Wewll, historically, the English are the descendants of 3 Germanic tribes -- the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes -- that came to Britain in the 5th through 7th centuries CE. According to Wikipedia: "Before the late 20th century it was thought that the Saxon migration was extensive, and that the previous inhabitants of Britain had either fled to Wales, Cornwall, and Scotland (the areas known as the "Celtic fringe") or had been killed. However, a consensus arose among historians in the late 20th century that the migration had been only of the elites - the only persons considered worth mentioning in most ancient histories - and that the common people did not flee; the existence of the Celtic fringe was therefore thought not to be caused by the Celts fleeing there but by the Saxon elite (and therefore Saxon culture) not reaching those areas. Recent genetic testing has suggested that the native English are genetically nearly identical to the Scots, Irish, and Welsh, and that a Saxon elite merely replaced a Celtic elite, leaving the common people (who were mainly of pre-Celtic ancestry) alone for the most part. It may therefore be misleading to consider the Saxons as the "ancestors of the English" or to overemphasize the genetic differences (as opposed to cultural differences) between various areas of the British Isles." So that's where the English came from. Native Americans are believed to have come from Asia, approximately 12,000 years ago, walking across a land bridge between what is now Russia and what is now Alaska during the last Ice Age when the sea levels were a lot lower. From the Pacific Northwest, they migrated south and east as far south as South America and as far east as the East Coast of North America. The ancestors of all other modern-day Americans emigrated from every continent and every culture on Earth.

Answer 4

The only water the British crossed that night was the Charles River because the harbor had been CLOSED since the Boston Tea Party. Initially, 2 lanterns were shown so Paul and his fellow riders would know the British were crossing the River, and then 1 was flashed to show an OVERLAND crossing. Revere also did NOT shout "The British are coming" because (1) the mission (or his ride) was meant to be kept secret; and (2) many of the citizens still believed themselves to be British citizens. Instead, it is noted by eyewitnesses that night that what he said were "The regulars are coming out."
