I tune out anyone who talks about these "dispensations." We are talking about Biblical reasons why God would bless America or why he wouldn't. If you want to believe in all those dispensations, you're free too. I'm interested in the Bible, though. Boom. New and bizarre doctrine shut down. Case closed.
I think by this they mean may God bless America (Ps 33:12). Most realize that we are post-Christian. Lk 19:13

So am I, slow one. The LORD God is not blessing/cursing any nation(s), in this dispensation, during the mystery program. Don't confuse your lack of reading comprehension skills, with any alleged error on my part, of not talking about/providing Biblical reasons why God would bless America or why he wouldn't.
God did not bless America in the past because they slaughtered the Indians or encaptured Africans and shipped them over as slaves....God blessed America because the church is there.
In this age [dispensation] of grace God is not punishing anyone...or at least it is His unusual work. People and political leaders get into troubles because they are walking I the dark.

...and taught pagan savages Christianity.
.......that was John Wayne
If not America, Who?
It was also a given that "savages," so long denied the blessing of the Christian Gospel, should have that blessing bestowed upon them. And to reject that great give made as little sense as for starving multitudes to turn away from freely offered food. To attack the Church as it went about its proper mission, whether to savages or civilized, was to attack the state and the threaten the very survival of civilization itself.
Notice that during his administration, Jefferson appropriated funds for Christian missionaries to evangelize the heathen, as Justice Rehnquist noted:
As the United States moved from the 18th into the 19th century, Congress appropriated time and again public moneys in support of sectarian Indian education carried on by religious organizations. Typical of these was Jefferson's treaty with the Kaskaskia Indians, which provided annual cash support for the Tribe's Roman Catholic priest and church. The treaty stated in part:
"And whereas, the greater part of said Tribe have been baptized and received into the Catholic church, to which they are much attached, the United States will give annually for seven years one hundred dollars towards the support of a priest of that religion . . . [a]nd . . . three hundred dollars, to assist the said Tribe in the erection of a church." 7 Stat. 79.
From 1789 to 1823 the United States Congress had provided a trust endowment of up to 12,000 acres of land "for the Society of the United Brethren, for propagating the Gospel among the Heathen." See, e. g., ch. 46, 1 Stat. 490. The Act creating this endowment was renewed periodically and the renewals were signed into law by Washington, Adams, and Jefferson.
