'Dreams from my father' by Barack Obama

His was an American character, one typical of men of his generation, men who embraced the notion of freedom and individualism and the open road without always knowing its price, and whose enthusiasms could as easily lead to the cowardice of McCarthyism as to the heroics of World War 2.

Can you help me understand this, please?

I've often heard the expression, "The call of the open road," which meant you had an urge to explore "new horizons."
It was the pioneering spirit. Everything is possible.
Obviously, if you didn't know or care where you might be headed, you were unaware of what the dangers might be (the costs -- the figurative price you might have to pay for your adventure.) These high spirits might lead
