Are American true native speakers of English?

Why single out the Scots and the Irish? And why overlook the Welsh guys?

Every individual native to these islands in the true sense of the word has ancestors who didn't speak English...they were already roaming about this fair land dressed in their very best woad long, long before the English Language was "invented" in what is now England. Ancient Britons speaking Ancient "British". ;-)

I was wondering, do people from Ireland, Scotland, and Wales consider themselves to be Celtic or Anglo-Saxon or both? I ask because it seems like England has had major influece over these countries over the years.

It's true, Cherokees are definitely of pure Germanic stock.
