Go finger you're self
The Prime Meridian does not pass through any part of the United States. North America or South America.
You would be closer to the Prime Meridian on the eastern coast of South America. The Prime Meridian is located at 0 degrees longitude and runs through Greenwich, near London, England. Therefore, the further east you go from the Prime Meridian, the higher the longitude values will be.
Technically either will work, since if you go east far enough, you'll cirle the globe and come back around to South America. But, on a map, South America is in the Western Hemisphere and so west of the Prime Meridian.
The Prime Meridian (or the Meridian of Greenwich) runs through the royal observatory in London, so the Americas are west of it. In North America, the meridian that closely matches the transition from woodland to prairie is the 100th meridian west.
