Jonah ("dove") tried to escape his mission. He ended up spending three days and three nights in the belly of a big fish, where he could think on things.
America's mission is the same as it's always been, to save the world from itself. Columbia ("dove") is the personification of America. The Spirit of America is the Spirit of '76, 76 in Hebrew is "the dove" (ha-Yonah, the "Jonah").
Manifest Destiny made manifest. Discover the unknown!

God's a funny guy. He always has a little twinkle in His eye.
