An American?

[edit]

What does "an American" mean in a 1772 Italian context?
Simply someone native to the Americas, i.e. a Mexican in this case?
California, that is to say Upper California, not the peninsula (Baja), is not "American" in the English language sense until after the Mexican-American War.
