Now Celebrating Settler-American Heritage Weeks

October 08th, 2018 by Patrick Henry

From Columbus Day, through Thanksgiving, we celebrate the rich heritage of Settler-Americans, including Colonial-Americans, Pioneer-Americans, English-Americans, Scots-Irish Americans, and Conquistador-Americans, and honor their vibrant contribution to our national fabric.

From their curious folkways such as freedom under law, square dancing, and white guilt, to their various scientific achievements and inventions, such as calculus, the Chia pet, toilet paper, and marketing, truly they are part of who we are!

Last I checked, calculus was independently invented by a German and an Englishman, not by Americans of any hyphenation.

The Chia pet is definitely ours, though! (Despite the surname, I’m Settler-American on my mother’s side.)

If I understand how these things work, Settler Americans get to claim credit for Newton.

Since I can’t comment on the tabbed post above asking about sites where you can identify your early American ancestry, I’ll post this here:
