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 China, Japan, Korea and the Philippines. In total, there are about 7, 5 million Asian Americans (about 3% of the population).
