/> During the 17th century, an estimated 350,000 English and Welsh migrants arrived in North America, which in the century after the [[Acts of Union 1707]] was surpassed in rate and number by Scottish and Irish migrants.<ref name="BritDis49">{{Harvnb|Ember et al.|2004|p=49}}.</ref>

The vast majority of the [[Founding Fathers of the United States]] were of mixed British extraction. Most of these were of English descent, with smaller numbers of those of Scottish, Irish or Scots-Irish, and Welsh ancestry. A minority were of high social status and can be classified as [[White Anglo-Saxon Protestant]] (WASP). Many of the prewar WASP elite were Loyalists who left the new nation.<ref>Richard D.

Nevertheless, longstanding cultural and historical ties have, in more modern times, resulted in the [[Special Relationship]], the exceptionally close political, diplomatic and military co-operation of [[United Kingdom – United States relations]].<ref name="wither">{{Citation|last=James|first=Wither|title=An Endangered Partnership: The Anglo-American Defence Relationship in the Early Twenty-first Century|date=March 2006|journal=European Security|volume=15|issue=1|pages=47–65|doi=10.1080/09662830600776694|s2cid=154879821|issn=0966-2839}}<!--| access-date =2007-01-09--></ref> [[Linda Colley]], a professor of history at [[Princeton University]] and specialist in Britishness, suggested that because of their colonial influence on the United States, the British find Americans a "mysterious and paradoxical people, physically distant but culturally close, engagingly similar yet irritatingly different".<ref>{{Harvnb|Colley|1992|p=134}}.</ref>
For over two centuries (1789-1989) of early U.S. history, all Presidents with the exception of two (Van Buren and Kennedy) were descended from the varied colonial British stock, from the Pilgrims and Puritans to the Scotch-Irish and English who settled the [[Appalachia]].<ref>[https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GOYg58I7g30C&pg=PA835&dq=andrew+jackson+president+great-great-great+grandfather+english+ancestry&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiDh4uxwqDeAhUqLcAKHWMTA-0Q6AEIJDAA#v=onepage&q=albions%20seed%20presidents%20&f=false Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America] - By David Hackett Fischer (P. 839)</ref>
==Cultural contributions==
Much of U.S. culture shows influences from nation states of British culture. Colonial ties to Great Britain spread the [[English language]], legal system and other cultural attributes.<ref name="books.google.co.uk">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OJilCCGFCTYC&pg=PR9 |title=Ethnic Groups of the Americas: An Encyclopedia: An Encyclopedia |author=James B. Minahan |page=9 |date=2013-03-14 |access-date=2016-10-22|isbn=9781610691642 }}</ref> Historian David Hackett Fischer has posited that four major streams of immigration from the British Isles in the colonial era contributed to the formation of a new American culture, summarised as follows:
* [[East Anglia]] to [[New England]] - ''The [[Puritan migration to New England (1620–1640)|Exodus]] of the English Puritans'' ([[Pilgrims (Plymouth Colony)|Pilgrims]] and [[Puritans#New England Puritans|Puritans]] influenced the [[Northeastern United States]]' corporate and educational culture)<ref>Fischer, ''Albion's Seed'', pp. 13–206</ref>
* The [[Southern England|South of England]] to the [[Southern United States|lowland South]] - ''The [[Cavalier]]s and [[Indentured servant|Indentured Servants]]'' ([[Gentry]] influenced the [[Southern United States]]' plantation culture)<ref>Fischer, ''Albion's Seed'' pp. 207–418</ref>
*[[Northern England]] to the [[Delaware Valley]] - ''The Friends' Migration'' ([[Quakers]] influenced the [[Mid-Atlantic states|Middle Atlantic]] and [[Midwestern United States]]' industrial culture)<ref>Fischer, ''Albion's Seed'', pp. 419–604</ref>
* The [[Scottish Lowlands]] to the [[Appalachia|Backcountry]] - ''The Flight from [[North Britain]]'' ([[Scotch-Irish American|Scotch-Irish]], of lowland Scottish and [[Anglo-Scottish border|border]] [[English people|English]] descent, influenced the [[Western United States]]' ranch culture and the [[Southern United States]]' common agrarian culture)<ref>Fischer, ''Albion's Seed'', pp. 605–782</ref>
Fischer's theory acknowledges the presence of other groups of immigrants during the colonial period, both from the British Isles (the Welsh and the Highland Scots) and not (Germans, Dutch, and French Huguenots), but believes that these did not culturally contribute as substantially to the United States as his main four.
===Historical influence===
[[Apple pie]] – [[New England]] was the first region to experience large-scale [[English colonial empire|English colonization]] in the early 17th century, beginning in 1620, and it was dominated by [[East Anglia]]n Calvinists, better known as the [[Puritan]]s. Baking was a particular favorite of the New Englanders and was the origin of dishes seen today as quintessentially "American", such as [[apple pie]] and the oven-roasted [[Thanksgiving (United States)|Thanksgiving]] turkey.<ref>Fischer, pp. 74, 114, 134–39.</ref> "As American as apple pie" is a well-known phrase used to suggest that something is all-American.
===Automakers===
[[Buick]] – [[David Dunbar Buick]] was a [[Scotland|Scottish]]-born American, a [[Detroit, Michigan|Detroit]]-based inventor, best known for founding the Buick Motor Company.

===Sports===
{{Main|Origins of baseball}}
[[Baseball]] - The earliest recorded game of base-ball for which the original source survives, involved the family of [[George II of Great Britain]], played indoors in London in November 1748. The Prince is reported as playing "Bass-Ball" again in September 1749 in [[Walton-on-Thames]], Surrey, against Lord Middlesex.<ref>{{cite news|title=Why isn't baseball more popular in the UK?|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-23425907|access-date=July 26, 2013|work=BBC News|date=2013-07-26|last1=Sulat|first1=Nate}}</ref> The English lawyer William Bray wrote in his diary that he had played a game of baseball on Easter Monday 1755 in [[Guildford]], also in [[Surrey]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/baseball/2799671/Major-League-Baseball-told-Your-sport-is-British-not-American.html |title=Major League Baseball Told: Your Sport Is British, Not American |date=September 11, 2008 |access-date=February 3, 2009 |work=Telegraph |location=London |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081016132738/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/baseball/2799671/Major-League-Baseball-told-Your-sport-is-British-not-American.html |archive-date=October 16, 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_7609000/7609897.stm |title=History of baseball exposed |work=BBC News |date=September 11, 2008 |access-date=August 3, 2013}}</ref> English lawyer William Bray recorded a game of baseball on [[Easter Monday]] 1755 in [[Guildford]], [[Surrey]]; Bray's diary was verified as authentic in September 2008.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/7622026.stm|title=BBC NEWS - UK - England - Baseball 'origin' uncovered|website=news.bbc.co.uk|access-date=17 March 2015|date=2008-09-17}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/southtoday/content/articles/2008/09/09/baseball_feature.shtml|title=BBC - South Today - Features - Baseball history|website=Bbc.co.uk|access-date=17 March 2015}}</ref> This early form of the game was apparently brought to North America by British immigrants. The first appearance of the term that exists in print was in "[[A Little Pretty Pocket-Book]]" in 1744, where it is called Base-Ball. Today, [[rounders]], which has been played in England since [[Tudor period|Tudor]] times, holds a similarity to baseball. Although, literary references to early forms of "base-ball" in the United Kingdom pre-date use of the term "rounders".<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/baseball/2799671/Major-League-Baseball-told-Your-sport-is-British-not-American.html|title=Major League Baseball told: Your sport is British, not American|author=Telegraph staff and agencies|date=11 September 2008|work=Telegraph.co.uk|access-date=17 March 2015}}</ref>

In addition, some places were named after the kings and queens of the former kingdoms of [[Kingdom of England|England]] and [[Kingdom of Ireland|Ireland]]. The name Virginia was first applied by Queen [[Elizabeth I]] (the "Virgin Queen") and Sir Walter Raleigh in 1584.,<ref>In 1584 [[Sir Walter Raleigh]] sent [[Philip Amadas]] and [[Arthur Barlowe]] to lead an exploration of what is now the [[North Carolina]] coast, and they returned with word of a regional "king" named "Wingina." This was modified later that year by Raleigh and the Queen to "Virginia", perhaps in part noting her status as the "Virgin Queen." {{cite book |title=Names on the Land: A Historical Account of Place-Naming in the United States |last= Stewart|first=George |author-link=George R.

'''British American''' usually refers to [[Americans]] whose [[ancestry|ancestral origin]] originates wholly or partly in the [[United Kingdom]] ([[England]], [[Scotland]], [[Wales]], [[Northern Ireland]], [[Cornwall]], [[Orkney]], and the [[Isle of Man]]). It is primarily a demographic or historical research category for people who have at least partial descent from peoples of [[Great Britain]] and the modern [[United Kingdom]], i.e. [[English Americans|English]], [[Scottish Americans|Scottish]], [[Welsh Americans|Welsh]], [[Scotch-Irish Americans|Scotch-Irish]], [[Orkney|Orcadian]], [[Manx Americans|Manx]] and [[Cornish Americans]].
Based on 2020 [[American Community Survey]] estimates, 1,934,397 individuals identified as having British ancestry, while a further 25,213,619 identified as having English ancestry, 5,298,861 Scottish ancestry and 1,851,256 Welsh ancestry. The total of these groups, at 34,298,133, was 10.5% of the total population. A further 31,518,129 individuals identified as having Irish ancestry, but this is not differentiated between modern Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Figures for Manx and Cornish ancestries are not separately reported, although Manx was reported prior to 1990, numbering 9,220 on the 1980 census. This figure also does not include people reporting ancestries in countries with majority or plurality British ancestries, such as New Zealander (21,575) or Australian (105,152).<ref name="factfinder.census.gov5">[https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?q=B04006%3A%20PEOPLE%20REPORTING%20ANCESTRY&tid=ACSDT5Y2020.B04006 B04006] - 2020 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimate</ref> There has been a significant drop overall, especially from the [[1980 United States Census|1980]] census where 49.59 million people reported English ancestry.
Demographers regard current figures as a serious under-count, as a large proportion of Americans of British descent have a tendency to identify as 'American' since [[1980 United States Census|1980]] where over 13.3 million or 5.9% of the total U.S. population self-identified as "American" or "United States", this was counted under "not specified".<ref>[https://www.census.gov/population/www/censusdata/files/pc80-s1-10/pc80-s1-10.pdf Ancestry of the Population by State: 1980] (Supplementary Report PC80-S1-10)

Not to be confused are cases when the term is also used in an entirely different (although possibly overlapping) sense to refer to people who are [[dual citizens]] of both the United Kingdom and the United States.
==Sense of heritage==
[[File:United Kingdom United States Locator.svg|thumb|right|upright=1.35|{{Legend0|#3c9d3c}}[[UK]] {{Legend0|#ff7500}}United States.]]
[[Americans]] of British heritage are often seen, and identify, as simply "[[American ancestry|American]]" due to the many historic, linguistic and cultural ties between [[Great Britain]] and the U.S. and their influence on the country's population. A leading specialist, Charlotte Erickson, found them to be ethnically "invisible".<ref>Charlotte Erickson, ''Invisible immigrants: the adaptation of English and Scottish immigrants in nineteenth-century America'' (1990)</ref> This may be due to the early establishment of British settlements; as well as to non-English groups having emigrated in order to establish significant communities.<ref name="lieberson1" />
==Number of British Americans==
Table below shows the results from 1980 when ancestry was first collected by the U.S. census and the 2010 American Community Survey. Response rates for the ancestry question was 90.4% in 1990 and 80.1% in 2000 for the total US population.

According to estimates by Thomas L. Purvis (1984), published in the ''European ancestry of the United States'', gives the ethnic composition of the American colonies from 1700 to 1755. British ancestry in 1755 was estimated to be 52% English and Welsh, 7.0% Scots-Irish, and 4% Scottish.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HbQWAAAAQBAJ&q=enduring+vision+ethnic+composition+colonial+america+1755&pg=PA99|title=The Enduring Vision: A History of the American People, Volume I: To 1877|first=Thomas L.|last=Purvis|access-date=November 5, 2019|isbn=9781285605876|date=2013-01-29}}</ref>

====American Council of Learned Societies (1929)====
The 1909 ''Century of Population Growth'' report came under intense scrutiny in the 1920s; its methodology was subject to criticism over fundamental flaws that cast doubt on the accuracy of its conclusions. The catalyst for controversy had been passage of the [[Immigration Act of 1924]], which imposed numerical quotas on each country of [[Europe]] limiting the number of immigrants to be admitted out of a finite total annual pool. The size of each national quota was determined by the [[National Origins Formula]], in part computed by estimating the origins of the [[Old Stock Americans|colonial stock]] population descended from [[White Americans]] enumerated in the [[1790 United States census|1790 Census]]. The undercount of other colonial stocks like [[German Americans]] and [[Irish Americans]] would thus have contemporary policy consequences. When CPG was produced in 1909, the concept of independent [[Ireland]] did not even exist. CPG made no attempt to further classify its estimated 1.9% Irish population to distinguish [[Celts (modern)|Celtic]] [[Irish Catholics]] of [[Gaelic Ireland]], who in 1922 formed the independent [[Irish Free State]], from the [[Scotch-Irish Americans|Scotch-Irish]] descendants of [[Ulster Scots people|Ulster Scots]] and [[Anglo-Irish people|Anglo-Irish]] of the [[Plantation of Ulster]], which became [[Northern Ireland]] and remained part of the [[United Kingdom]]. In 1927, proposed immigration quotas based on CPG figures were rejected by the President's Committee chaired by the [[United States Secretary of State|Secretaries of State]], [[United States Secretary of Commerce|Commerce]], and [[United States Secretary of Labor|Labor]], with the President reporting to Congress "the statistical and historical information available raises grave doubts as to the whole value of these computations as the basis for the purposes intended."<ref name="ACLS1929" />
Among the criticisms of ''A Century of Population Growth'':
* CPG failed to account for [[Anglicisation of names]], assuming any surname that could be English was actually English
* CPG failed to consider first names even when obviously foreign, assuming anyone with a surname that could be English was actually English
* CPG failed to consider regional variation in ethnic settlement e.g. surname ''Root'' could be assumed English in [[Vermont]] (less than 1% German), but more commonly a variant of German ''Roth'' in states with large [[German Americans|German American]] populations like populous [[Pennsylvania]] (home to more [[Germans]] than the entire population of Vermont)
* CPG started by classifying all names as Scotch, Irish, Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, or other. All remaining names which could not be classed with one of the 6 other listed nationalities, nor identified by the Census clerk as too exotic to be English, were assumed to be English
* CPG classification was an unscientific process by Census clerks with no training in history, genealogy, or linguistics, nor were scholars in those fields consulted
* CPG estimates were produced by a linear process with no checks on potential errors nor opportunity for peer review or scholarly revision once an individual clerk had assigned a name to a nationality
Concluding that CPG "had not been accepted by scholars as better than a first approximation of the truth", the [[United States Census Bureau|Census Bureau]] commissioned a study to produce new scientific estimates of the colonial American population, in collaboration with the [[American Council of Learned Societies]], in time to be adopted as basis for legal immigration quotas in 1929, and later published in the journal of the [[American Historical Association]], reproduced in the table below. Note: as in the original CPG report, the "English" category encompassed [[England and Wales]], grouping together all names classified as either "[[England|Anglican]]" (from [[England]]) or "[[Cambria]]n" (from [[Wales]]).<ref name="ACLS1929" />

==History==
===Overview===
The [[British diaspora]] consists of the scattering of [[British people]] and their descendants who [[emigrated]] from the United Kingdom. The diaspora is concentrated in countries that had mass migration such as the United States and that are part of the [[English-speaking world]]. A 2006 publication from the [[Institute for Public Policy Research]] estimated 5.6 million British-born people lived outside of the United Kingdom.<ref name="BritsAbroad">{{cite news | title= Brits Abroad| url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/in_depth/brits_abroad/html/| work= [[BBC News]]| date= 2006-12-06| access-date=2009-04-13}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Sriskandarajah |first=Dhananjayan |author2=Drew, Catherine |title=Brits Abroad: Mapping the scale and nature of British emigration |url=http://www.ippr.org.uk/publicationsandreports/publication.asp?id=509 |date=December 11, 2006 |publisher=[[Institute for Public Policy Research|IPPR]] |access-date=2009-04-13 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080524215729/http://www.ippr.org.uk/publicationsandreports/publication.asp?id=509 |archive-date=2008-05-24 }}</ref>
After the [[Age of Discovery]] the British were one of the earliest and largest communities to emigrate out of Europe, and the [[British Empire]]'s expansion during the first half of the 19th century saw an "extraordinary dispersion of the British people", with particular concentrations "in [[Australasia]] and North America".<ref name="BritDis47">{{Harvnb|Ember et al.|2004|p=47}}.</ref>
The British Empire was "built on waves of migration overseas by British people",<ref name="Marsh254">{{harvnb|Marshall|2001|p=254}}.</ref> who left the United Kingdom and "reached across the globe and permanently affected population structures in three continents".<ref name="BritDis47"/> As a result of the [[British colonization of the Americas]], what became the United States was "easily the greatest single destination of emigrant British".<ref name="BritDis47"/>
Historically in the [[1790 United States Census]] estimate and presently in Australia, Canada and New Zealand "people of British origin came to constitute the majority of the population" contributing to these states becoming integral to the [[Anglosphere]].<ref name="Marsh254"/> There is also a significant population of people with British ancestry in [[South Africa]].
===Colonial period===
{{main|British colonization of the Americas}}
An English presence in North America began with the [[Roanoke Colony]] and [[Colony of Virginia]] in the late-16th century, but the first successful English settlement was established in 1607, on the [[James River (Virginia)|James River]] at [[Jamestown, Virginia|Jamestown]]. By the 1610s, an estimated 1,300 English people had travelled to North America, the "first of many millions from the British Isles".<ref name="BritDis48">{{Harvnb|Ember et al.|2004|p=48}}.</ref> In 1620 the [[Pilgrim (Plymouth Colony)|Pilgrims]] established the English imperial venture of [[Plymouth Colony]], beginning "a remarkable acceleration of permanent emigration from England" with over 60% of trans-Atlantic English migrants settling in the [[New England Colonies]].<ref name="BritDis48"/> During the 17th century, an estimated 350,000 English and Welsh migrants arrived in North America, which in the century after the [[Acts of Union 1707]] was surpassed in rate and number by Scottish and Irish migrants.<ref name="BritDis49">{{Harvnb|Ember et al.|2004|p=49}}.</ref>

The vast majority of the [[Founding Fathers of the United States]] were of mixed British extraction. Most of these were of English descent, with smaller numbers of those of Scottish, Irish or Scots-Irish, and Welsh ancestry. A minority were of high social status and can be classified as [[White Anglo-Saxon Protestant]] (WASP). Many of the prewar WASP elite were Loyalists who left the new nation.<ref>Richard D.

Nevertheless, longstanding cultural and historical ties have, in more modern times, resulted in the [[Special Relationship]], the exceptionally close political, diplomatic and military co-operation of [[United Kingdom – United States relations]].<ref name="wither">{{Citation|last=James|first=Wither|title=An Endangered Partnership: The Anglo-American Defence Relationship in the Early Twenty-first Century|date=March 2006|journal=European Security|volume=15|issue=1|pages=47–65|doi=10.1080/09662830600776694|s2cid=154879821|issn=0966-2839}}<!--| access-date =2007-01-09--></ref> [[Linda Colley]], a professor of history at [[Princeton University]] and specialist in Britishness, suggested that because of their colonial influence on the United States, the British find Americans a "mysterious and paradoxical people, physically distant but culturally close, engagingly similar yet irritatingly different".<ref>{{Harvnb|Colley|1992|p=134}}.</ref>
For over two centuries (1789-1989) of early U.S. history, all Presidents with the exception of two (Van Buren and Kennedy) were descended from the varied colonial British stock, from the Pilgrims and Puritans to the Scotch-Irish and English who settled the [[Appalachia]].<ref>[https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GOYg58I7g30C&pg=PA835&dq=andrew+jackson+president+great-great-great+grandfather+english+ancestry&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiDh4uxwqDeAhUqLcAKHWMTA-0Q6AEIJDAA#v=onepage&q=albions%20seed%20presidents%20&f=false Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America] - By David Hackett Fischer (P. 839)</ref>
==Cultural contributions==
Much of U.S. culture shows influences from nation states of British culture. Colonial ties to Great Britain spread the [[English language]], legal system and other cultural attributes.<ref name="books.google.co.uk">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OJilCCGFCTYC&pg=PR9 |title=Ethnic Groups of the Americas: An Encyclopedia: An Encyclopedia |author=James B. Minahan |page=9 |date=2013-03-14 |access-date=2016-10-22|isbn=9781610691642 }}</ref> Historian David Hackett Fischer has posited that four major streams of immigration from the British Isles in the colonial era contributed to the formation of a new American culture, summarised as follows:
* [[East Anglia]] to [[New England]] - ''The [[Puritan migration to New England (1620–1640)|Exodus]] of the English Puritans'' ([[Pilgrims (Plymouth Colony)|Pilgrims]] and [[Puritans#New England Puritans|Puritans]] influenced the [[Northeastern United States]]' corporate and educational culture)<ref>Fischer, ''Albion's Seed'', pp. 13–206</ref>
* The [[Southern England|South of England]] to the [[Southern United States|lowland South]] - ''The [[Cavalier]]s and [[Indentured servant|Indentured Servants]]'' ([[Gentry]] influenced the [[Southern United States]]' plantation culture)<ref>Fischer, ''Albion's Seed'' pp. 207–418</ref>
*[[Northern England]] to the [[Delaware Valley]] - ''The Friends' Migration'' ([[Quakers]] influenced the [[Mid-Atlantic states|Middle Atlantic]] and [[Midwestern United States]]' industrial culture)<ref>Fischer, ''Albion's Seed'', pp. 419–604</ref>
* The [[Scottish Lowlands]] to the [[Appalachia|Backcountry]] - ''The Flight from [[North Britain]]'' ([[Scotch-Irish American|Scotch-Irish]], of lowland Scottish and [[Anglo-Scottish border|border]] [[English people|English]] descent, influenced the [[Western United States]]' ranch culture and the [[Southern United States]]' common agrarian culture)<ref>Fischer, ''Albion's Seed'', pp. 605–782</ref>
Fischer's theory acknowledges the presence of other groups of immigrants during the colonial period, both from the British Isles (the Welsh and the Highland Scots) and not (Germans, Dutch, and French Huguenots), but believes that these did not culturally contribute as substantially to the United States as his main four.
===Historical influence===
[[Apple pie]] – [[New England]] was the first region to experience large-scale [[English colonial empire|English colonization]] in the early 17th century, beginning in 1620, and it was dominated by [[East Anglia]]n Calvinists, better known as the [[Puritan]]s. Baking was a particular favorite of the New Englanders and was the origin of dishes seen today as quintessentially "American", such as [[apple pie]] and the oven-roasted [[Thanksgiving (United States)|Thanksgiving]] turkey.<ref>Fischer, pp. 74, 114, 134–39.</ref> "As American as apple pie" is a well-known phrase used to suggest that something is all-American.
===Automakers===
[[Buick]] – [[David Dunbar Buick]] was a [[Scotland|Scottish]]-born American, a [[Detroit, Michigan|Detroit]]-based inventor, best known for founding the Buick Motor Company.
===Motorcycle manufacturer===

===Sports===
{{Main|Origins of baseball}}
[[Baseball]] - The earliest recorded game of base-ball for which the original source survives, involved the family of [[George II of Great Britain]], played indoors in London in November 1748. The Prince is reported as playing "Bass-Ball" again in September 1749 in [[Walton-on-Thames]], Surrey, against Lord Middlesex.<ref>{{cite news|title=Why isn't baseball more popular in the UK?|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-23425907|access-date=July 26, 2013|work=BBC News|date=2013-07-26|last1=Sulat|first1=Nate}}</ref> The English lawyer William Bray wrote in his diary that he had played a game of baseball on Easter Monday 1755 in [[Guildford]], also in [[Surrey]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/baseball/2799671/Major-League-Baseball-told-Your-sport-is-British-not-American.html |title=Major League Baseball Told: Your Sport Is British, Not American |date=September 11, 2008 |access-date=February 3, 2009 |work=Telegraph |location=London |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081016132738/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/baseball/2799671/Major-League-Baseball-told-Your-sport-is-British-not-American.html |archive-date=October 16, 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_7609000/7609897.stm |title=History of baseball exposed |work=BBC News |date=September 11, 2008 |access-date=August 3, 2013}}</ref> English lawyer William Bray recorded a game of baseball on [[Easter Monday]] 1755 in [[Guildford]], [[Surrey]]; Bray's diary was verified as authentic in September 2008.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/7622026.stm|title=BBC NEWS - UK - England - Baseball 'origin' uncovered|website=news.bbc.co.uk|access-date=17 March 2015|date=2008-09-17}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/southtoday/content/articles/2008/09/09/baseball_feature.shtml|title=BBC - South Today - Features - Baseball history|website=Bbc.co.uk|access-date=17 March 2015}}</ref> This early form of the game was apparently brought to North America by British immigrants. The first appearance of the term that exists in print was in "[[A Little Pretty Pocket-Book]]" in 1744, where it is called Base-Ball. Today, [[rounders]], which has been played in England since [[Tudor period|Tudor]] times, holds a similarity to baseball. Although, literary references to early forms of "base-ball" in the United Kingdom pre-date use of the term "rounders".<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/baseball/2799671/Major-League-Baseball-told-Your-sport-is-British-not-American.html|title=Major League Baseball told: Your sport is British, not American|author=Telegraph staff and agencies|date=11 September 2008|work=Telegraph.co.uk|access-date=17 March 2015}}</ref>

In addition, some places were named after the kings and queens of the former kingdoms of [[Kingdom of England|England]] and [[Kingdom of Ireland|Ireland]]. The name Virginia was first applied by Queen [[Elizabeth I]] (the "Virgin Queen") and Sir Walter Raleigh in 1584.,<ref>In 1584 [[Sir Walter Raleigh]] sent [[Philip Amadas]] and [[Arthur Barlowe]] to lead an exploration of what is now the [[North Carolina]] coast, and they returned with word of a regional "king" named "Wingina." This was modified later that year by Raleigh and the Queen to "Virginia", perhaps in part noting her status as the "Virgin Queen." {{cite book |title=Names on the Land: A Historical Account of Place-Naming in the United States |last= Stewart|first=George |author-link=George R.

</p><p>Based on 2020 <a href="/enwiki/wiki/American_Community_Survey" title="American Community Survey">American Community Survey</a> estimates, 1,934,397 individuals identified as having British ancestry, while a further 25,213,619 identified as having English ancestry, 5,298,861 Scottish ancestry and 1,851,256 Welsh ancestry. The total of these groups, at 34,298,133, was 10.5% of the total population. A further 31,518,129 individuals identified as having Irish ancestry, but this is not differentiated between modern Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Figures for Manx and Cornish ancestries are not separately reported, although Manx was reported prior to 1990, numbering 9,220 on the 1980 census. This figure also does not include people reporting ancestries in countries with majority or plurality British ancestries, such as New Zealander (21,575) or Australian (105,152).<sup id="cite_ref-factfinder.census.gov5_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-factfinder.census.gov5-4">[3]</a></sup> There has been a significant drop overall, especially from the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/1980_United_States_Census" class="mw-redirect" title="1980 United States Census">1980</a> census where 49.59 million people reported English ancestry.

<p><a href="/enwiki/wiki/Americans" title="Americans">Americans</a> of British heritage are often seen, and identify, as simply "<a href="/enwiki/wiki/American_ancestry" title="American ancestry">American</a>" due to the many historic, linguistic and cultural ties between <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Great_Britain" title="Great Britain">Great Britain</a> and the U.S. and their influence on the country's population.

<p>The 1909 <i>Century of Population Growth</i> report came under intense scrutiny in the 1920s; its methodology was subject to criticism over fundamental flaws that cast doubt on the accuracy of its conclusions. The catalyst for controversy had been passage of the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Immigration_Act_of_1924" title="Immigration Act of 1924">Immigration Act of 1924</a>, which imposed numerical quotas on each country of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Europe" title="Europe">Europe</a> limiting the number of immigrants to be admitted out of a finite total annual pool. The size of each national quota was determined by the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/National_Origins_Formula" title="National Origins Formula">National Origins Formula</a>, in part computed by estimating the origins of the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Old_Stock_Americans" title="Old Stock Americans">colonial stock</a> population descended from <a href="/enwiki/wiki/White_Americans" title="White Americans">White Americans</a> enumerated in the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/1790_United_States_census" title="1790 United States census">1790 Census</a>. The undercount of other colonial stocks like <a href="/enwiki/wiki/German_Americans" title="German Americans">German Americans</a> and <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Irish_Americans" title="Irish Americans">Irish Americans</a> would thus have contemporary policy consequences. When CPG was produced in 1909, the concept of independent <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Ireland" title="Ireland">Ireland</a> did not even exist. CPG made no attempt to further classify its estimated 1.9% Irish population to distinguish <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Celts_(modern)" title="Celts (modern)">Celtic</a> <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Irish_Catholics" title="Irish Catholics">Irish Catholics</a> of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Gaelic_Ireland" title="Gaelic Ireland">Gaelic Ireland</a>, who in 1922 formed the independent <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Irish_Free_State" title="Irish Free State">Irish Free State</a>, from the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Scotch-Irish_Americans" title="Scotch-Irish Americans">Scotch-Irish</a> descendants of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Ulster_Scots_people" title="Ulster Scots people">Ulster Scots</a> and <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Anglo-Irish_people" title="Anglo-Irish people">Anglo-Irish</a> of the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Plantation_of_Ulster" title="Plantation of Ulster">Plantation of Ulster</a>, which became <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Northern_Ireland" title="Northern Ireland">Northern Ireland</a> and remained part of the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</a>. In 1927, proposed immigration quotas based on CPG figures were rejected by the President's Committee chaired by the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_State" title="United States Secretary of State">Secretaries of State</a>, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_Commerce" title="United States Secretary of Commerce">Commerce</a>, and <a href="/enwiki/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_Labor" title="United States Secretary of Labor">Labor</a>, with the President reporting to Congress "the statistical and historical information available raises grave doubts as to the whole value of these computations as the basis for the purposes intended."<sup id="cite_ref-ACLS1929_26-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ACLS1929-26">[25]</a></sup>
Among the criticisms of <i>A Century of Population Growth</i>:
</p>
<ul><li>CPG failed to account for <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Anglicisation_of_names" title="Anglicisation of names">Anglicisation of names</a>, assuming any surname that could be English was actually English</li>
<li>CPG failed to consider first names even when obviously foreign, assuming anyone with a surname that could be English was actually English</li>
<li>CPG failed to consider regional variation in ethnic settlement e.g. surname <i>Root</i> could be assumed English in <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Vermont" title="Vermont">Vermont</a> (less than 1% German), but more commonly a variant of German <i>Roth</i> in states with large <a href="/enwiki/wiki/German_Americans" title="German Americans">German American</a> populations like populous <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Pennsylvania" title="Pennsylvania">Pennsylvania</a> (home to more <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Germans" title="Germans">Germans</a> than the entire population of Vermont)</li>
<li>CPG started by classifying all names as Scotch, Irish, Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, or other. All remaining names which could not be classed with one of the 6 other listed nationalities, nor identified by the Census clerk as too exotic to be English, were assumed to be English</li>
<li>CPG classification was an unscientific process by Census clerks with no training in history, genealogy, or linguistics, nor were scholars in those fields consulted</li>
<li>CPG estimates were produced by a linear process with no checks on potential errors nor opportunity for peer review or scholarly revision once an individual clerk had assigned a name to a nationality</li></ul>
<p>Concluding that CPG "had not been accepted by scholars as better than a first approximation of the truth", the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/United_States_Census_Bureau" title="United States Census Bureau">Census Bureau</a> commissioned a study to produce new scientific estimates of the colonial American population, in collaboration with the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/American_Council_of_Learned_Societies" title="American Council of Learned Societies">American Council of Learned Societies</a>, in time to be adopted as basis for legal immigration quotas in 1929, and later published in the journal of the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/American_Historical_Association" title="American Historical Association">American Historical Association</a>, reproduced in the table below. Note: as in the original CPG report, the "English" category encompassed <a href="/enwiki/wiki/England_and_Wales" title="England and Wales">England and Wales</a>, grouping together all names classified as either "<a href="/enwiki/wiki/England" title="England">Anglican</a>" (from <a href="/enwiki/wiki/England" title="England">England</a>) or "<a href="/enwiki/wiki/Cambria" title="Cambria">Cambrian</a>" (from <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Wales" title="Wales">Wales</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-ACLS1929_26-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ACLS1929-26">[25]</a></sup>

<p>Fischer's theory acknowledges the presence of other groups of immigrants during the colonial period, both from the British Isles (the Welsh and the Highland Scots) and not (Germans, Dutch, and French Huguenots), but believes that these did not culturally contribute as substantially to the United States as his main four.
