The Sept. 11 attacks changed "almost everything" about American life, author Garrett Graff says. "We have become a much more fearful and anxious country," he told Judy Woodruff. "I think many Americans who didn't live in the world before 9/11 in the United States don't realize how innocent our country really was." Graff, author of "The Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9/11," added that the recent immigration crackdown by federal officials is "an invention of the post-9/11 world" and an attempt to make sure "these type of terror attacks never happen again." Graff joined Woodruff for her series, Crossroads: America at 250. For the full interview, click the link in our bio. Watch PBS News for daily, breaking and live news, plus special coverage.
