The first US man in space was John Glen in Friendship 7. He orbitted the earth in space but never went out into space. But the first man technically considered to be put in space by the US was Alan Shepard aboard the Freedom 7 on a sub-orbital flight. Hope this helps.
Project Mercury was the first manned US space program, consisting of six flights between 1961 and 1963. Of these, two were sub-orbital flights while the last four all completed at least one orbit of the Earth.
