There may be other contenders, but it can be argued that the father of American English is Noah Webster (1758-1843). He advocated the major changes in spelling between American and British English that everyone encounters from time to time, and gave in his dictionaries many definitions that were in keeping with the American experience during his day. Many American scholars were outraged by his approach.
