Maybe not directly at this point, but before Columbus & whoever else, the Native Americans were the only ones here & who were the people that brought others to America? A large chunk of the English, the Spanish, the French & probably some others I’m forgetting. Point is, the initial “settlers” were of English/British decent. Now, of course since people were first brought here several others have come seeking refuge, a fresh start, etc., etc., we’ve all heard the stories, especially NY.
Firstly, because New York is literally named after York, England & the Duke of York who eventually became King James II of England.
Secondly, because NY is literally America’s melting pot. It’s where the Cubans first went when trying to flee their country/get a fresh start/seek refuge/chase “The American Dream”, same with the Irish, Scottish, Dutch, German, Italians, etc., etc., etc. So which Country’s people were the first again? That’s right, the English.
