Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80494845 If there already was a United States of America in Latin or South America then you would have a point, but there was not. And if they made one today we had the name first so it would be on them to specify. |

Read the preamble of the Constitution. Mexicans and Canadians have never been widely known as Americans even though they live on the Continent of North America. US citizens are "Americans". Other dwellers in North America are called 3rd world irrelevant trash like Canadian and Mexican socialists. We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. https://imgur.com/a/dhWSgCA Last Edited by The_Gardener on 06/28/2022 10:54 AM Who is a liar more than one who denies that Jesus is the Messiah?

The claim inspired cartographer Martin Waldseemüller to recognize Vespucci's accomplishments in 1507 by applying the Latinized form "America" for the first time to a map showing the New World. Other cartographers followed suit, and by 1532 the name America was permanently affixed to the newly discovered continents.” Wikipedia- |

The peoppe of the US cant be referred to as States, Uniteders, or any other asinine terms as all other variation, beside American .. Violate the English language. People from The Americas -- the continents -- are Americano. North Americano now or South Americano... Or Latin Americano.. (You know... Latin-o). American, for Citizens of the USA, is the proper exo- and endonym. So you're wrong all around OP. |

Perhaps a better name would be the 'States of America, Below Canada and Above Mexico'. But that is rather wordy... Quoting: Recreational Troll United State of the UNION of America actually, United as a union of states. In other words, we are not a regular country we are a UNION, and the People are the ones at the core of this Union. We are not like Communist USSR Union, they also were a union but they did it by force, we did it by asking and they joined the Union and agreed to have a republic form of the constitution with the BILL OF RIGHTS signed and sealed. Right now, some of the states of the Union are in breach of their agreements for sure about the BILL OF RIGHTS. Actually, it was the United States of the Unionized Colonists of North America. The U.S.U.C.N.A. (All just an East India Company front.... shhhh.) Dear Lord, not them again.. East India Company Just because YOU don’t believe in the Rougarou; or the Loup Garou, don’t make you safe; No ! The Constitution is a blend of 'moral certitude' -- which is one of the reasons that criminals are determined to be rid of it and We the People must be even more determined to defend it. "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." - Thomas Paine The only thing the Illuminati fears is an independent person who can live, eat, sleep, stay warm and defend themselves separate from Federal help. Pray that the Lord gives us more time! The End is near and time is short!

User ID: 83747173 United States 06/28/2022 12:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | nope you're wrong [link to constitutioncenter.org (secure)] On September 9, 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted a new name for what had been called the "United Colonies.” The moniker United States of America has remained since then as a symbol of freedom and independence. Benjamin Franklin popularized the concept of a political union in his famous "Join, Or Die" cartoon in 1754. A generation later, the concept of unity became a reality. Thomas Jefferson is credited as being the first person to come up with the name, which he used while drafting the Declaration of Independence. In June 1776, Jefferson’s draft version of the Declaration started with the following sentence: “A Declaration of the Representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in General Congress assembled.” The final version of the Declaration starts with the date July 4, 1776 and the following statement: “The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America.” All who call on the name of the Lord will be saved.
