The civil rights movement in the US in the mid-20th century didn’t produce anything positive? The women’s rights movement?

I’d say the lack of sharecroppers, let alone slaves, and the right of women to vote and speak freely is positive.

I understand what you’re getting at, but you’re ignoring quite a bit of history that brought us to where we are today.
