The Old Stock (also called Pioneer Stock or Colonial Stock) is a colloquial name for Americans who are descended from the original settlers of the Thirteen Colonies, especially ones who have inherited last names from that era ("Old Stock families"). Historically, Old Stock Americans have been mainly White Protestants from Northern Europe whose ancestors emigrated to British America in the 17th and 18th centuries.[2][3][4][5]
In the 19th and 20th centuries the Old Stock, especially English Protestants, gained a reputation for some of their members opposing or mistrusting Catholic immigrants to America, whom they saw as a threat to traditional American republican values due to their perceived allegiance to a foreign pope.[6][7][8][9]
