Not sure what you are asking as there really is no "American" Catholic doctrine, that would just be Catholic doctrine, as taught in America, which you can read for yourself at the first link below, which has the English translation of the Catechism.

.

However, there is a heresy in the United States, which has been around for a long time, it was condemned by Leo XIII (second and third links below, the third link is the English edition of Testem Benevolentiae Nostrae): On January 22, 1899, Pope Leo XIII addressed an encyclical (Testem benevolentiae nostrae) to James Cardinal Gibbons, archbishop of Baltimore, intended "to suppress certain contentions" that had arisen in America "to the detriment of the peace of many souls." In essence, Leo feared that some American Catholic intellectuals, including a number of bishops, were finding canonical and theological lessons for the Church where they should not be looking for them: in the American cultural and political experience of democracy and individualism.
