Here is the 1870 census of the USA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1870_United_States_census
Note, indigenous people were less than 1%. New York City had the largest proportion of immigrants at 45%. Your claims of "only natives were there" and "everyone else immigrated from somewhere" are demonstrably false.
How is it false? “Natives: 25,731, total population: 38,925,598“
Are you being dense on purpose? The US has been a country for 250 years and the Mayflower landed 400 years ago. Most of the people were born in the US.
Yes, that’s exactly it, I’m the one being dense on purpose.
'*The constitutional population excludes the populations of Native Americans "maintaining their tribal relations and living upon Government reservations" and "the newly acquired district of Alaska."'
