Welcome to /r/NorthAmerica!

Hi good afternoon.

I am a US citizen and went to Mexico to visit my family. I traveled with my us passport, when I checked in for my flight in the US , the attendant told me that I could only stay in Mexico for 140 days. Some 4 months and a half.

When I landed in Mexico, I asked the customs agent how long I could stay in Mexico and they told me 6 months.

I’ve tired looking online for some answers but I haven’t got a concrete answer.

Any help, thanks

As a US resident, I am wondering why the USA has way more people than any other country in North America and why the USA's population takes up slightly more than half of North America's population in which more than 56% of people that live in North America live in the USA. Why is that so?

Hey everybody,

My boyfriend and I are planning a road trip around Lake Ontario, visiting as many national parks as we can. Since we are not from North America (we're from Spain), we have a couple of questions.

First, how do the highways work concerning tolls and fees? I have been reading about it, but I'm a bit lost. Do I need special equipment, such as the little machines that allow you to go through the tolls automatically, or is that not required? Also, are the tolls expensive? I would really appreciate it if someone could help me a bit with this. If it helps, we plan to travel from Quebec to the White Mountain National Forest and then to Niagara Falls.

Secondly, does anyone know about travel insurance that covers both places? I'm looking for something that covers my health and, ideally, also the car. I don't know if that is even possible.

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

Also, if you know someone who was born in the US or has American parents, they can also vote in US elections.

So, I was reading up on some history the other day and stumbled upon Ulysses S. Grant. You know, the guy with the epic beard? Anyway, turns out he was a big deal back in the day. Like, major big deal. He was this super famous general, but here's the kicker: in which war?

I mean, we all know about the big ones like World War I and II, but Grant was around way before that. So, was it the Civil War? Revolutionary War? War of 1812? Honestly, I had to Google it myself.

And guess what? Dude was a boss in the Civil War! Yep, he was like the main dude for the Union Army. Talk about a game-changer. He led 'em to victory and all that jazz.

But here's where it gets interesting: Grant didn't stop there. Nope, after the war, he went on to become the President of the United States. Like, how crazy is that? From battlefield badass to commander in chief.

So, yeah, next time you're playing trivia or whatever, remember this little nugget of info about ol' Ulysses S. Grant. Guy was a legend, plain and simple.

If your from the continent of North America and are from a North American country ( Mexico , USA , Canada , the other 4) would u be a subclass of North America? How I see it is North America as it’s whole is the main group and the rest are subclass of the main continent with diffrent out looks and culture

For those who celebrated Christmas, how was the celebration? Anything you did recently?

Hello, I have turned on posting again, and mainly revamped this community. I did this so that this community can not fall under the ongoing subreddit purge or the unmoderated ban and for it to become active again. I will list all of the things that have changed.

The description & community nickname has changed due to this community now leaning towards a discussion community then a news community.

There are now 6 new rules for you to follow when posting or commenting. It is recommended that you read the rules every 3-7 days because it may change every once in a while, especially now that this revamp has just happened.

Post flairs and user flairs have completely changed. Post flairs used to be each country but now are completely different, user flairs same thing but is now extended with more countries added + the flag emojis. Unfortunately, polls have been turned off.

Soon enough, there will be a discord server for this community so that North Americans can chat live other of r /northamerica.

EDIT 1: There is now a discord server for this community, hop in the fun!
