USA was colonized by europeans mostly, I believe ?
The Cajun were french Canadians
20% of the population in 1776 were slaves who came from Africa. There are more countries outside Europe
Not like the Europeans colonized those African countries at the time.
The Scramble for Africa happened after the USA was established as a country
Oh, these were definitely not the people who decided how to handle/name/format stuff, sadly...
20% is a lot ! there are more countries that..? I think you forgot a word
