Sadly, most EU4 DLC are garbage.
American Dream stuff only happens in/after 1776. Even if you start in 1444, create a colonial nation, release/play as, then form the USA, you still have to wait until 1776 for any of the events to happen, if they ever happen (due to MTTH). Not only this, but a formed USA never gets the 1776 USA national ideas.
Call to Arms DLC is just sprites.
Pre-order DLC does have the Purple Phoenix, which helps quite a bit if you are going for a Basileus run. With the changes in 1.4, it's now even harder to survive as the Byzantines.
Digital Extreme DLC has the Stars and Crescent, which allows you to convert to Shia and/or Unify Islam. Not all that fantastic.
The big deal of the lot, however, is that the base game is 75% off. You're looking at 10 USD for many hours of sweet, sweet map painting.
