Anglo-Saxonism-Culture-Kelsie Hewitt


Anglo- Saxonism was a popular idea in the United States and Britain. It was often linked with the idea of the Manifest Destiny. They believed that the destination of the country was to be expanded on to other countries. Anglo-Saxonism was a reason or an excuse for people to justify racism.  A direct meaning would be “the quality, qualities, traits, or outlook regarded as distinctive of the English or of the people of English descent” - http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anglo-saxonism
An Anglo- Saxon is someone whose native language is English.  They usually originate from the British are of Europe. Often times, their way is speaking is rude and vulgar, especially to someone who is not also an Anglo Saxon.
