However, instead of finding an opening/defense that could be considered American, we should invent one. Obviously it has to be the best. Any ideas?

We should also invent the chess.com opening

I live in america, and it would seem that the American Defense is to not learn how to play in the first place....

OK, so maybe it's not really an opening. It's inspired by General Curtis LeMay and the US Strategic Air Command of the 1960's, though. Since "the best defense is a good offense", I propose naming the continuation Qgxe6  the "LeMay First Strike Gambit".
