Most of the AFC teams were derived from the former AFL and most of the NFC teams were from the older and original NFL.
They put the teams in conferences for geographic purposes. To be honest with you, you have too much time on your hands if your asking this question. Not exactly life changing.

However, some teams that were in the NFL at the time of the NFL/AFL merger ended up joining the AFC... Pittsburg Steelers and Baltimore Colts, for example.

"In baseball, the National League has pitchers that bat, while the American League has designated hitters, so there is a definite rule change/difference". "unlike baseball, the rules are the same for both conferences" In Baseball, the rules are the same for the National League and the American League, plus all the Minor Leagues. The leagues have the option of using a Designated Hitter, or not. The American League, and the Minor Leagues, choose to use a DH, while the National League does not. 6.10 Any League may elect to use the Designated Hitter Rule. Sarge

There used to be two leagues, the NFL and the AFL. They merged to form the NFL, but kept teams split between the 2 major conferences.

That's a good point, I think they are all American. I think they're the same.
Hope this helps :)
