If by Amerigo you mean Amerigo Vespucci? Well, he founded nothing. He affirmed that America was not part of Asia, contrary to the common belief back then. He was an Italian charlatan/cartographer/merchant who managed to convince Europe that he was great and charted the newly-discovered lands to the West. He never actually stole credit form anyone, it was a combined effort with Christopher Columbus, due to proven letters sent and received from both Columbus and Vespucci. So then you really think that both men should receive equal credit.
