    This map can be dated to between 1783 and 1802 when the United States won their independence but Spain hadn’t returned Louisiana to France or the US.

    They never should have sold us Florida. That was a huge mistake.

    Even the name “America” is Italian. White America is built entirely on other cultures. You couldn’t remove every name that was not White American because you’d have almost nothing left, and the stuff you did have left would still be largely built on non-white culture.

    i believe it’s called the gulf of mexico because the people that historically inhabited that area (a long, long time ago) were loosely related to the term “mexico” over time, as is with happens with most words.

    Did the whole america thing also happen? Yeah, is that super relevant, debatable.
