Why does the US speak English if they hate the English -- Why not speak French or Spanish?

Answer 1

Who said they hate us? Where on earth did you get that absurd idea from? Anyway, they speak French in parts of Louisiana and Spanish in the southern part of states which border Mexico. It's perfectly possible to be in border states and not hear any English being spoken.

Answer 2

First of all, Americans speak English since the United States was a former British colony. However, most Americans have positive views of the British and English. Most of the negative comments between Americans and Brits about the other's country is good-natured ribbing between brothers, not strong criticism between adversaries.
