No, US copyrights are currently valid for 95 years from date of creation by a company employee (or other works made for hire) or for 70 years after the death of an individual author. Prior to 1978, copyrights were granted for 95 years from date of publication, provided there was an adequate notice of copyright. If published prior to 1963, a renewal registration was required at 28 years. Prior to 1923, copyright was for 14 years with a renewal possible for another 14 years.

At no point was US copyright granted for 25 years.

How long does a copyright last now versus when copyright were originally set?

The first modern copyrights were for 14 or 21 years, depending on whether the work was created before or after the law took effect. The first US copyrights were for 14 years and renewable for another 14 years if the creator was still alive. Current copyright is for the life of the creator plus 70 years, which has the potential to be 10 times longer than the original 14-year term. Some copyrights on unpublished works in the USA last 120 years, whereas those works were completely without copyright until 1976.
