The very name "Manasseh" in Hebrew connotes Responsible Representation which form of government was the reason the USA came into being. America is named after Amerigo Vespucci who in turn was named after a Jewish noble named Americo or Americus which name is a Medieval Latinized version of the Hebrew Machir or "HaMacheiri" meaning "belonging to Machir".
Machir was the firstborn son of Manasseh. The name Machir in Hebrew connotes Free Enterprise and Capitalism. This is a fundamental concomitant principle for the American mode of existence.
"Yank" is a nickname for American. It is short for Jack or Jacob i.e. Israel. It also reflects the direct contact between Jacob and Manassaeh as opposed to that between Joseph and Ephraim. In Biblical Times monarchs of the northern Kingdom of Israel appointed from Manasseh or associated with Manasseh (as distinct from Ephraim) were more like Constitutional Presidents than absolute rulers. Their terms of offices were similar to those of US Presidents today.
