What Israelite tribe is represented by North America?

North America in general is the domain of Joseph. There were two Tribes of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh. Our understanding is that the British and her offshoots, including Canada, pertain to Ephraim. The USA is dominated more by Manasseh. [The USA however in our time also represents all of the Ten Tribes. Even though Manasseh is more dominant descendants of Ephraim in the USA may be more numerous.]
In general Biblical, Rabbinic, Historical, and other sources show that the Ten Tribes settled among Western Peoples. [This does not mean that everyone there is a Hebrew but rather that is where descendants of the Lost Hebrews are to be found.] The Standard of Joseph depicted a picture of Egypt (Midrash Bamidbar Rabah). This may have been a pyramid. A pyramid is depicted on the US Great Seal (as portrayed on a Dollar Bill) representing the USA.
Joseph (including Manasseh) was to become the greatest, most powerful (Numbers 24:7-9 Micah 5:7-9, Deuteronomy 33:27-29, Jeremiah 51:20-21, Zechariah 10:7), and most wealthy of all nations (Genesis 27:28 49:25 Deuteronomy 33:13-16 Hosea 2:8), and also extremely numerous (Genesis 15:5, 22:17, 24:60, 32:12, Numbers 23:10, Isaiah 10:22, 26:15 Hosea 1:10). The USA and the British Peoples fulfilled this role. The USA is still responsible for more than one-fifth of world economic output. The USA Defense expenditures, armies, air-force, and navy, etc., taken together outweigh those of the rest of the world combined.
Here are some of the Blessings concerning Joseph that the USA, Britain, and offshoots of Britain have fulfilled:
==============
Joseph as Provider to all the World.
Joseph was responsible for feeding Egypt and the surrounding nations (Genesis 41:57, 42:6). The USA has aided and helped every nation on earth. The Green Revolution (1950-1960s and onwards) was the work of US Scientists funded by US philanthropic institutions. The Green Revolution enabled the production of plants and agricultural techniques adapted to solve problems of growth in Third World countries. Hundreds of millions of people are alive today thanks to the advances made by these steps.
=========
Early Settlers
The early settlers of the USA came mainly from areas in Britain that were dominated by Tribal Clans from Manasseh.
The son of Manasseh was Machir from whom emerged GILEAD (pronounceable as Gileath) from whom came the Galadon of northern Wales and the Galadi -Galatians of Gaul and the Caledonians in Scotland. The sons of Gilead were Jeezer, Helek (Chelek), Asriel, Shechem, Shemida, and Hepher (Numbers 26:30). These became Tribal groups who settled in Britain.
# From the west of England and from Wales, Scotland, and Ireland the United States of America received approximately eighty-seven percent (sic. 87%) of its British immigrants in its formative period. # Calvin KEPHART, "Races of Mankind, Their Origin and Migration," N.Y. 1960, p.438, n.314, "Based on the statistics of the U.S. Department of Labour and the assumption that 2/3 of the.immigrants from England had had such antecedents".
In the area of Frisia (northern Netherlands) descendants of Manasseh (the Fransa-Masani) had been present and they later invaded England. East Anglia is said to have received a substantial immigration from Frisia and these too contributed significantly to the early populating of America.
So too, many of the early German settlers to the USA were of different stock from those who remained behind. They came from areas in which descendants of Manasseh had sojourned.
=========
America - Machir
America is named after "Ha-Macheri" meaning literally the 'Sons of Machir.' Machir was the first-born son of Manasseh son of Joseph (Genesis 50:23, Numbers 26:29, Numbers 32:39-40, Numbers 36:1, Judges 5:40, 1-Chronicles 7:14, etc). Machir was the forefather of the Gileadites (1-Chronicles 2:21).
Machir was also the name of a Jewish Prince in southern France. His given name in Hebrew was 'Machir' but in Latin Transmutations it became 'Aimerico' and eventually 'Americo.' Arthur J. ZUCKERMAN ("A Jewish Princedom in Feudal France, 768-900", New York, 1972, p.131 n.38, p. 375) notes that Machir was referred to as Al Makhiri, as "Aimerico," and as "Aimericus." Zuckerman describes how Machir ("Aimericus") became a legend whose name was celebrated in the ballads of Southern France and neighboring regions. In Hebrew his name was Machir. He was also referred to in Hebrew as "Ha-Machiri". In Biblical Hebrew "Ha-Machiri" means "Descendants of Machir" or "Pertaining (in the plural) to Machir." In Medieval Jewish Hebrew writings of that time however the name "Ha-Machiri" became a diminutive (nickname) in the singular for this prince known otherwise as 'Machir.' The names Machir and Ha-Machiri were transcribed from the Hebrew into Latin as Americo and similar terms. As a result the appellation entered the stock of names of the region. Americo Vespucci (1454-1512) received the name and gave it to America. America was named after 'Americo' Vespucci! Divine Providence wanted it that the USA (i.e. America) should be named by the same name as the first born son of Manasseh and have a name meaning 'Descendants of Machir.' In everyday speech the term 'America' is understood to specifically refer to the USA!
"Machir" in Hebrew also connotes Capitalism. The USA is the foremost capitalist nation.
The Hebrew meaning of the name "Manasseh" was analyzed by Rabbi Shimshon Rafael Hirsch, 1808-1898. Rabbi Hirsch in effect says the name connotes Responsible Representation! This principle became a foundation of the American National Character.
In General
Manasseh is the USA because:
Names of Tribes in Britain and Europe who mainly moved to North America are those of Clans from Manasseh.
The name "America" is derived from the Hebrew "Ha-Machiri" meaning 'Descendants of Machir' the first born son of Manasseh.
The name Manasseh in Hebrew means Responsible Representation which is the form of Government of the USA, and reflects its national character.
Manasseh was to become great after Ephraim (Genesis 48:19). This is explained by the "Bnei Yissachar" (Rabbi Zvi Elimelech Spira, 1783-1841, Marcheshvan 1:4), and by the "Malbim" (Rabbi Meir Leibush ben Jehiel Michel Weiser, 1809-1879). See Rabbi Fishel Mael, "Hashevetim," 5757, p. 490. Great Britain and its Dominions (representing Ephraim) preceded the USA. The Natziv (Rabbi Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin, 1816-1893) says that the material prosperity of Manasseh was to exceed that of Ephraim.
==============
Lion and Unicorn. Many Oceans. Rule the Seas
It was prophesied that Israel would be in many waters i.e. several oceans.
More powerful than Agag, i.e. a world power.
Symbolized by the lion and unicorn. This is the symbol of Britain.
A source of Blessing to mankind.
Numbers (NKJV) 24:
7 He shall pour water from his buckets,
And his seed shall be in many waters.
His king shall be higher than Agag,
And his kingdom shall be exalted.
8 God brings him out of Egypt;
He has strength like a wild ox [Hebrew "Raem" i.e. unicorn];
He shall consume the nations, his enemies;
He shall break their bones
And pierce them with his arrows.
9 He bows down, he lies down as a lion;
And as a lion, who shall rouse him?
Blessed is he who blesses you,
And cursed is he who curses you.
==============
The Lion
The most powerful nation on earth, symbolized by a lion.
Micah (NKJV) 5:
7 Then the remnant of Jacob
Shall be in the midst of many peoples,
Like dew from the Lord,
Like showers on the grass,
That tarry for no man
Nor wait for the sons of men.
8 And the remnant of Jacob
Shall be among the Gentiles,
In the midst of many peoples,
Like a lion among the beasts of the forest,
Like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
Who, if he passes through,
Both treads down and tears in pieces,
And none can deliver.
9 Your hand shall be lifted against your adversaries,
And all your enemies shall be cut off.
==============
Victorious
The Israelites were destined to dwell in fertile regions and defeat their enemies, to dwell alone.
Deuteronomy (NKJV) 33:
27 The eternal God is your refuge,
And underneath are the everlasting arms;
He will thrust out the enemy from before you,
And will say, 'Destroy!'
28 Then Israel shall dwell in safety,
The fountain of Jacob alone,
In a land of grain and new wine;
His heavens shall also drop dew.
29 Happy are you, O Israel!
Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD,
The shield of your help
And the sword of your majesty!
Your enemies shall submit to you,
And you shall tread down their high places.
=========
Policeman of the Globe
Israel was destined to be the "battle-ax and weapons of war" of the Almighty i.e.
the Policeman of the Globe. This is the task the Lost Ten Tribes have often fulfilled especially
the British and Americans in the course of their history.
Jeremiah (NKJV) 51:
19 The Portion of Jacob is not like them,
For He is the Maker of all things;
And Israel is the tribe of His inheritance.
The LORD of Hosts is His name.
20 You are My battle-ax and weapons of war:
For with you I will break the nation in pieces;
With you I will destroy kingdoms;
21 With you I will break in pieces the horse and its rider;
With you I will break in pieces the chariot and its rider;
22 With you also I will break in pieces man and woman;
With you I will break in pieces old and young;
With you I will break in pieces the young man and the maiden;
23 With you also I will break in pieces the shepherd and his flock;
With you I will break in pieces the farmer and his yoke of oxen;
And with you I will break in pieces governors and rulers.
=========
The most wealthy of all nations (Genesis 27:28 49:25 Deuteronomy 33:13-16 Hosea 2:8),
Genesis (NKJV) 27:
28 Therefore may God give you
Of the dew of heaven,
Of the fatness of the earth,
And plenty of grain and wine.
29 Let peoples serve you,
And nations bow down to you.
Be master over your brethren,
And let your mother's sons bow down to you.
Cursed be everyone who curses you,
And blessed be those who bless you!'
Genesis (NKJV) 49:
22 Joseph is a fruitful bough,
A fruitful bough by a well;
His branches run over the wall.
23 The archers have bitterly grieved him,
Shot at him and hated him.
24 But his bow remained in strength,
And the arms of his hands were made strong
By the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob
(From there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel),
25 By the God of your father who will help you,
And by the Almighty who will bless you
With blessings of heaven above,
Blessings of the deep that lies beneath,
Blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
26 The blessings of your father
Have excelled the blessings of my ancestors,
Up to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills.
They shall be on the head of Joseph,
And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.
Deuteronomy (NKJV) 33:
13 And of Joseph he said:
Blessed of the LORD is his land,
With the precious things of heaven, with the dew,
And the deep lying beneath,
14 With the precious fruits of the sun,
With the precious produce of the months,
15 With the best things of the ancient mountains,
With the precious things of the everlasting hills,
16 With the precious things of the earth and its fullness,
And the favor of Him who dwelt in the bush.
Let the blessing come on the head of Joseph,
And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.
17 His glory is like a firstborn bull,
And his horns like the horns of the wild ox;
Together with them
He shall push the peoples
To the ends of the earth;
They are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
And they are the thousands of Manasseh.
Hosea (NKJV) 2:
8 For she did not know
That I gave her grain, new wine, and oil,
And multiplied her silver and gold
Which they prepared for Baal.
=========
Extremely numerous (Genesis 15:5, 22:17, 24:60, 32:12, Numbers 23:10, Isaiah 10:22, 26:15 Hosea 1:10) .
Genesis (NKJV) 15:
5 Then He brought him outside and said, Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them. And He said to him, So shall your descendants be.
Genesis (NKJV) 22:
17 blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. 18 In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.
Genesis (NKJV) 24:
60 And they blessed Rebekah and said to her:
Our sister, may you become
The mother of thousands of ten thousands;
And may your descendants possess
The gates of those who hate them.
Note: In both Genesis 22:17 and Genesis 24: 69 the term "gates" (meaning strategic points) is employed. We shall return to this point.
Numbers (NKJV) 23:
10 Who can count the dust of Jacob,
Or number one-fourth of Israel?
Let me die the death of the righteous,
And let my end be like his!
Isaiah (NKJV) 10:
22 For though your people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea,
A remnant of them will return;
The destruction decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
Hosea (NKJV) 1:10
Yet the number of the children of Israel
Shall be as the sand of the sea,
Which cannot be measured or numbered.
And it shall come to pass
In the place where it was said to them,
You are not My people,
There it shall be said to them,
You are sons of the living God.

Gates
Genesis (NKJV) 22:
17 blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. 18 In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.
Genesis (NKJV) 24:
60 And they blessed Rebekah and said to her:
Our sister, may you become
The mother of thousands of ten thousands;
And may your descendants possess
The gates of those who hate them.
# The reason why Gibraltar was so important for Britain was its position in relation to the narrow Strait of Gibraltar (9 miles at its narrowest), which connects the Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean. All shipping going from one to the other has to pass through this position. So controlling it would mean Britain could control the trade going through the Strait with relative ease. The control of this perhaps arguably led, or helped to lead to the UK dominating trade around the world and becoming the superpower it was at the time. # Ryan Welsh https://www.quora.com/Why-do-the-British-have-Gibraltar-How-did-they-get-it-Why-do-the-Spanish-want-it-back-How-did-this-affect-the-relationship-between-the-two

The End Times: Judah will be Strengthened. Ephraim will Return to the Areas of Manasseh in Lebanon and Syria!
Zechariah (NKJV) 10:
6 I will strengthen the house of Judah,
And I will save the house of Joseph.
I will bring them back,
Because I have mercy on them.
They shall be as though I had not cast them aside;
For I am the LORD their God,
And I will hear them.
7 Those of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man,
And their heart shall rejoice as if with wine.
Yes, their children shall see it and be glad;
Their heart shall rejoice in the LORD.
8 I will whistle for them and gather them,
For I will redeem them;
And they shall increase as they once increased.
9 I will sow them among the peoples,
And they shall remember Me in far countries;
They shall live, together with their children,
And they shall return.
10 I will also bring them back from the land of Egypt,
And gather them from Assyria.
I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon,
Until no more room is found for them.
11 He shall pass through the sea with affliction,
And strike the waves of the sea:
All the depths of the River shall dry up.
Then the pride of Assyria shall be brought down,
And the scepter of Egypt shall depart.
12 So I will strengthen them in the LORD,
And they shall walk up and down in His name,
Says the LORD.
