United States of America is a country. America is a continent (North America, Central America and South America) based on facts i’m American too

It's not that i want to stop it, I can't stop the ignorance of an entire country

While the colonies may have established it, “America” was given a name long before. America is named after Amerigo Vespucci, the Italian explorer who set forth the then revolutionary concept that the lands that Christopher Columbus sailed to in 1492 were part of a separate continent.
