For US records, see:
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list#page=1®ion=UNITED_STATES
Like the UK, there's no national BMD registration.

If you're only interested in the census, the following subset is a handy link:
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list?page=1&countryId=1

The US census 1790-1840 doesn't name the whole h/h, and slaves are not named pre-1870.
Each census hit above comes with a free image link for 1850, 1870, 1900, 1940.
The 1890 census was 99.9% destroyed by fire.
