A MELTING POT
The United States of America has probably one of the most “mixed
populations” in the world. This is why it is often called “melting pot”. The
first Americans were the Native Americans- there are about 2 million of them
today, about 0, 8% of the population. Their ancestors came to America over a
“land bridge” from Asia 40,000 years before Columbus.
The European Arrive
Many years later, in the 1600s, people arrived from Europe. The first group
came from England and France. Today about 32 million Americans (about
13%) have English ancestors from over 300 years ago. The Europeans also
took people by force from Africa to work for them in the “New World”. As
slaves they had a very hard and difficult life, and many of them died during
the journey to America or on tobacco and cotton farms. There are about 30
million black Americans (about 12% of the population) in the United States
today and most of them are descendants of slaves. More recently, people
have come to the United States from other parts of the world. Between 1820
and 1860 many people came from Germany and Ireland – about 58 million
(about 23%) of Americans have German ancestors and about 39 million
(15%) have Irish ancestors. From 1860 to 1920 many people came from other
European countries including Russia, Poland, Greece, Turkey and Italy.
The USA today
Today the fastest growing group in the United States is Hispanic. There are
about 25 million Hispanics (about 9% of the population) in the United States
who came from Spanish-speaking countries such as Cuba, Mexico and Puerto
Rico. There are also large numbers of people from Asian countries, including
