Indeed. There are African Americans, Irish Americans, Polish Americans,
Scottish Americans... why not English Americans?
Have you ever seen a TV show called "Lie To Me", starring Tim Roth as Dr Cal
Lightman? Lightman is English and his daughter is proud to call herself an
English American. But when she wants to wind her dad up, she claims that she
thought they were Australian.

Maybe because we were the enemy in 1776 and 1812. Or possibly English American is the default and doesn't need to be said. The fact that Americans don't speak Polish or Erse or Swahili says something.

My family can't be accused of rebellion against the Crown in 1776. My dad's family [my great great grandparents] did not come to the USA until the late 1840s.
Nor can they be accused of rebellion in 1860. They were living in California plus my great great grandfather served in the Union Army during that War Between the States.
