Will it ever be "morning in America" again?

Conservative historians and scholars are looking to Reagan's rhetoric as a beacon of light for the values of patriotism and hope that all generations should hold dear - and as an example of what has come up short in recent years.

"In [his] farewell address, there was a warning. Reagan said this – all of our accomplishments could vanish into the ether if we forget American history and our heroes, and I think we're still in the situation that Reagan described in 1989," Charles Kesler, "Claremont Review of Books" editor, said in the new Fox Nation series, ‘American Requiem.’

"He pointed out that every generation needs to be taught the fundamental values that made this country great. We don't pass it on to our children in their blood," "The New Criterion" editor Roger Kimball echoed in the second installment of the special.

Kesler said the current division in America boils down to a "proto-revolutionary" divisiveness that could spell even more trouble if it continues to run wild.

"You have two countries," he said. "You have a country with a kind of split personality-- two very different conceptions of justice, two images of itself, two futures that it has in mind. And you can't easily split them. You've got to choose between them. That's a situation that becomes pre-revolutionary or proto-revolutionary if it persists."

Is the country headed toward its inevitable decline, as all superpowers do? Or is the malaise a temporary byproduct of economic instability, political division, and a loss of purpose?

The second installment of Fox Nation's "American Requiem" touches on the dramatic cultural shift America has seen since Reagan parted ways with the Oval Office on a warning note several historians claim is coming to fruition, ushering in the divisive, tumultuous America seen today.
