Is it a quantifiable group of people? An idea? A geographical area?

This is a very hard question to answer, because each state and people in those states can mean something different.

From my memory of elementary school geography, "America" just referred to North America, Central America, and South America.
I don’t remember the teacher’s name, but I recall it irked her that the US was being called "America".
That was in the early 80s. If you google "America" now, all the results will be related to the USA.
America is geographical region representing North, Central, and South America as one region.
Americans are the inhabitants. Think of Native Americans. (They were here before anybody else was. Land bridge, Pangea, and all that.) They are just "original" Americans, but they didn’t specifically inhabit North America. Each continent had it’s own.
I see why you would make the connection with politics, and lots of teaching has political influence, but purely from a geography stance this is the answer.
not what but who. and that man was Amerigo Vespucci
