USA has a very recent history. In that short span I think they have managed to create quite a commotion. If we can draw a similarity between birth of places to growth of people or to new buys, then this is how I would explain it from that perspective. It's similar to a small child and all the fuss it creates or a new cloth that we love to wear more often than others. It too will soon calm down and grow up. This is how I think I would like to draw conclusion reading the book.
It is however a better read than all the crazy "USA that", "USA this" stuff that's on the movies and books these days. It reminded me of how the White immigrants from Europe have oppressed and almost made extinct the local people of Americas and the culture of the tribes. It reflects on the cruelty shown towards colored people - which is still evident in the nation despite all the talk of equality. It is a wonderful book if one feels like seeing how hypocritical humans are. If we can learn from these mistakes and make ourselves better, just a little bit, then I feel we will make for much better Humans.
