The culture of the United States of America is primarily of Western
origin, but is influenced by a multicultural ethos that includes
African, Native American, Asian, Pacific Island, and Latin American
people and their cultures. It also has its own distinct social and
cultural characteristics, such as dialect, music, arts, social habits,
cuisine, and folklore. The United States is ethnically and racially
diverse as a result of large-scale migration throughout its
history.The European roots of the United States originate with the
English settlers of colonial America during British rule. The
varieties of English people, as opposed to the other peoples on the
British Isles, were the overwhelming majority ethnic group in the 17th
century (population of the colonies in 1700 was 250,000) and were
47.9% of percent of the total population of 3. 9 million. They
constituted 60% of the whites at the first census in 1790 (%: 3.5
Welsh, 8.5 Ulster Scots, 4.3 Scots, 4.7 Southern Irish, 7.2 German,
2.7 Dutch, 1.7 French and 2 Swedish), The American Revolution, Colin
Bonwick, 1991, p. 254. The English ethnic group contributed the major
cultural and social mindset and attitudes that evolved into the
American character. Of the total population in each colony they
numbered from 30% in Pennsylvania to 85% in Massachusetts, Becoming
America, Jon Butler, 2000, pp. 9â€"11. Large non-English immigrant
populations from the 1720s to 1775, such as the Germans (100,000 or
more), Scotch Irish (250,000), added enriched and modified the English
cultural substrate, The Encyclopedia of Colonial and Revolutionary
America, Ed. John Mack Faragher, 1990, pp. 200â€"202. The religious
outlook was some versions of Protestantism (1.6% of the population
were English, German and Irish Catholics). Culture of the United States Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
