Note
A plural whose reach depends on who is speaking. Its everyday meaning is citizens of the United States, but it can take in everyone living anywhere in the Americas. Historical writing uses it for colonists of British America, archaic usage for the continents' indigenous peoples, and obsolete usage for settlers in French or Spanish colonies. When you mean the whole hemisphere, make that plain from context.
