Which is the correct spelling of Kongo(Congo) In the US does it matter or are both acceptable?
In a book i read for a research paper they called it the Kongo but when I got the paper back my teacher kept circling it though out the page like it was wrong. So which is it Kongo or Congo?

They aren't the same thing. The Kingdom of Kongo was an African kingdom located in west central Africa in what are now northern Angola, Cabinda, the Republic of the Congo, and the western portion of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

C in the US.
HOWEVER, if you bring the book in and show the teacher that you were using it as a reference, most teachers in my schools would have given you a little speech about how to spell in the US, and then given you the credit back.
If the situation was as Frank described, then your teacher is wrong.
