varieties of English. According to the

Original Research
Some IP went into the demographic section and combined the numbers for "English" and "American" into one ancestry group without any proper citation. There is no source that combines these numbers into one coherent category. While it may be true that a number of people who select "American" ancestry have predominately English backgrounds (and this is more so the case in the Deep South), there are also Americans with mixed or vague backgrounds who select this ancestry, and a number of African-Americans also self-identify as "American" on the census (see here
[1]). So you cannot add these numbers together -you're grouping people who don't have the same ancestries or even the same race.

Physical Geography
I would propose expanding one of the lede paragraphs, the one starting with physical geography, to include the USGS
physiographic classifications of New England as a province within the larger
Appalachian Highlands physiographic division. The digitized version of the
physiographic map of the USGS makes it much easier to map the regions of the country. New England is one of seven provinces of the Appalachian Highlands, which together with Canada's
Appalachian Uplands makes up the multi-country
Appalachian Mountains.
In the geography section of the article, the USGS physiographical map of New England can be included, which includes five "sections." the New England Uplands, New England Seaboard Lowland, Green Mountain, White Mountain, and Taconic.
