No other nation had to fight for the very existence of itself. Sure, others had to stave off invasion or accept oppression, and there were various revolutions in Latin America, South America, and the Caribbean, but for the most part, they have not enjoyed the stability that resides in America today...

Texas was one of the first Southern states to secede from the United States, as soon as Lincoln was elected president...their main reason was to preserve the right to own slaves. I just wanted to add that the US did indeed have to fight for its own existence...north against south and more Americans died in the Civil War than in any other before or since.
