I'm not American but I will give you my opinion for what it's worth.
The 1950s seemed to be a time of relative prosperity in the US, Europe was pretty much bankrupt after the 2nd world war. Life in America seemed so much more comfortable. White picket fences, Plymouth convertibles & drive in movie theatres. In the early 50s clothing was still rationed in the UK according to my mother.
The other time that springs to mind were the late 60s early 70s. When JFK announced that America was going to send men to the moon, and did. The Apollo space programme was almost certainly the pinnacle of US achievement & looking at the old movie reels Americans were bursting with pride as the world stood in awe.
