It was that decisive shift in national identity that led to us being a world power. I'd go into it further but your argument of "get a grip" has defeated me.

The Constitution is intact.
The civil war didn't change it.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
