What does it mean to say: "I am an American"?

While attending the Projecto Honduras seminar in Copan, Honduras last week I was sitting at a  table make up of an interesting group of people:
One Brazilian
One Honduran
One Ex-patriot American raised in Chili
Three Alabamians
The question came up, what does it mean to be an American?
Each of the people at the table considered themselves to be an American.  As a matter of fact, several thought we Alabamians might be consider to a little presumptuous thinking only of ourselves as Americans.
Interesting thought.
