Ah, I forgot most people think America = U.S.
Normally when I'm talking about continents, and I say America, I mean this:
And I count 1700s+ as "recent" while late 1800s+ as "modern".
So, I was referring to Native America, not colonial+ America >.>
Sorry for the confusion D:

Many people claim America is "Western" or "European", since recent or modern America was mostly influenced by Europe and its culture. For example, some people may claim Capoeira as "Western" rather than "Native American". This is because the slaves created it under European rule, specifically in response to European rule.
