Both ‘ispell-local-dictionary’ and ‘ispell-dictionary’ are nil on my side:
;;;
ispell-local-dictionary is a buffer-local variable defined in
ispell.el.gz.

Global Value
nil
;;;

;;;
ispell-dictionary is a variable defined in ispell.el.gz.

Value
nil
;;;

But, I don't know which one is corresponding to iamerican-insane dictionary:

$ aspell dump dicts
en
en-variant_0
en-variant_1
en-variant_2
en-w_accents
en-wo_accents
en_AU
en_AU-variant_0
en_AU-variant_1
en_AU-w_accents
en_AU-wo_accents
en_CA
en_CA-variant_0
en_CA-variant_1
en_CA-w_accents
en_CA-wo_accents
en_GB
en_GB-ise
en_GB-ise-w_accents
en_GB-ise-wo_accents
en_GB-ize
en_GB-ize-w_accents
