```Dear Intellectualist, Please don't use the term America for the United States of America. There are 20 other countries who are American.... Mexico and those in Central and South. (and technically speaking Mexico refers to itself as a United Mexican States) Thanks, a mortified and disgusted citizen of the United States of North America "^)```

What was the United States of America called before it became USA?

Britain <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

Britain didn't have a name for the collection of the American colonies?

Doesn't seem to be a regional name that distinguishes the 13 colonies from Canada

Closest I've seen is "British North America"

Thirteen colonies I think? @DanielKO

The USA didn't have a name before USA because the land that the USA currently occupies was owned separately by russia, Britain, France, Spain and mexico

Okay. Has any of the other countries that n the Americas ever used "America" in their name?

Not what I can think of no

Basically, we got "First" dibs

^

If they don’t like it, we can always change that fact

<:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

We are America, and you can too

I can't wait until people complain about North/South in names too.

USA is lucky Britain thought god has brought down his wrath on us when we was invading you or youd have surrendered to us

Your president was about to surrender

Cucked by god

"Why do you get to be North Carolina and we have to be South? South sucks!"

THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN

Nah

South America will change its name to North-ish America.

The 'Almost' north America

And at the same time, Europe will rename itself to North Africa.

OOF

Saying it’s a shithole undermines what a shithole actually is
