White americans came from white settlers from Europe.

White Europeans came from black Africans, way back in the early days of human existence.

Being further from the Equator, they didn't need the protection from the sun offered by dark skin.

And, since the body needs a bit of sunlight to produce certain vitamins, there is a direct Health benefit from being pale if you're living some distance from the equator.
