Get the Ancient Colored American mug.Refers to Ancient Americans who were found in America, whose presence on the land extends back thousands of years. The term “Colored American” was later used in early U.S. records to describe these people, but over time they were mis-associated with Africa due to racial assumptions, despite being originally identified in and of America.

Historical Note (1828):
Noah Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language defines “American” as “a native of America” and “colored” as a descriptor of appearance, not foreign origin. This confirms that “Colored American” originally meant a people identified in America, not an imported or immigrant population, and that later racial associations were applied after the fact, not inherent to the term.
