For a very brief period where America could grow and operate with impunity; An entire generation took the world and shaped it in their hands. Worts and All, I think it was a net positive. Schoolchildren saw this for what it was, and soon it became part of the zeitgeist that is american culture. Good or bad I can't say for sure, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
