As an American, I think the most important thing you can learn from our history is that if you want something badly enough, and are willing to work for it, you can do anything.

We have made a country where anybody can succeed. Anybody can come here from any part of the world and live in freedom. We can travel anywhere we want in America, and live wherever we want to. We can learn as much as we want to, and much of our education is free to anyone who wishes to learn.

We fight and argue a lot between ourselves, but when things get tough, we band together like the big noisy family we are. And even though we have problems like prejudice and apathy, all you have to do is look at the man we elected in 2009, and you will understand that here in America - to the vast majority of people who call this great land home - it doesn't matter what color your skin or what your background. America is still the land of opportunity.

In a more cynical way, I would say that the best thing to learn from Americans is that if things aren't going the way you like, just pick up a big stick and hit people until they do what you want; if somebody accuses you of wrongdoing, say "he started it"; if someone beats you with their bigger stick, say "we still won" or "it was a draw".
