The E-Sylum:  Volume 7, Number 5, February 1, 2004, Article 26

UNITED STATESIANS

  Martin Purdy writes: "Regarding Chick Ambrass' comments
  from last week,  Ray Williams writes: "Although I agree with
  Chick's  points in his article, I think he actually meant to say
  British  Colonies instead of American colonies."

  I disagree.  "American" is used in the geographical sense here,
  rather than possessive.  Try substituting "Pacific" or "African"
  for "American" and you'll see what I mean.  To include such
  Canadian bits as there were at the time, I might have said
  "North American colonies", mind you."
