This was a low point for America, as there were many protests and hatred directed towards the government, the country, and the citizens who served for the country. However, people were fighting for their rights and they were living up to the expectations of the Founding Fathers as they wanted what was best for the people of America. The protests were to make America the country it was supposed to be and most citizens were working together as one nation. There is also the argument that Americans have not actually lost pride in America, but gained pride and patriotism.
