The Melting Pot

The map that shows where America came from: Fascinating illustration shows the ancestry of EVERY county in the US
Census data shows heritage of 317 million modern Americans
Clusters show where immigrants from different nations chose to settle

Largest ancestry grouping in the nation are of German descent with almost 50 million people

African American or Black is the second largest grouping with just over 40 million people

Almost 20 million people claim to have 'American' ancestry for political reasons and because they are unsure of their family's genealogy

    This is what I love most about America. We were forced from our home lands for various reasons. Wars, religious persecution, famines, droughts, the search for something better...We were the world's castoffs. That built the greatest nation the world had ever seen.


    Sad to see it in decline, but that happens with every empire.
