The United States of America is not a continent. Indeed, the entire USA is not part of the same continent. The 48 contiguous states and the state of Alaska are part of the North American continent.

Not all of the USA is on the continent of North America. The state of Hawaii and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Guam, Midway, Johnston Island, several other places are not on the North American continent.

The United States is a republic, and is a part of the North American continent. There are other countries on that continent. South America is another continent that contains different countries. Look on a globe, and you will see what I mean.

Because they are correct in that statement. Does your school really have no atlas or geographical globe for you to look at and see the truth??!! Oh, I suppose you live in one of those benighted states of the USA which does not teach you about the realities of the world.

Only globalists think in those terms. They See America as Putin's next island to over Throw and take over. To expand the power Of global totalitarianism. They want tyrants Dominating and oppressing everyone. No Freedom, no human rights, no privacy, no Legal representation, no justice, no property, No money. You become their slaves or cattle.
