Who is "we" and since when did "we" call Canada - "Canada of America"?
The US is simply an amalgamation of terriroties/states who decided to become the "United States of America". Specifically - the US is part of America. It is, and never has been otherwise, a nation state within the American continent.
In size America is around 16.2 mill sq miles of which the US comprises around 5.9 mill sq miles.
