Re: What mandolins are made in North America?
Godin A8's and Seagull's are good quality, inexpensive (under $1,000) mandolins made by the Godin company of Quebec. There's been lots of discussion of them here. Google the name of the instrument and "Mandolin Cafe."
Added later: As well, check the Mandolin Cafe Builders Database: https://www.mandolincafe.com/builders.html

Reason: additional info
Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
