See the documentation of the command ispell-change-dictionary. The
command itself can be invoked from the menu-bar's
Tools->Spell-Checking->Change Dictionary dialog.

I see you run Emacs on Windows. That might be a problem, since you
need to find the american dictionary built for the Windows port of
Ispell. Sorry, I don't know where to find such dictionaries on the
net. However, I'd guess that the default english.aff file is actually
for the American English, it's just a medium-size dictionary, not a
large one.
As for the personal dictionaries, see the documentation of the
variable ispell-personal-dictionary.
