The term "US of America" is a political one and refers to the country whilst "America" is geographical. It is certain that the Vikings reached North America before Columbus as Viking artifacts have been found. Properly speaking, those who 'discovered' the Americas were the people who migrated across the Bering Strait during the last Ice Age.
