Well that may be true to a point, but remember that the people whom colonized New England were mostly British that included the Welsh, the Scots, the Irish and the English. So you cannot rightly call everyone from Great Britain, Anglo-Saxons. Remember that the very first British who defeated Julius Caesar with thousands of chariots in 55BC when he attempted a foothold in Britain were not Saxons or Angles. Yes the Britons actually used chariots, two men on the chariot and two horses harnessed. That was the reason the Romans called the Britons barbarians because they never fought fairly. The British chariots were used with trained fighting horses that mowed down the legions. NOT FAIR said the Romans. Anyway, the first British were NOT Saxons, or Angles, or Celts, or Jutes, they were real BRITONS. When the Saxons started invading Britain at around 510AD on the eastern shore it was the Saxons who first named the Britons, "WALISHE" which means stranger and that is where the name WELSH is from. So bottom line, the British whom colonized New England were mainly Scots, Welsh, Irish and English.
