it baffles me that Mexico truly is a part of North America. not saying they aren't, I know they are, but sometimes it's hard to remember that. how is that Mexico is that lucky to hang with the USA and Canada as NA bros? JUST managed to scrape away from the Central and South Americas.

The truth is the fact that Latinos are angry against USA because of the Operation Condor.

they thinks they lose the right of being called "american" too, also they thinks USA stole the name of the continent.

actually if american are called "american" is only because they were the first independant country in the new world.

also their cunt was not that great on first times, just the east coast, they were some new states who enter in the union.

Countries like Mexican Empire, Brazilian Empire and Argentina come after and actually haven't the attention of being called "american".

unitedstatians, like everyone else calls you

there's no problem in calling yourselves americans because there's no equivalent in english (the closest would be united statesian but that's stupid), but america is actually a continent.

america isn't a continent. it's a continuous landmass formed by two continents. like eurasia.
>>
>>57048836
No, that's wrong.

It was actually intended with the meaning of "the United States that are in America the continent". The country was named United States.

They retconned it later.
>>
>>57049490
>unitedstatians

What? I've never heard a single person call them that. Always "americans".

it's common in spanish and portuguese. historically, english speakers never used it, except some old european english books.
>>
>>57049383
>do people from shitholes down south get to call them selves Americans?
Yes.
That's how Spanish speakers say it I think.

For Brazilians "americano" usually means United-Statian, but América is always the continent.

i'm not trying to sound smart. north and south america are two distinct continents, with two distinct flora, fauna and geological features. some are shared throughout central american and the colombian plateau (mostly fauna) but literally only 2 million years ago they were completely seperated.
that whole "oh it's only one that's how i was taught in school" is outdated bullshit. the spanish thought they were in the indies, then an italian guy said it was a new places, so they called the new place in his honor. this doesn't mean that place was only one continent, or two, or none. it was a place, that's it, it remained like this for convinience's sake. once explorers started to map things they immediately figured out it was two continents.

Way to sidestep the question.

America is called America, because it's in the name of our country. Paraguay is called Paraguay because that's its name.

It was not the original name of our country, that's true. The original name of our country was Britain, and the inhabitants were British citizens.

The use of the word American became popularized to describe the inhabitants of the United States of America following the Revolutionary War, since we had severed our ties to Britain and wanted to establish ourselves as an independent people. United Statesmen, or other variants NEVER was widely used to describe the people of this country, by the people who lived in it.

Eurasia ain't got no such isthmus and it is a cultural convention that counts the Urals mountains and river as a dividing line.

We are MORE two continents on one landmass, than Eurasia is two continents at all.

Virginian on vacation here. We are proud of our history both with Britain and in the US. We've existed with both for close to the same amount of time and everybody here knows the connection to Queen Elizabeth. I actually visited her tomb a few days ago, she was and continues to be important to us historically and culturally.

We didn't have our own identity from the start. Our colonies were settled by different people for very different reasons. Georgia was a penal colony. Virginia was a plantation. Maryland was a catholic haven. The Atlantic colonies were settled by non-Britons. New England was settled by puritans.

It's safe to say that there was hardly anything 'united' about the pre-USA colonies.

yep, also a bunch of ethnic differences too.
pennsylvania had(has?) a massive german population for example and german was still a widely spoken language there until WW1/WW2 made it unfashionable IIRC
>>
>>57051767
Has. And Pennsylvanian German is still spoken, although it declines every generation. It's basically a preserved 18th century dialect from the German Palatinate and Germans in Europe today can barely understand them.

I want more about polygamy.

can confirm, amish still speak it and I learned it from having amish neighbors
it's actually not that similar at all to modern german

>>57051745
so? the northeast of brasil was settled mainly by people from northern portugal as plantation colonies of sugar and wood, and the more south you went the more people were actually descendants of mixed people between colonizers from the north and indians, who formed an entirely new people. and the interior was colonized for different reasons, the most importantly as metal miners. despite all their differences in lifestyle, they still knew they were all in one place they called brasil, which was located in the south of what was called america. despite southerners hating people from the north, they still consider themselves all one thing.
don't get me wrong but you all came from britain. you knew you had something in common (even if very vague), all of you. that's why you sticked together in the first place.
canada got a name. why didn't you? why was it only the continent that brought you together? did you have hopes of the rest also rebelling and joining you, perhaps?

The fine state of Virginia was named after the condition of (beautiful) virginity - of a young woman. The purpose of this establishment was to inspire males to fight, for that cause and state which is still a good purpose though the Crown Colony of Virginia has changed quite a bit since the startup.
>>
>>57051931
no it was specifically about the virginity of queen elizabeth
>>
>>57051840
there never was LEGAL polygamy, it's a custom since the age of injuns to take more than one mistress but that's an extraofficial social arrangement. children would get registered under the father's surname, or not; this makes us quite the nation of bastards
if you find a paraguayan named "Gonzalez Gonzalez" then it's either a coincidence or he's a bastard so he has his mother's surname twice
>>
>>57051924
That's different. We had IDEOLOGICAL and RELIGIOUS differences, which form much more solid barriers than our origin and lifestyle. We had New England persecuting quakers and anabaptists, southern colonies persecuting non-anglicans, and Rhode Island being formed simply because some people were disgusted by the blind conservatism of the puritan colonies.
>>
>>57051464
and also you oughta rename Lisbon to Lisbion just to increase sales and besides it would be nice
>>
>>57052017
but the country is still the same, why would we rename it? it's not like it was settled by new people who call it something different
>>
>>57052010
oh yeah i guess you're right. brasil was all just catholic period. i always forget the religious shit your country has. literally: mormons. sweet jesus

The mormons were cunts who deserved everything they got. They were literal jews before the jewish even immigrated here; i.e they would form close knit communities and screw over any non-mormon.

When they settled Utah they massacred travelers and wagon trains for literally no reason.

If the US had existed maybe 300-400 years earlier I can 100% guarantee they would have been genocided at some point.

>>57052185
and they're fucking crazy too, are you kidding me? they think indians are actually jews that "forgot" god. yeah cause they totally look alike and shit. and god has a planet just for himself. it's just way too funny of a religion to be taken seriously

>>57052278
I knew a mormon girl who had an albino brother. Probability-wise, her parents literally had enough kids to produce a genetic anomaly. They need to stop breeding and realize birth control isn't a sin...
>>
>>57052278
not him
mormons are an insane cult, the only reason they exist is because of the money they have. Mitt Romney is actually pretty poor for a mormon.

After Joseph Smith got shot in the head, a bunch of different sects popped up. One of these sects moved to an island in the Great Lakes and established a theocratic kingdom.

Up until the "king" of the island got assassinated as well.

The land, was far unpopulated compared to Holland so there were huge miles of untilled soil and trees and trees. Also at the maximum of her territorial claim, the colony went way way west overlaying the majority of the Louisiana purchase (see the southern state line, it continued way out West)

it's only a cult if it doesn't have political pull and lots of money

Why do you have such a hard time understanding this

>Spanish West Indies
>>
>>57052608
Yes yes that would be the 1609 grant I am talking about. That line became the state line between many a pair of states.

Virginia sent two (2) men to put down the boys playing at being outdoorsmen and indians located where Pittsburgh PA now stands.
The boys playing at being outdoorsmen and indians beat the two Virginians and resulting the Western half of PA left the sphere of Virginia's gravity, but the cause of the state is still a good one to which men should join.

So today there are Virginians, West Virginians and people resident in the area of the 1609 grant which are virginians or might be called 'Mid-Westerners' a lot of us Americans.
