That's nice, but:

1. It's a definition for the word 'American', not the phrase 'American race'.

2. It's from 1828. I don't think usage from 190 years ago is very relevant. Language changes pretty quickly.

3. That does not match what OP was talking about. They were talking about a further distinction within white Americans. Unless I'm mistaken.
