No, the largest demographic in the US at independence through to this day is German. English is third.

That actually is completely unrelated to what I said but it's not even accurate. Those of English descent were about 47% of the population in 1775. Add those of British descent generally and it was much higher. Germans were a small minority centered mostly in Pennsylvania.

There is reason to question whether those of German descent are tops even today but again it is unrelated to what I said.

Oops, I am wrong. Just check it and there were only 200,000 Germans in America in 1790 with 1.4M Brits.
