It's not known exactly where Amerigo Vespucci landed first, but apparently he was the one who said, Yo, Columbus, that shit ain't no Asia, it's a whole 'nother thing. So, in 1507 his collegue cartographer Martin Waldseemüller started using his name (in Latin form) to distinguish "the New World" on maps. Vespucci, mostly associated with his trips to Brazil (he worked for the Portuguese), died in 1512. None of this shit has jack to do with what would become the United States; Ponce de León didn't get to Florida until 1513. So, let's reclaim the term "América". We will die for our freedom!
