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.
