The USA declared independence in 1776. The actual government they have today formed a few years after. Not entirely sure when the Mexican government we know today formed. The North and Southern American contents have been there since pangea broke up.

Roughly 200-250 years depending on whether you start counting at declaration of independence, articles of confederation, or ratification of the constitution.
