No, not really.
People had this attitude that we were going to be different. And we were, for a little while. You saw this unusual patriotism and a real sense of national unity.
But that faded within the first few years, and we went back to the status quo antebellum.
If the attacks did anything, they just accelerated the centralization of power in the US that we’ve seen over the last two centuries. But that’s a universal phenomenon in the west, and it’s something people have been writing about since Lord Acton’s time.
