Do you mean especially the history of the USA?

One cannot answer this question because the meaning of 'American' isn't clear:

- A person or attribute of South or North America
- A person or attribute of the indigenous peoples of South or North America
- A citizen or attribute of the ’United States of America’: the political correct term is 'US-American'

Which 'Americans' do you mean? From North or South America? And from which country in one of theese 2 continents called 'America'?

'American' for 'US-American' is geographically and politically not correct.

This is a FACT not an OPINION.
