This is very true. Hengst and Horsa were almost on our seal. The Founding Fathers, some of whom were educated in Britain, wanted America to be free of the monarchy, not free of its Britishness. In many ways, they believed Americans were Englishmen perfected, and America was a truly Anglo-Saxon society. Though, of course, there was resistance to Anglo-Saxonism in the South where another ideology was formed, Anglo-Normanism. Southerners in the 1800s considered themselves to be a “Latin” or “Latino” people (Dont believe me, look it up). The Southern upper class considered themselves to be descendants of the Norman conquerors, French Huguenots, and other Latin peoples. There was in direct contrast to the Saxon foundation of the country and as such the Confederacy was a culmination of everything anti-American. Nevertheless, it was a British ideology, created by Anglos, and founded on the idea of British upper class superiority.

You don't seem to understand the concept of state craft, how states or nations form and what any of that means. You are looking at this through a modern perspective which makes it wrong.
The people in the photograph were not American until 1924 when law enacted made them so.
Aboriginals never considered themselves American nor did they create a state called ''America''. The physical landscape is irrelevant. France was once called Gaul that is until the Gauls were wiped out ethnically and culturally.
The American state grew out of the British colonies not out of aboriginal tribes.
