Answer:
The Anglo-Americans saw themselves as Anglo-Saxon, and they also had more Anglo-Saxon influence than Norman, especially in New England. This is because a large percentage of the settlers to America were descended from the Puritans, who rejected the Anglicanism of the Anglo-Norman elite of England.

When Americans say they have Anglo-Saxon ancestors, they mean to say that their ancestors were from the original English stock and, therefore, are some of the first immigrants who settled what is now America.
