United States is not a name. It is a statement that there are states united to form a nation, not a name of a nation. America is a name of a continent comprising from north to south that includes many nations such as Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Chile, Argentina, and many others with names. And then there are States in unison so to speak called as United States with names such as Florida, Texas, California, New York.......in between Canada and Mexico part of the American continent without a national name. So are the inhabitants of these United States to call themselves UnitedStatestatians like the inhabitants of Canada called themselves as Canadians?
Is this one more reason that the inhabitants of these States are struggling with their identity?
A "nation" without a name............
Time to ponder...............
