Alby, what about German protestants? And Brits and Scots? The USA received lots of immigrants of that kind.
I think only among Catholics in the USA. be them hispanics, poles, italians or irish you find lots of people with non english ancestry. You think most americans don't have any ancestor who lived during the XVIII century in the thirteen colonies?I need a foot massage

Looking for references, I only found this textbook entry so far which does not include a citation.

Here's some more visual data:
The English are concentrated in Maine, upstate New York, and Utah. Sparse otherwise."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

How much immigration has the US had from Africa since 1840? If 38 million black people could be descended from the 2.5 millions slaves that were around in 1840, that kind of undermines your argument that most Americans must be descended from people who came there since then.

Populations in 1900 vs. 2000
UK: 38.2M... 59.1M +55% in 100 years (no mass emigration as far as I know)
France: 40.7M... 59M +45% in 100 years (no mass emigration as far as I know; the wars probably were costly though)
US: 75.9M... 281.4M +270% in 100 years
Why the huge variance in US population growth? Is there any reason to suspect Americans ****ed more than the British and French counterparts in the 20th century?

**** let's even compare it to the prolific Catholics... Ireland saw virtually no population growth in the past century, probably due to all the emigration... Spain and Portugal aren't known for much emigration in this time period, though:
Spain: 18.5M... 40.2M +117% in 100 years
Portugal: 5.4M... 10.2M +88% in 100 years
American population growth even far outstrips them! Did Anglo-Americans really have that many babies?! Or is it the immigrants?
You get some people who claim to be part-Cherokee or had ancestors supposedly come from off the Mayflower but once they do some digging, they're surprised to learn their family first set foot in America in like 1905 or something.
Except for Blacks, we are a nation of immigrants from 1850 on."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

If you use this data along with total populations in the US census, I can easily conceive of the population of the US increasing by +150% over the course of the 20th century if you factor out immigration. Having children isn't simply a matter of religious beliefs or how much you enjoy sex, contrary to Al's insinuations.

Why did Americans supposedly reproduce far more than their French, British, Spanish, and Portuguese counterparts? Is there any reason to explain such a difference? Was such a dramatic and apparent difference (which would amount to several more children per family and would surely be noticeable) ever noted by contemporaries?"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi
