They named it America because Amerigo was the one that actually helped Europe realize they hadnt reached Europe but two new continents. |

I still don't get why the USA had to call itself America. True, they were the first independent american colony, but the name amd Manifest Destiny implied that they intended to govern the continent as a single country, under one government. |

Because it was the name given to us really, its what the british called us.
Also the Manifest Destiny focuses more on the West and not the South and North. |

Yes, as one country.
But "democracy" was supposed to expand along with the growth of America. |

It actually did. It began to grow more and more in South America and Europe in the 1800's. |

Not to mention how would the animals move? The Consumers follow other consumers who follow Herbivores who search for producers. What on that path can the Herbivores eat and the Producers live? |

The Ice Path?
Seals. Seal's fat can be burned for fired.
The Ice Caps stretched from Middle Britian to Upper Virginia around 20,000BCE. Not to mention, how did European style spear points wind up in America when the proposed people that came via the Bering Strait Landbridge thingy were Siberia. |

That doesnt explain how the Herbivores can eat and the Producers live. |

Again. Seals. Seals swim and eat fish. All you have to do is dock near a hole in the ice where the seals would swim up to it and take breath, then you stab them. |
