Historically, present-day Mexico, Texas, Florida, and most of Alabama and Mississippi were part of Spanish Territories, later called Mexico. The Gulf was effectively surrounded by and belonged to "Mexico Territories" whether a nation or not. Texas got peeled off second (Republic, 1836), after Florida (Territory 30MAR1822) with Florida's first military Governor being Andrew Jackson in 1821 (with Jacksonville named in his honor).
AJ stayed alive long enough into 1845 to see his beloved Florida become a state on 03MAR1845 mostly due to his advocacy. Note that this was the day before Polk was inaugurated who possibly was going to block Florida from becoming a state in order to keep it as a Territory controlled by Congress. Texas became a state the same year in December.
Note that Polk was supposedly a "protege of Andrew Jackson", but was a former Speaker of the House and suspect to me due to his one term only (Further study required); typical of Deep State traitors.
I wonder why the American Charter of 1606 was not involved, but also France owned the center for a period untill the Lousiana Purchase. I think Spain had the S west France the middle and the crown had the NW and the north. I don't know much about the East.
I understand why Trump wants to rename it, my only concern is to who has the power to force all the map makers to change the name? This is like a world law, isn't it or will America assert its will on anything we so desire? Why wouldn't the map makers just tell Trump to go pound sand?
Name change of 'Gulf of America' from 'Gulf of Mexico' nullifies 80 years of environmental and energy production restrictions in the Gulf since they all specifically use "Gulf of Mexico" name in the laws and regulations language. Laws and regulations are still active and potentially valid, but they apply to a place that does not exist.
I never understood why it was the gulf of mexico.

I'll be ecstatic when he changes the military bases back to their regular names.
I think, to be grammatically and politically correct, it should be called "Gulf of the Americas".
Fuck Mexico, fuck the gulf of Mexico, and fuck saying Mexico is part of the Americas.
at what level would you say your geography knowledge is?
I mean, if u wanna be a dick about it go ahead. Mexico is useless and rather it not be part of north america
Rivers from North and Central America flow into the Gulf not the other way round...
