Subject: RE: BS: Are there any English-Americans?
Here's another one to consider: the southeastern continental US, particularly what is referred to domestically as "the deep South."
The much-caricatured "Southern" accent -- or is it accents -- has some relationship to England and English speech. The late lamented Alan Rickman remarked on this when he played a role in "Something that the Lord Made," a biopic on HBO, in the character of a Southern US physician.
I don't know, as a Yankee from around Lake Erie, how seriously the "Southerners" take their English ancestry, but it is there, regardless.
