Gretchen,

Note carefully the phrase:

>North< American.

Potato(e)s were grown also in south america.  Capsican peppers and all
the rest you listed in central & south america.  Besides north america.

So what he's claiming is they're *only* north american.  (I really don't
know their range.. but do know they grow in Kansas since we had one in
our back yard in Overland Park ages ago).
