Re: When was America Great?
When it had a whole continent to rape, ruin, exploit and otherwise despoil. Admittedly anyone in the same position would have done the same.
In terms of rapid expansion, influence, increased wealth and such I always think of the period from about 1940 to 1975 or so.

When it was ruled by Great Britain, obviously.

which is never since , when the UK still had possessions in continental America, France and Spain had larger ones (except maybe the 1759-1776 period for France)

Re: When was America Great?
OK so they gave us Jazz.
...which was by the way a cultural appropriation from Africa.

Re: When was America Great?
Jazz was stolen by Africans from British missionaries, who still can't play a tune reliably more than one time.

Thinking about it. Jazz was probably a universal language before sheet music and recording studios. Flute music. Any tune will do.

Re: When was America Great?
I might be. That's because I admire jazz and seek to culturally appropriate it (a lot). Unlike classical music I can't predict the next note, rather exciting. You take Wagner and I'll take Coltrane?

Re: When was America Great?
Looks pretty extensive to me:
(EDIT: of course, the British controlled even more than this at various points eg Oregon, Washington and BC on the Pacific coast)

Don't know about great, but it was better when we thought like this.

Don't know about great, but it was pretty nice a couple of weeks ago, before all this fucking rain.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
