This is a pretty one-sided view of nationalism. You make it sound like a unifying thing when a key point is usually creating a cohesive identity which excludes certain groups. Though it is true that much nationalism in America has been civic nationalism, which is mostly formed around citizenship and shared values (but note also the southern nationalism formed around different shared values, and the nativism starting in the middle of the 19th century).
