You're right. Yes this country is the USA but Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Guatemala and many others are America as well. Truth be said these other countries have the right to call themselves American just as well.

Well, I guess they can be called united statesian, but that's just not used very often. American is the general label for people from the U.S. When people refer to the American continents, as opposed to USA, they usually make a distinction between north, south, and central. All together, they are called the Americas.

America, is a country. There for they call themselves American. South America is made up of smaller countries, and each one has a name for itself and its people. Canada is Canada, so they are called Canadians. Are you actually seriously asking this question?

We are the United States of AMERICA.
Central America and South America are made of many different countries and they have their own names.
Canada calls themselves CANADIAN.

USA> stands for United States of America.
and when most people in the world think about America it is the United States that they are thinking about.
a Canadian would never call themselves an American.
nor would a Mexican or a Brazilian. they all have their own countries that they have their pwn sense of pride form.
the founders of this country were simply not very inventive with the name.

People are saying that they are Americans, because they live there and they were born there. Even if the people go to Canada they will say I am from Canada because I live there for so long now. Do u know what i try to say to u.
