Question #18

Since Mexico and Canada are part of North America, and there's Central America and South America, why are Americans called Americans then?

The correlating question is:

Since Mexico is officially the United States of Mexico, how did U.S. of A. become shortened to U.S.? (Since both countries have the same starting initials).

We got here first, and were tougher than the rest so we got to pick a name first. It's better than something like "The Peoples Democracy of the Confederacy"
