The US came in with AC a bit later IIRC,

I don't know what frequency (or voltage) he used but Tesla's company
distributed AC mains in the US before it reached Europe.

Edison decided dc was superior, and many a battle was fought over ac vs
dc. It didnt take long to realise Edison had not made a good judgement
on this point, but he continued his marketing battle by publically
electrocuting animals on ac current for entertainment.
