World War II instilled a very strong sense of nationalism and pride, and patriotism in the United States - following their victory and the war in the European and Pacific theaters, they had gained a lot of confidence. Positive changes were a blooming economy while negative changes, for example, were the idea of constant and imperialistic interference.
