Americanism

Americanism, an ambiguous term, may refer to a characteristic feature of American English especially as contrasted with British English, a characteristic of America (the United States), or support for the United States and/or its argued characteristics.

What these characteristics are may be controversial. For example, some Ku Klux Klan organizations believed that "Americanism" included race and American Protestantism characteristics.
