CB, the USA accent is a good pointer to the proportions of each. <21% Welsh, Scottish and Irish so maybe you meant British Isles? But you already know how the Irish feel about the English.> Signs advertising jobs in New York which read "No Irish need apply" probably weren't good for getting people of Irish ancestry to offer support to England for a war against Germans, the descendants of whom in the USA were probably not that thrilled with the idea either. I guess the segregated melanin-rich were not that pleased with the idea, nor the Quakers, pacifists, isolationists and Declaration of Independentists. It's not surprising that there was a quorum and a majority thinking it best to leave Europe to it. I'm just a bit amused at the idea, now current, that it was the USA which led the charge for freedom against the malevolence of Hitler and the Third Reich. Mqurice
