The importance is due to our heritage, family ancestry and history of our nation. I have studied my family ancestry and am a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution- DAR. We have ancestors who fought in that war. My ancestors were slave owners, (sorry!) We have a murder victim in my history as well as a murderer! Robert E Less is in my family line too. As well as president Zachary Taylor. Lots of interesting stuff to learn about your heritage and ancestors.

The only native people of the United States are the American Indian, which are not a single group but made up of many different groups. Everyone else in the United States besides the American Indians have ancestry from somewhere other that America. As such it is a statement of identity even though most are not pure blooded anything as most United States Citizens are a mix of many different races, cultures and countries. One dominant ethnicity is for some reason chosen but very few are all one ethnic race.
