I made no mention of the United States it was you who made the error but I'm not vindictive so no apology is required

Choose the words that you like. You did make reference to "the Americas", which you pointed out, not only included the USA, but other countries in the region as well. Since none of those places was mentioned in the article that you referred to, then it is you who were incorrect in your statement, not me.

I cited it only as an example

from far flung shores such as The Americas
however having said that there is a mistake in the article (but then being American it's understandable) they forgot to put the prefix NEW in front of Amsterdam

Of course there is an explanation for everything. Believe what you want. Your original statement was intended as Anti-American sentiment, and your continuing attacks just prove the point.

In 1665/66, New York and Philadelpia wouldn't have been much more than hamlets. Hardly an ideal starting place for the Great Plague.

It was my understanding that the Plagues that decimated Europe starting in the East (Asia and Asia Minor) and spread through Europe from there, primarily through the port of Constantinople (Istanbul).

On the other hand, there is some evidence to suggest venerial diseases were brought to Europe from the Americas. The disadvantage of our being such a loving people. :D

And just for the record, I wasn't referring to any specific outbreak of plague.

I've said what I wanted to say, other than for the above correction. Have fun, guys.
