From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. South America is the southern continent of the Americas, situated entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a relatively small portion in the Northern Hemisphere. It is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean and on the north and east by the Atlantic Ocean; North America and the Caribbean Sea lie to the northwest. America was named in 1507 by cartographers Martin Waldseemüller and Matthias Ringmann after Amerigo Vespucci, who was the first European to suggest that the newly discovered lands were not India, but a New World unknown to Europeans.

South America ranks fourth in area (after Asia, Africa, and North America) and fifth in population (after Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America). From Wikipedia under the

There's a couple of small English speaking splodges in South America. But I can't really answer the question to know if we would still have had a USA. The movements for freedom and democracy were an old concept in Britain by the 1770s. Indeed many fought in the English Civil War nearly 150 years earlier chanting "One man one vote!" If the Founding Fathers hadn't come together to expedite the issue of liberty and freedom something would have given politically somewhere as the voices were almost as strong within Europe. Only the US might be now something more like Canada or Australia. Britain itself didn't turn what we could call democratic until 1867.
