Why do we call the US America?

I am not trying to make anyone angry or challenge anyone's identity, but people on our continent HATE us for thinking and saying we are The Americans.

If I say American, I mean from the Americas.

America the continent as a whole.

It is a small thing that we should think about in a good way. In a "how can we be more culturally aware" way.

And if we did everything the English wanted us to, we would still be a colony.
