This includes 25,536,410 (12.5%) who were "English alone". Despite being the largest self-identified ancestral origin in the United States, demographers still regard the number of English Americans as an undercount. As the majority of English Americans are the descendants of settlers who first arrived during the English Colonial period which began over 400 years ago, many Americans are either unaware of this heritage or choose to elect a more recent known ancestral group even if English is their primary ancestry.
