I have to say electricity, the electric light or the automobile.. Henry Ford's model T or A
Either/Or. (I did say first) How about the Clovis point for a "first"?

Did you know " The oldest condoms ever excavated were found in a cesspit located in the grounds of Dudley Castle and were made from animal membrane, the condoms dated back to as early as 1642" So, the condom is clearly not an American invention.

In days of old
when Knights were bold.
And condoms weren't invented.
They placed a sock
upon their cock.
and Babies thus prevented.

I thought the question was about American inventions? So, plainly fire, Clovis points and condoms would not qualify.
Maybe Clovis points would if you meant north-American.

Yeah well.....it's all theoretical and up for discussion. Right? I could have been more specific and made it more geographical than geopolitical. All the answers are interesting though, right?

And this post of yours did have something to do with what Tia brought up for discussion? You simply can not resist the urge to try and control what people do here.
