In 1760, America's population was estimated to be around 1.5 million people, primarily composed of English colonists, along with smaller groups of Dutch, German, Scottish, Irish, and enslaved Africans. The population was concentrated along the Atlantic coast, particularly in the New England and Middle Colonies. The demographic makeup was diverse, reflecting both European Immigration and the presence of Indigenous peoples. This growing population was beginning to develop a distinct American identity, influenced by a mix of European cultures and local conditions.
