French, Spanish and Russian Before Independence from Britain there was 2 and 3 quarters centuries of American history that is now largely ignoredWww@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: That's true!. In American history there is a very large emphasis on the English colonies, and little time spent on learning about Native Americans, the kingdom of Hawaii, or the French, Spanish, or Russian colonies!. People seem to have missed the point of the question because it has nothing to do with ancestry!. Www@QuestionHome@Com The ancestors of every American were either: a) kicked out of every decent country in the world b) escaped every rathole in the world c) captured overseas, brought here and enslaved by (a) or (b) d) driven off their land and subjugated by (a) or (b) We've got the "heritage" of every human that ever lived!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Why should Americans concern themselves with something which did not happen in North America!? The very first colony in North America, what became the USA, was set up at Jamestown VA in 1607 - that's four hundred and one years ago in this year of 2008-AD!. The Jamestown VA colony of 1607 was entirely English!. It established English Law in North America and brought also the King James Bible!.

King James II of England http://www!.bbc!.co!.uk/history/historic_fi!.!.!. Www@QuestionHome@Com Fax4voice3 sums it up quite well!. I can account for Irish, English, Scot, and German - and there is a question about a sailor aboard the ship that brought my Great-grandmother here from Bremerhaven!. We think that was the family's story to avoid acknowledging a bastard, but who really knows!? She's dead and never admitted anything to anyone!. Guess old Otto just appeared one day - but she was kicked out of her father's house in Berlin and little Otto appeared three (3) months after her arrival here!. I am PRIMARILY Scots/Irish and German!. Who cares!? Other than the D!.A!.R!. of course!.!.!.those ancestors were Irishmen who had previously been forced out of Scotland by the English!. Gee - I wonder why they fought the British in the Revolution!? 1!. We are NOT stupid!. 2!. During the "Dark Ages!." monks in Ireland slaved away at copying by hand (of course) the History of the World as it was known at the time!. That's why it's said that the Irish Saved Civilization!.Www@QuestionHome@Com So are you going to tell us what we're missing!?!?!?
