European ancestry =/= European identity. Great portion of colonists considered themselves colonists first, Americans second, English last

The United States sure rejected other European origins, such as the Irish, the Spanish, Catholics and Anglicans

That the U.S. wasn't intended as a European extension? The English did not consider themselves extensions of Spain, France, etc.
